Avoid the medical bills with pet insurance. Just like other types of insurance, pet insurance means that you can have peace of mind for your pet as you are prepared for any situation that may arise. It means that if there is a surprise medical bill, it is the last thing you have to worry about, so you can focus on your beloved pet's health.

Bringing a puppy home is an exciting time, from their cuddles, training them to sit, to playing with them. It’s a fun and busy environment, but it can become a little bit messy if they haven’t been toilet trained. Toilet training is an important element of bringing a puppy home that should be focused on within their first days of being home with you. Establishing a set routine of toileting with you will help to set up your puppy’s future success for toileting behaviour. A crate helps substantially with toilet training, so ensure you’ve read the crate article here before continuing.

When it comes to dental health, prevention is always the best treatment. Identifying where there is a dental health condition in your pet however, often it is near impossible with many pets showing no obvious symptoms at all. While it may be hard to identify, four out of five of our dog and cat patients are affected by symptoms of dental disease by the age of three.

Choosing the right food for your pet is important to set them up for life and their overall health (inside and out). We’ll provide you with some helpful information below on Superior Nutrition food, and why we recommend a Superior Nutrition diet for the wellbeing of your pet.

Training your puppy is important to help you on your way to a well-rounded, socially robust and happy dog. Persistence, patience and positive reinforcement will ensure your pup is aware of the behaviours you want. We strongly recommend taking your puppy to training classes such as Animates Puppy Preschool, as it will not only help you and your puppy learn the right manners, but it will also expose your puppy to other puppies and dogs, and will help with their social enrichment.

Travelling with your dog can be a short trip to your local clinic or the park, or as exciting as taking them on holiday with you. Wherever you’re going, it’s important to ensure your pet is safely restrained (in either a harness or a carrier), and can access what they need while you’re travelling.

Unfortunately, some pets do get travel-sickness, so preparing for this will not only make your pet’s travel less uncomfortable, but will also give you piece of mind.
