We are excited to announce our family open day event, on Saturday 15th August from 12.30 till 3pm. We will be offering a tour of our facilities, where you will have the opportunity to see exactly what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ at Ennis Veterinary Clinic. Although we cannot promise any live demonstrations in our surgery and x-ray facilities, we hope you will like some of our creative displays! We are grateful to Hill’s Pet Nutrition who will have a weighing station set up for free of charge weight checks for your pet and the opportunity for you to discuss keeping your 4-legged companion fit and healthy. We will have face painting, balloons and a colouring competition for the kids so bring along the whole family, even if it’s just for a cup of tea and some home baking and a chat with our veterinary and grooming team. We look forward to seeing you!
Happy New Year to all our readers! What a better way to start the year than by setting some goals and resolutions? Anyone else already broken theirs already? Nonetheless, here are our top pet resolutions to make 2015 your pet’s healthiest year yet!
- Measure your pet’s food- every time
Many owners “eyeball” their pet’s daily intake and pour that into a bowl, usually resulting in overfeeding and weight gain. We recommend using a designated feeding cup or even weighing out the food on electronic scales. Remember older pets and those who have been neutered usually have lower energy needs than young, intact animals.
- Choose an Age-Appropriate Diet
To be healthy and free of disease, your pet requires nutrition that is specific to his or her life-stage. For instance growing pets have very specific nutrient requirements to ensure their bodies grow healthy and strong. Senior pets may have lower energy requirements and the correct level of specific nutrients will help in keeping critical organs healthy. Choosing a diet specifically tailored to your pet’s life stage is a great way to keep them in optimal health.
- Explore some new walks with your pet
