On #WorldSpayDay, we'd like to highlight that the benefits of neutering cats and dogs outweigh any associated welfare risks. Neutering helps prevent the birth of unwanted litters of kittens and puppies and the perpetuation of genetic defects

⚠️ We’re urging all pet owners to take extra care during the warmer weather 🌞 Cars, caravans and conservatories can all heat up very quickly - flat-faced dogs in particular (pugs, bulldogs, frenchies) find it hard to regulate their body temperature 🐶 #LockdownPetcare
*RT please* As temperatures spike across the country, we'd like to remind pet owners that #DogsDieInHotCars. Please spread the word about not leaving a dog in a car in warm weather, as 'not long' can prove too long for our furry friends #petadvice ow.ly/hUkr50zKujT

It is still not business as usual for vets. Over the coming days, we'll be developing further advice to help #teamvet interpret the new @10DowningStreet guidance for their own workplaces ow.ly/osOp50zDGgd

Vet nurses play an integral and varied role in a veterinary team- from healthcare advisers and animal welfare ambassadors, to first-line care providers to hospitalised patients. We're proud to support #VNAM2020! @bvnauk #whatVNsdo bvna.org.uk/about-us/veterin…

May - Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month. From outset I valued being part of team of vets & nurses working together for our animals. Wouldn’t have got very far as a vet without support & contribution of RVNs. Proud to have been Vice-Chair @theRCVS VN Council. Hurray for RVNs!! – at Cumbernauld Village, Scotland

A 'pandemic puppy' or a 'quarantine kitten' may offer much-needed company in this challenging time, but we're urging prospective pet owners to think carefully before adding a new pet to their family during the #COVID19 lockdown 👉 ow.ly/bhAm50ztdRZ ow.ly/KA2M50ztdRY

#Blog Vets have reported an increase in requests for new puppy and kitten registrations and primary vaccinations since the #COVID19 lockdown began. Our President @VetDannii emphasises why now is not the right time to get a new pet on impulse #petadvice ow.ly/NZdM50zu5C0

As we unite to #ClapForKeyWorkers tonight, a reminder not to show your support with #fireworks or sky lanterns. At up to 150 decibels, fireworks can be as loud as a jet engine and often cause severe distress and devastating injuries in pets, livestock & wildlife #ClapForOurCarers

With #COVID19 social distancing measures in place, vets are risk-assessing each case to decide whether certain vaccinations are essential at this time. Please respect your vets' decision if they say they aren't essential right now #WorldVaccinationDay ow.ly/Pv8J50ziVsK

Vets are playing their part in reducing the spread of #COVID19. This means that they're assessing & prioritising treatments on a case-by-case basis, but we're hearing reports of undue pressure and even abuse from clients. Please #RespectYourVet's decision ow.ly/8Zu350zhej3

Veterinary teams are continuing to provide essential care for animals during the #COVID19 lockdown. But it's not business as usual- please be patient & #RespectYourVet's decision as they work hard to balance animal welfare & public health #ThankYouThursday bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/news…

It’s great to see people across the UK unite to #ClapForOurCarers every Thursday, but please don’t show your support with sky lanterns. They're not only a huge fire risk but can also have devastating impacts on pets, livestock & wildlife if animals ingest them or get trapped

Yesterday saw the ban on third-party puppy sales, otherwise known as #LucyLaw. No longer will pet shops or rogue third party sellers be able to separate puppies from their mum too early or subject them to horrendous and inhumane conditions! 💚👏🐶

Arriving at Cardiff Central for our annual Welsh dinner and spotted this excellent advertising campaign from @CatsProtection all over the station. It’s a great time to talk to your vet about #microchipping, which plays a vital role in keeping pets safe ow.ly/BlyJ50uMkew

#Arthritis isn't just about the joints - it eventually affects the muscles, tendons and even your dogs mental health. This image shows the changes in the joint alone... it's a complex disease!! Visit our website bit.ly/2TLUcLF to find out more about what can be done.

Running after a ball is a favourite activity of a lot of #dogs... but it may be doing more harm than good. Repetitive impact on the joints, twisting motion and the lack of control can all lead to microtraumas and pain. Consider more joint friendly activities! #jointhealth

It’s important to know where to get help when you need it. Don’t let things build up, there is always someone to speak to at Vetlife.
Help support every member of the veterinary team by sharing this & know that it’s ok to not be ok.

"Dogs and cats are euthanaised every single day due to severe arthritis when, had it been addressed earlier or more vigorously, they could have lived a longer, pain-free life." - Dr Alex Avery from @OurPetsHealth, giving us the sad truth about #arthritis. #veterinary #welfare
