As pet owners, we cherish the energy and vibrancy our dogs and cats bring into our lives. They greet us at the door, brighten our days with their playful antics and snuggle close when we need comfort.
Your pets can be your best friend or part of the family, we understand this and we are committed to providing the highest quality in veterinary services and support. That is why the expert team of veterinarians at Animal Ark Vets have put together general pet advice to cover topics such as neutering, travelling with your pet and dealing with fireworks or noise phobias.
General Pet Advice
Support your pet's oral health
Although it is frequently overlooked in pet care, oral health is an essential component of their general well-being.
The silent threat of dental issues
Dental disease is a prevalent health issue that frequently goes untreated when it comes to our pets in Essex.
As the cold and flu season approaches, pet owners often wonder if their pets can catch these illnesses too. The answer is yes - pets can indeed catch colds and flu, though the viruses that affect them are typically different from those that infect humans.
At Animal Ark Vets in Essex, we are proud to offer comprehensive and cost-effective preventative healthcare plans to keep your pet as healthy as possible.
Have you been noticing an increased water intake in your dog or cat recently? There might be instances where you find yourself refilling their water bowl more often than usual.
What should I do if I find a lump on my pet? Finding a lump doesn't necessarily signify a severe health issue, and even if it turns out to be a type of cancer, there could be several treatment approaches available.
Owning a pet can be a fantastic and rewarding experience and, for many, our pets become part of the family.
When the time comes to let them go it can be incredibly sad.
Animal Ark Vets are here to help you through this difficult time.
Contact our Client Care Team and we will do our best to make it as easy on you and pet as a possible.
