Our pets in Ilford bring us countless moments of joy and unconditional love throughout their lives. As they enter their senior years, however, their needs can change. They may become less energetic, require adjustments to their diet and environment, and be more susceptible to certain health concerns.
Summer is a time for fun in the sun in Ilford, but it's important to remember that the warm weather can be just as uncomfortable for our pets. As dog owners, it's our responsibility to ensure they stay safe and stay cool in the warm weather.
Don't let the heat slow you down! With a few essential tips and tricks from Animal Ark Vets, you can make summer walks enjoyable experiences for you both.
Keeping your pet's claws trimmed is an essential part of their overall health and well-being. Long nails can cause discomfort, make walking difficult and even lead to accidental injuries to both you and your pet.
While clipping your pet's claws might seem daunting at first, with a little practice and the right approach, it can become a quick and stress-free experience for both of you. Here at Animal Ark Vets, we're dedicated to helping you provide the best care for your pet in Ilford, therefore, this guide offers some helpful tips and tricks for clipping your pet's claws safely and effectively.
Cats commonly experience four types of allergies: insects (fleas), food allergies, atopic dermatitis (triggered by house dust, pollen, and moulds) and contact allergies. While they exhibit shared physical expressions and signs, each allergy type also presents unique features. If you believe your cat is showing signs of an allergy, then speaking to a vet at Animal Ark Vets to help you find a solution for making your cat more comfortable and improving their quality of life.
A frequent question our pets at Animal Ark Vets get asked is whether cats should consume canned or dry food.
Fortunately, many commercial cat foods offer an excellent nutritional source, whether in the form of dry or wet cat food. However, hinges on various factors, including weight, health conditions and budget.
Deciding whether to opt for dry, canned or a combination of both is a choice you and your vet or nurse can collaboratively make to ensure the optimal health of your cat. Here's some advice on the comparison between wet and dry cat food.
Like many people dread going to the doctor, the vet can be a source of anxiety for our pets. Luckily, there are steps you can take to alleviate some of the anxiety your pet feels when it senses a vet visit is coming up.
Eight out of ten dogs, according to research, have trouble adjusting to being alone. Yet, half won't exhibit any overt symptoms, making it easy for owners to overlook.
In certain dogs, behaviours related to separation are a result of boredom caused by insufficient physical and mental stimulation. On the other hand, for some dogs, separation-related behaviours and anxiety run deeper.
From skin irritations to digestive issues, understanding and addressing common allergies in dogs is essential for ensuring their well-being. In this blog at Animal Ark Vets, we delve into the world of canine allergies, exploring their types, symptoms and effective management strategies.
