This is 11 year old Sid who has recently been in for dental work with Selenia, our vet with a postgraduate certificate in small animal dentistry. We carry out staged dentals at 387 Vets. This means that procedures are time-limited to increase pet safety under anaesthesia so if a pet needs a significant amount of treatment, they will come in for more than one visit. Sid was a very brave boy, having 10 teeth removed at his first visit and 5 further extractions a month later.
Did you know that an adult dog has 42 teeth? And that, just as with humans, regular tooth brushing with pet toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush is a really good dental hygiene routine to establish to help protect your dog’s teeth and gums? Get in touch to find out how best to get a toothbrushing regime started and for useful advice on additional things you can do to help keep your dog’s teeth and gums healthy.

20th February is Love Your Pet Day and a brilliant reason to set aside extra time to lavish love and attention on your pet! Pets bring us so much joy and make life richer. They are our companions, a listening non-judgmental friend, are pleased to see us, make us laugh, bring comfort in times of sadness or difficulty, make us more active, give us purpose and have a special place in our hearts.
What makes your pet particularly happy? Whether it’s being pampered, going out and about on a walk, interactive play, or snuggling up next to you, see if you can actively schedule in more of what they love today to show your pet how much you care!

With predictions for a foot of snow in the next 24 hours, here are some great tips from The Dogs Trust for keeping dogs safe when you’re out and about in wintery weather:
In snowy weather, to help prevent injury, keep dogs on a lead to ensure they don’t unwittingly venture onto unsafe ground or stumble into holes hidden by snowfall.
Do up any lead or harness clips before you set out as they are harder to manage with cold hands.
Some dogs get cold more readily than others. Shorter-haired breeds and puppies will benefit from wearing a dog coat to keep them warm.
Don’t let dogs walk on frozen ponds as the ice may not bear their weight. If they do fall in, do not go in after them. Encourage your dog to swim back to you if possible and call the emergency services.
Make sure you and your dog are easily visible to others in poor weather to keep you safe.
After winter walks, wipe your dog’s legs, feet and tummy as grit and dampness can cause irritation.
If it’s too nasty to go outside for any length of time, have some activities to hand to entertain your dog indoors. Long lasting chews, LickiMats® and enrichment toys are great for engagement. Check out our carefully curated range in our waiting room!
