FLEAS! Its a word every owner dreads to hear - but there should be no stigma to a pet having fleas!
But we do need to do something about it. We all know it is important to do a regular flea treatment on our pets (be that spot on or oral tablets), but did you know it is equally important and possibly more important to treat your home regularly?
Your carpets and even gaps in hard-flooring act as a reservoir for flea eggs and pupae. Its a common mistake that the black flecks you see in your pets coat when they have fleas are the eggs - not true! In fact those bits are flea POO!
​
The flea only hops on the animal for a meal - it spends the rest of its days in the environment and thats where the females lay thousands of eggs. So treating the home is SO important. Products like Indorex pictured opposite are great for this.
​
So please ask us about Indorex or a similar spray and we will be happy to supply for you.
The tin opposite is £25.39 delivered to your door in the Bournemouth and Poole area.
Paws this Winter
We always think about our dogs feet in summer - walking on hot pavements, but what about the winter months?
​
Icy roads, muddy and wet feet, can all lead to infection and just plain discomfort! This product applied to the pads and the webbing can help to keep your K9 pals paws warmer and protected from the elements this winter.
Please ask us about availability and cost. We can drop to your door in the Bournemouth and Poole area!
Tooth Talk
Vets do ALOT of dentals - and believe it or not most of us are not that keen on them! They are time consuming and hard work!
​
But they are also vitally important to overall health. Oral health has a massive impact on our own and our pets general health. Even mild active gingivitis in people and pets has been shown to increase local and systemic inflammatory markers.
Not only this, but the bacteria present lead to bad breath and a source of blood borne infection to other organs including heart valves, liver infections, joint infections and kidney infections to name just a few.
​
Like cars - routine and ongoing dental maintenance is often overlooked by owners, mild tartar and gingivitis ignored till the last minute, and post dental work aftercare poorly supported by vets.
​
Where tooth brushing is not a possibility (and lets face it - especially with cats its damn near impossible), then Stomodine F gel is a great thing you can do to help. It contains antibacterials to prevent bacteria building up and quickly improves bad breath. Using the supplied applicator you squeeze a small amount as directed into the side of the mouth on both sides regularly (again as directed).
COST - from us £12.95 per 30ml tube which is the same cost as many online retailers and if we deliver to you on our rounds then there is no postage - Bonus!!
Pack of 2 tablets - £5.13
Pack of 4 tablets - £10.25
Pack of 6 tablets - £15.38
Pack of 8 tablets - £20.51
Bad Bottom? Stock up for Winter.
Acute diarrhoea is super common in dogs and almost always the result of eating something they shouldn't have! These tablets are great to have in stock at home to help bind the poo back to a more solid consistency. They also help to maintain a normal electrolyte balance, which you can lose during bouts of diarrhoea.
They are given at half a tablet per 10kg of body weight twice daily, and just might help stop an expensive Vet visit.
​
For convenience we can supply in various amounts depending on dog size. ​
