We had a fab time at Chez Fest on Saturday and loved meeting everyone and saying hi to any four legged friends attending! A big thank you to those of you who entered our competition to guess how many tapeworm segments were in the jar. We used grains of rice to represent tapeworm as if an animal has the parasite, you’re likely to see rice-like deposits around their bottom and in their poo. These are actually segments of tapeworm that have broken off. And they are alive! Ugh!
All ‘tapeworm segments’ have now been counted and we can reveal that the grand total in one very small jar was an incredible 2,725! Competition winners have been notified.
With summer being peak parasite season, it’s a great reason to check your pet’s parasite prevention treatments are up to date. Do ask us which treatment is best for your pet’s lifestyle to prevent against unwelcome visitors!

Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) is celebrated annually in order to promote the health and welfare of pet rabbits and to raise awareness about the unique needs of one of the UK’s favourite pets.
RAW runs from 23rd – 27th June and the focus for 2025 is ‘Happy Hoppy Homes.’ Did you know that rabbit homes should have a minimum footprint of 3m x 2m so that bunnies can hop and run, and that they should be 1m in height so they fully stretch upright without their ears touching the roof.
Introducing different levels in a bunny home is great for enrichment and for separating feeding, resting and exercise spaces. Get creative with tunnels to maximise bunny fun! And don’t forget lots of fresh straw bedding so bunnies can snuggle and keep cosy.
Rabbits love to play, and toys enable them to exhibit natural behaviours like digging, jumping and chewing. You can stuff cardboard tubes with hay and healthy treats as engagement activity, provide a digging box filled with shredded paper and include wickers toys that rabbits can toss and chew. Remember to include plenty of hiding places, which could even be cardboard boxes which rabbits can chew too!
Rabbits are sociable soles and are happiest with another rabbit companion, but make sure they are neutered! Ask us for tips on introducing a new friend to your rabbit’s home as this needs to be carefully managed for optimum results.
The Rabbit Awareness Action Group have heaps more great advice on helping rabbit owners to create a ‘Happy Hoppy Home’. Click here to download your free Rabbit Awareness Week Owner Pack from the group’s website, and make sure you follow Rabbit Awareness Week on Facebook and other social media channels for top tips on helping bunnies to live their best life!

This is Staffie puppy Buster enjoying lovely impromptu cuddles with our Registered Veterinary Nurse Amy. Amy had been chatting to Buster’s mum a few weeks previously when mum had been in with her other dog Luna. At the mention of a new puppy addition to the family, Amy made sure she was available to pop out and say hello when baby Buster was due in for his vaccs. What an adorable snuggly cutie pup!
