Covid – 19 And Early Socialisation

Covid 19 And Early Socialisation.

Covid 19 and early socialisation, the early experiences that a puppy or kitten has when they are little will have a huge impact on their behaviour and personality for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, over the past year the pandemic has made it much harder to socialise young pets. If you purchased a pet during the lockdown and they are hitting their ‘Teenage Stage’ do not despair, but do ask for help. Our Spring Blog gives a glimpse into how breeders can help, and at what age a puppy or kitten should leave its mum.

Did you know just like a human pets have two sets of teeth! For most pets, their “milk” teeth start falling out from around 12 weeks of age, our Spring News Blog explains what happens if those baby teeth don’t fall out, although this is usually only a problem in dogs.

Ticker Trouble!

Your pets heart is a muscular pump responsible for supplying the tissues of your pet’s body with oxygen, but just like humans, pets can suffer heart disease too! Our Spring News discusses the signs of heart disease in both cats and dogs. As with many illnesses, early detection is the golden rule!

Spring Tick Alert!

As the weather warms up and we head towards the Spring and Summer months ticks become more active, becoming a risk to both you and your pets. Although pets rarely seem troubled by them, ticks can spread diseases that pose a serious health risk. Our Spring News discusses ticks and how to avoid them.
