CLIENT INFORMATION LEAFLETS

We have a large number of client information leaflets on a wide range of subjects which are available to download. These leaflets should be read and used for general information only. They are not to be used as veterinary advice. You are recommended to speak to one of our vetst should you have any problems regarding the welfare or health of your pets.
This list of leaflets is continuously being updated and extended. If there is another subject that you may wish to obtain that isn't currently on this download list then please call our receptionists and if available we can post to you.

Adolescent Dogs

You will already have taken the first step of raising a puppy and had the responsibility of vaccinations, worming and basic training, but the fun does not end there! Adolescents, as they are known, equate to teenage children and need as much care and attention as your new puppy. This leaflet takes you through some of the key issues you face as “parents”. Nutrition, fleas and worms, exercise, neutering, training, microchipping, insurance.

Care of Older Pets

Getting old is a fact of life. By the time our dogs and cats reach their eighth birthday they are, in human terms, becoming senior citizens. This leaflet explains the things you can do so that your pets enjoy the best quality of life for as long as possible. Nutrition, dental care, exercise, routine treatments and  behavioural guidance.

Caring for your Pets Teeth

Imagine how your teeth would look if you didn't clean them every day or visit a dentist. The same is true of your pets. It is estimated that 85% of pets over three years old need dental treatment. This leaflet explains all about plaque and tartar, cavities and how to carry out regular care of your pets teeth.

Diabetic Pets

If your pet has been diagnosed with diabetis mellitus, this may have come as a shock, but you will be pleased to know that it can be treated very successfully, although it does entail a significant commitment of time and effort. This leaflet takes you through the disorder, the signs and symptoms, the treatment, problems and what you can do to help your pet adjust to this problem.

It also makes them more likely to suffer from joint disease, heart problems and diabetes and they become less resistant to certain infectious diseases.
