Patient safety whilst coming in for appointments during the heatwave

We are advising clients to consider postponing routine appointments such as vaccinations until next week when temperatures maybe lower. Especially if they have cardiac or respiratory disease, are elderly or young they are at a higher risk of heatstroke, complications and even collapse.

Brachycephalic breeds with flatter faces and narrower noses are at a much higher risk of complications in the heat.

We are here for any pet that is unwell and of course ALL emergencies.

Please contact the practice and speak to a member of our team for any advice or concerns if you are concerned about the effects of the heat on your pet.
