These workshops give people the opportunity to come to the practice and learn about Pet First Aid.

Topics will include wounds over the body, cut paws, what to do if your pet eats something it should not, what to do if your pet has been in a fight, rabbits with fly strike and much more!

If you'd like to come along to one of these talks and learn about what to do if faced with a first aid situation, please call us on 0113 2369030 to reserve your place.

As many pets hurt themselves unexpectedly, we believe it is very useful for owners to know a little bit about first aid. Topics will include wounds over the body, cut paws, what to do if your pet eats something it should not, what to do if your pet has been in a fight, rabbits with fly strike and much more!

To reserve your place at one of our Pet First Aid talks or if you would like more information, please call into the surgery or phone us on 0113 2369030.

Regular dental checks help to identify any problems as soon as possible, preventing not only mouth pain but also other illnesses such as heart valve disease, kidney disease and liver disease that can be caused when bacteria builds up in the mouth.

If the nurse advises you that your pet requires some dental work, we will give you a voucher for a fantastic 10% discount.

Call into the surgery or phone us on 0113 2369030 to book your FREE dental check appointment!

As the First Aid talks that were held in March were so successful, our clinic nurse, Sheryl, is going to repeat them again throughout October! Many pets can have an accident when we least expect it, so it is always useful to know a little bit about First Aid to help you in these stressful situations.

There will be many topics covered including how to handle animals after an accident, fitting animals, wounds, cut paws, cat fights and flystrike!

If you would like to find out more about these first aid talks or to reserve a spot on one, please phone us on 01132 369030 or ask to speak to our clinic nurse, Sheryl.

It used to be thought that by sedating animals with medication prescribed by the vet was the best way to cope with this time in the year. However, all this actually does is make owners feel better as their pets do not look as stressed. These pets will still be just as anxious and frightened or even more so, they are just not able to react to it. Now there are better ways to help your pet get used to the noises and feel safe during this time.

It is best to start considering how to help your companion through this difficult period now. Although it is a couple of months before the fireworks are going to start, it is around this time that it is best to intervene and work with your pet to help get them over their noise phobias so they can cope with these stressful periods in their life.

The next four months are Fireworks months here at Holly House Vets. There will be consultations available with our clinic nurse, Sheryl, to help you and your pet find out about the different things available to overcome noise phobias. By coming to a noise phobia consultation, you will also be entitled to a free information pack and discounts off many of the products that will be recommended to you, including the Sounds Scary CD, ADAPtil and Feliway.

To book your consultation with our clinic nurse or to find out more about our Fireworks Months, please speak to reception or our clinic nurse, Sheryl.

Caring for your pets teeth is a vital way to help keep your companion healthy. Not only does dental disease mean that your pet can end up losing a lot of their teeth, but it is very uncomfortable and painful. This means that they will become reluctant to eat, start drooling or even become depressed. In some cases, the bacteria in your pets mouth can lead to kidney disease, liver disease and heart valve disease. So dental problems do not just affect your pets mouth!

There are many ways to help prevent dental problems. One way is to have your pets teeth checked regularly. By having regular dental checks, any problems can be identified as soon as possible and hopefully any major dental surgery can be avoided. Dental care at home is also very important to keep your best friends mouth healthy! There are many things that can be used including tooth brushing, mouthwashes and dental foods.

Here at Holly House Vets, we feel it is very important to care for your pets teeth so we are having Pet Smile Month throughout all of September! During Pet Smile Month, we will be offering FREE dental checks with our clinic nurse, Sheryl, where we can offer you plenty of advice on dental care and help with any problems your pet may have! By coming in for your free dental check, you will also be eligible to a 10% discount voucher for any dental work that your pet may need as well as a discount on many dental products that will be recommended to you. You will also be given a dental care pack to take home with you!

To book your free dental check, please speak to reception or ask to speak to out clinic nurse, Sheryl, if you wish to find out anymore details about Pet Smile Month.
