Say hello to these beautiful bunnies who were in practice with us yesterday for neutering. The three brothers Alfalfa, Angel and Winter are absolutely stunning. Alfalfa is easy to recognises as he has one upright ear and one floppy ear. This is commonly known as helicopter ears. What a great term!
Rabbits can reach puberty at a very young age, so we recommend neutering males at around three months old and females at around five months old to prevent any baby surprises if you are keeping a male and a female together. Neutering has lots of other advantages too as it can stop territorial urine and faeces marking, reduces aggression, helps with companion compatibility and even has health benefits: the RSPCA reports that around 80 percent of unneutered females develop uterine cancer after the age of three which usually proves to be fatal.
The Rabbit Welfare and Fund charity offers great advice for first time and long-standing rabbit owners on how to help pet rabbits stay happy and healthy. Check out their website for best bunny husbandry as well as life stage and seasonal health advice.

With the 10-day forecast showing lovely sunshine ahead, it’s a great opportunity for you and your pets to enjoy the great outdoors! Do, however, bear in mind that our furry friends may need a bit of extra consideration at this time to ensure they stay happy and healthy in this late-Spring warmth.
Even if it doesn’t feel truly summery yet, it’s important not to leave dogs unattended in cars in warm weather. A pleasant temperature outside can still create an oven environment in the car. Conservatories can be hot-house danger zones too. Give pets the opportunity to move away from sunshine and heat and to rest in a cooler environment should they choose. Cats will love shady spots in the garden which you can create simply by putting out a chair or your patio furniture, or by introducing pet-friendly shade-casting shrubs. If you have small furries in outdoor hutches, consider how the sun moves during the course of the day, so there’s no point at which they’ll be in full glare.
Hydration is important as the weather warms up. Putting out extra bowls with fresh water means your pets will never be too far from a hydration station at home.
And if you feel you need to apply suncream, consider whether your pets need protection too. Hairless breeds and white-furred dogs and cats are prime candidates for sunburn where there is exposed skin. Avoid by applying pet-friendly sunscreen appropriately, and remember the tips of the ears!
Hoping you and pets make the most of the wonderful May sunshine!

We were delighted to welcome Beth back from maternity leave at the end of January and many of you will already have spotted her on reception desk since she’s been back! Beth returns to the brand-new hybrid position of Client Services and Operations Coordinator. This means that, in addition to carrying out reception activity and using her SQP qualification to help streamline dispensing on desk, Beth will also spend part of her working week supporting our Operations Manager with improving efficiencies in practice as we continue to grow. This new part of Beth’s role includes price and stock checking, cross-referencing and ordering as well as checking agreed stock-related and waste reduction initiatives are being implemented. Beth will be on reception every Friday, and she’ll cover when other reception team members are poorly, have holidays booked or as the need arises. Not only does this mean that we’ll have more dedicated reception team members on desk more of the time, but it means you’ll get to see Beth on a regular basis too!
