September’s “Pet of the Month” is Lara Mcshane, a 10 year old Labrador. Since on the 1st of May 2008, Lara weighed 37.9 Kg (6 stone). The vet advised Mr Mcshane that Lara needed to lose weight. One of our nurses advised him on ways that could help Lara lose weight during a one to one nurse’s clinic and, 3 months later, she weighed 31.9Kg (5 stone).

You can influence the future character of your pet by the experiences you offer them during the first few weeks of life.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the practise of inserting fine, solid needles into the body for pain relief or, in some cases, to help the body deal with other diseases.

How does acupuncture work?

It works through the nervous system. The needles block the pain messages and encourage the brain and central nervous system to produce more of the body’s natural painkillers. In conditions that are not painful, acupuncture may help to reset the body’s normal functioning.
