Yesterday our team was proud to attend the community day with Stay Foundation at Windale! 🐾

It was a fantastic day giving back to the community, with an amazing turnout from local pet owners.

Dr Andrew and Dr Lee ran the cat station with the help from Nurse Olivia, where they vaccinated 22 cats and provided preventative healthcare advice and treatments to help keep pets happy and healthy. Overall, the day saw 39 dogs and 22 cats receive care and vaccinations.

A big thank you to everyone involved in making the day such a success — we love being able to support our community and help care for the pets who need it most. 💙🐶🐱

🐶 ANXIETY IN DOGS — MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK 🐾

Many dogs experience anxiety, and it’s often linked to the busy, noisy world we live in. Sometimes anxiety can stem from a dog’s upbringing, lack of early socialisation, past experiences, or even genetics.

Common signs of anxiety or fear in dogs can include:
▪️ Barking excessively
▪️ Shaking or trembling
▪️ Pacing or restlessness
▪️ Panting or drooling
▪️ Scratching or excessive licking
▪️ Chewing or destructive behaviour
▪️ Toileting indoors

Some common triggers include:
⚡ Loud noises like thunderstorms or fireworks
🏠 Being left home alone
👶 Changes at home such as a new baby or pet
🚗 Car rides
👥 Visitors
🩺 Vet visits
🐕 Lack of socialisation as a puppy

Older dogs can also become anxious due to age-related changes affecting memory and awareness.

💙 So how can you help?

✔️ Create a safe, quiet space at home
✔️ Maintain regular exercise and enrichment activities
✔️ Spend quality time together to strengthen your bond
✔️ Use positive reinforcement and confidence-building training
✔️ Speak with your vet to rule out underlying medical causes such as pain or illness

Early socialisation and positive experiences can make a huge difference in helping dogs grow into calm, confident companions.

If you’re concerned about your dog’s behaviour or anxiety levels, our team is here to help - Call us on 02 4954 7055 🐾

UPDATE: Owners have been found and little one is at home with mum and dad.

Do you know me?
We have had this lovely angel handed into us this afternoon, found on Pendlebury Rd Cardiff and are looking for the owner. Little one does have a blue band on the left foot but we are having trouble locating the owner so if you recognise this little one please call us on 49547055 and hopefully we can get this little one home!
