Pet Newsletter August 2026
Date: 1 Aug 2026
Hello everyone!
Our August newsletter includes a fascinating article on interpreting our dog’s body language, a cat who is indeed lucky to be back home, a video showing what our free dental checks look like, and some answers to the many questions we have had about bird flu and its risk to your cats & dogs.
Dental Month is here - save 20% on dental procedures
Dental disease often develops before you notice bad breath. Left untreated, it can cause pain, infection, tooth loss and impact your pet's overall health.
Not sure if your pet needs a dental procedure? Book a FREE dental consultation with one of our nurses. We'll assess their oral health and recommend the best next steps.
Book now and save 20% during Dental Month.
