Senior Pet Health Checks
As pets age, they can become prone to developing certain types of diseases:
- Dental Disease
- Arthritis
- Kidney Disease
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Cancer
- Liver Disease
- Diseases of the endocrine system (e.g. Hyperthyroidism)
Regular checkups with your veterinarian will help detect any health problems early
The earlier these problems are identified the more can be done to help.
This is where Cambridge Vets can help.
We can provide a more pro-active approach to senior animal care through an individualised wellness programme for your pet.
Remember, pets age about 7 times faster than humans, so a trip to the vet once a year for your pet is like a trip to the doctors every 7 years for us.
Providing optimal care for Senior Pets:
- Intervention will be of more benefit if instituted early
- Promotes early detection of abnormalities (even in the apparently normal pet)
- Promotes individualised medical care to enhance quality & length of life
- Acknowledges & enhances the human-animal bond

Baby Oli Update!
We've reached Monday and he's still with us! 🥳🥳 The awesome Cambridge Vets team have been keeping a close eye on him all weekend and he's been doing really well (thank goodness).
He still has a loooooong way to go and will be staying with one of his lovely vet nurses this week while he continues to receive 24hr care. At this stage, until his swelling goes down we don't know whether his injuries are survivable in the long term and at the moment we're not sure he still has sight in both eyes but we're hopeful.
Keep sending your healing vibes Oli's way - if he makes it through this week then he'll be with us for some time while he recovers.
Thank you so much to the lovely people who donated towards Oli's care. We even had some people donate directly onto our account at Cambridge Vets when the vet team told them about Baby Oli and what he's going through 🥰
We still have a long way to go but we've got our fingers and toes crossed and the help of an amazing vet team in Oli's corner.
If you'd like to donate towards Oli's care, here are our bank details: Pound Hounds Rescue Charitable Trust, ASB, 12 3268 0096027 00 using the reference Baby Oli
🐾🎄 The holiday season is just around the corner, and it's time to include our furry friends in the festivities! Here are some tips to ensure your pets have a safe and joyful holiday:
* Decorate with care: Keep ornaments, tinsel, and lights out of reach to prevent any curious nibbles.
* Safe snacks only: With all the delicious treats around, remember some human foods are a no-go for pets. Keep chocolate, grapes, and festive foods like stuffing and mince pies away from your fur babies.
* Cozy corners: Create a quiet, comfy space where pets can retreat if the celebrations get a bit too lively.
* Vaccination check: Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations before any holiday gatherings to keep them healthy and safe.
* Stock up on supplies: Don't forget to buy enough dog food and treats to keep them happy throughout the festivities.
* Don't forget prescriptions: If your pets require any medication, make sure to get their prescriptions filled in advance, so they don't miss a dose during the busy holiday season.
* Gift time: Don’t forget to spoil them with a new toy or treat! 🎁🐶🐱

☀️🐾 Summer is here, and while we're all excited for sunny adventures with our furry friends, let's not forget to keep them safe! 🌡️ Remember, pets can suffer from heatstroke just like humans, so it's crucial to take precautions. Always provide plenty of water and shade during outdoor activities, and avoid walking them on hot pavement. Most importantly, NEVER leave pets in a parked car, even with the windows cracked—temperatures can soar to dangerous levels in minutes! Let's make this summer safe and enjoyable for everyone. Share these tips and spread the word to keep our pets cool and happy! 🐶🐱💦 #sunsafepets #keeppetscool #SummerSafety
