Don't feed bread to Ducks!

Rotting bread pollutes the water and causes nasty surface algae, which kills the fish and gives ducks diseases. It also makes the water smell.

OK TO FEED:

• Cut seedless grapes
• Cooked rice
• Birdseed
• Peas & Corn
• Oats
• Chopped lettuce

Bread makes ducks ill as it does not contain the right nutrition or calories that they need to keep warm in the winter.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR DENTAL CARE

It's not uncommon for us to see an older pet with dental disease but many people are worried about their senior pet having to undergo a dental procedure.

In fact, as our pets get older, their immune system becomes less effective at fighting off bacterial and viral diseases so good dental health is more important than ever!

Senior pets may be missing or have worn down teeth and this can affect their ability to chew and digest their food. They are also very good at hiding dental pain and soldiering on, so many owners put changes down to 'getting old.'

HELP US FIGHT ANIMAL CRUELTY

A HEALTHY MOUTH = A HEALTHY PET

There's no getting around this one. If you want your pet to live a healthy life, they need to have a healthy mouth!

There is now plenty of evidence to prove that dental disease is linked to other problems such as heart disease, so it is absolutely essential we keep an eye on your pet's oral health.

Dental disease strikes when plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth and lead to infection of the gums. Bacteria from this infection can travel in the blood stream around the body and can impact the heart as well other organs such as the lungs and kidneys.
