With temperatures set to reach record highs this week, trying to keep our pets cool and hydrated is more important than ever. Make sure you leave lots of fresh water stations around the house. Popping ice cubes into water bowls will keep water cooler for longer. Ensure pets have access to shade and cooler spots at all times, and if there’s any chance of a gentle breeze, even better. Indoor fan sales this week must be through the roof! A special shout out to bunnies with this being Rabbit Awareness Week. Keep hutches out of the sun, ensure runs have shade, wipe the tips of your rabbit’s ears to help them cool down, and pop a frozen bottle of water wrapped in a tea towel into their living space so they can choose to lie against it should they wish. Keep water for their water bottles in the fridge – or even freeze them – for a cool refreshing drink.
Here are two of our team’s pets enjoying some super cool fun this week! We’d love you to share pics of how your pets are keeping cool!

Today is the first day of Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) 2026! For their 20th anniversary, RAW is focusing this year on ‘Feeding Bunnies Better’. Did you know that 85-90% of a rabbit’s diet should be high quality feeding hay/grass, and that this is essential for their digestive, dental and behavioural health? Add a small amount of nutritious rabbit nuggets into the mix to provide extra vitamins and nutrients and a handful of fresh greens for variety, and your rabbit has the perfect spread for the day!
Did you also know that rabbits need plenty of living space to help them to balance their diet? If their living space is cramped, movement is limited which impacts their health and wellbeing and makes it harder to encourage natural feeding behaviours like grazing on hay throughout the day. As well as enabling them to stretch and explore, giving rabbits room to roam helps fuel a healthy appetite for tip top teeth and tummy health!

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (which we’re rolling into June), isn’t just about celebrating the role of qualified nurses. It’s also about raising awareness around what the job can entail and championing students currently working towards a career in veterinary nursing. Our student nurse Isobel initially started at 387 Vets volunteering for a day a week whilst studying for an Animal Management Diploma to gain course-required practical experience in an animal-related environment. Three years later, she has just completed the second year of her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma and, after the summer, will be starting to prepare for her oral Professional Discussion with an industry panel and final practical examinations (OSCEs) to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse! What have been the highlights so far?
“I loved starting in kennels and on cat ward to really get to know the inpatient role properly before moving into other areas in practice. I have had lots of opportunity to take clinics and feel competent running nurse consults. Learning anaesthetics under supervision has been really interesting, and I particularly love seeing pets going through the whole journey now from admit to discharge, and being an active part in it all. It’s like piecing the whole jigsaw together.”
The time has flown! We look forward to supporting Isobel in the exciting months aheads!
