The majority of dog owners know about intestinal worms, but I wanted to write today about lungworm in dogs. This is a potentially serious disease with cases on the increase in the Midlands.

Choosing a good healthy puppy may not always be as easy as it seems.

Vaccinations are available to prevent many of the major diseases that are a threat to dogs, cats and rabbits. Every pet vaccinated receives a full health check.

Sadly every year thousands of straying pets are handed in at the RSPCA and their owners can’t always be traced. However, if a pet has been implanted with a microchip, identification and return home is a comparatively straight forward process.

It is our recommendation that pets are microchipped – just in case! This is an easy procedure and we can do it at a routine out-patients appointment.

Throughout June can now get your pet microchipped at Borrajo's for the special price of just £14.99 including VAT!

Taking your pet on holiday abroad can be complicated, costly and time consuming. Different requirements should be met for different countries, so today I will talk about travelling to and from countries within the EU with your dog or cat.

The subject of vaccination has frequently been in the media for both animals and people. How important is vaccination? How often are boosters needed? What about the side effects? Numerous issues have been raised and I would like to cover some of these today.

It’s that time of year again… not long until Christmas! We are all beginning to stock up with good food and presents and it won’t be long before the Christmas tree comes out!

The fireworks season is fast approaching - a time of year many pet owners dread. Hundreds of pets have noise phobias and in many cases, controlling them can be a challenge.
