We wanted to make you aware of a current scam to which one of our clients has unfortunately fallen victim. False microchip companies are contacting owners to advise them their pet‘s microchips are about to expire and that owners need to pay a fee to reactivate. Do not pay. If in any doubt about your pet’s microchip status please contact the company your pet’s microchip is registered with directly. We are happy to scan your pet and confirm who holds their microchip registration details if you are unsure.

We had an amazing time at the Investors in People Awards last night in London which celebrated excellence in business performance with an emphasis on people leadership, well-being, support and development. The awards recognised not just British companies but IiP organisations worldwide.
387 Vets were finalists in the UK Employer of the Year awards for platinum accredited organisations with 2-49 employees. Huge thanks to everyone who sent us messages of support. We didn’t win but felt proud to be shortlisted as one of the cream of the crop and privileged to spend the evening with high achieving organisations from a such a diverse range of business sectors.

This is beautiful one year old Alfie who came in to see us with reduced appetite, lethargy and vomiting when drinking water. We suspected a foreign body as Alfie’s abdomen had also become tender so we too him into theatre to investigate. On exploration, we found part of what looked like a foam soft toy or ball. Definitely not edible!
Whilst the source of Alfie’s foreign body remains a mystery, please do check your dog‘s toys regularly to make sure they remain safe to play with and haven’t outstayed their welcome in the doggy toy box! It’s worth checking your garden too incase anything has come over the garden fence that shouldn’t have and looks tempting for inquisitive canines to explore!

With Halloween at the end of this month (and, dare we say it, shops getting ready for Christmas!), chocolates are currently on sale in even more abundance! If you are buying in for trick or treating, please be sure to keep chocolatey treats well away from inquisitive canines. Milk and dark chocolates are made with cocoa solids which contain theobromine, a substance toxic to dogs. And the darker the chocolate, the higher the concentration of theobromine. The severity of chocolate poisoning depends on how much chocolate your dog has eaten, how big your dog is and the concentration of cocoa solids.
We strongly advise contacting your vet for advice if you know your dog has eaten chocolate. It’s really helpful if you have the wrapper with the ingredients list to hand. Here are Rolo and Mars who were in to see us recently for this very reason. We were able to act quickly and make them sick to prevent the toxins from taking effect. Even though they are fabulously named, no chocolate-eating allowed!
Use our poisons checker on our 387 Vets’ Advice 24/7 page for guidance on chocolate poisoning and a whole range of other toxins too.
And don’t forget, registered clients can use our VidiVet service to touch base with a vet for free. Great for concerns out of hours if you are unsure whether your pet needs to be seen as an emergency.
We wish all pets a happy, healthy chocolate-free Halloween!
