Make sure your dog is protected against this sneaky parasite. If you aren't sure if they are protected, give us a call at any of our branches for product advice.

Bake Sale & Raffle!

Did you know?!?!

...there have been cases of horses dying due to ingesting dog poo bags?! Scooping that poop is the first step, but making sure you dispose of it in an appropriate place is just as important.

Looking for families to love them

Help - We have two beautiful cats that came in as strays and are now looking for families to love them.

Scoop that poop!

Spread the word - it's time to scoop that poop! Did you know that diseases spread from dog faeces to sheep can be fatal? It's vital to keep your dog's worming up to date and to always remember to scoop that poop.

Bun-day Lunch?

Though rabbits enjoy their vegetables, remember that 85% of their diet should consist of hay or grass - this helps prevent their teeth from overgrowing and makes sure they don't eat too much sugar.

HAPPY #NationalPetDay !!!

‘Woof’, ‘meowww’, ‘sssst’, ‘rawk’ or ‘squeak, oink!' Join us with a BIG THANK YOU to all the Pets that make our lives that little bit more fun and fulfilling! HAPPY #NationalPetDay !!!

Meet SKY...

Meet SKY the 10 month old Parrotlet who came in for her check up with her owner Jenny Purser. The Pacific Parrotlet (Forpus coelestis) originates from Mexico and Central and South America. These birds can learn to mimic, but they aren’t the best talkers of the parrot family. Some individuals can learn quite a few words. Parrotlets might be small but that doesn’t mean that a small cage will do. A spacious wide cage with 1/4 inch bar spacing is ideal. These are active birds that need their play space and plenty of toys to keep them busy. Parrotlets should have a pellet-based diet supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as some seed. They also need a calcium source, such as cuttlebone. You might have to dice up their fruit so they can sink their tiny beaks into it.

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month!!!

Today is the role of the Inpatient nurse. This is such a vital role in the practice, they perform hourly rounds to monitor all animals in their care. They are responsible for ensuring the inpatients all have the medications they need at specific times. They exercise all pets that are in with us even if its letting a little bunny have a hop around in the exotics ward to walking the dogs. Pictured is Amy our Senior Inpatient nurse here at Halesowen (I'm sure many of you have met her discharging your animals before)

Loved all year round!

We love Easter and we love rabbits but please remember that rabbits are there to be loved all year round! They are very cute and sweet but, like all pets, need regular care and commitment.

Half Term!!

Half term is here and it's a great time to get out and about with your dog. There are plenty of dog friendly attractions, pubs and beaches to be found all around the UK that you and your family can enjoy. Why not check out the Dog Friendly Britain website for some inspiration? Don't forget to let us know if you decide to explore any of the suggestions :)

The Benefits Of Neutering

Here at Manor, we believe that it is important to neuter your dog or cat if you are not planning to breed from them. Besides adding to the already growing number of unwanted puppies and kittens, there are lots of reasons as to why neutering is better for your pet's long term health.

A chilly turn

With the tempature set to take a chilly turn this weekend, please take a minute to read through our cold weather advice to keep your pets safe and snug. Please share to spread the word!

Well Done Devon

Our very own Senior Imaging Nurse Devon Caffull wrote an article on small animal dentistry which was published in the VN Times this week! The VN Times is a major publication in the veterinary world and we are all extremely proud of her for such an achievement!

New Years Resolution!

It's that time again when we all make promises that we intend to keep for the year ahead but we thought it would be a good laugh to see what resolutions you think that your pets should make! Maybe your dog should promise to try to chew less shoes, or your cat needs to stop knocking things off ledges when they want attention.....?! Share your ideas and pictures on our Facebook with us so we can all start 2017 off with a good laugh!!!

Rock Salt Poisoning

Now it has become cold and Icy, the gritters are in full force keeping roads and pathways safe for everyone to use, but we must remember the rock salt is harmful to our pets, if ingested.

Post Holiday Blues?

So the summer holidays are pretty much over now but have you started planning your next holiday? Have you ever thought about taking your pet abroad with you?

Just call your nearest branch for more information!

Ticks and Lyme Disease

Ticks have hit the news again today as research has shown that almost a third of dogs carry ticks!

Happy Chewsday!

Did you know that chewing has a number of benefits for your dog’s health and wellbeing? For dogs, chewing is a natural stress releasing activity. Chewing helps release calming hormones, in other words, chewing helps dogs feel good.

Squid Caption...

This little man is Squid who was found limping outside Birmingham Library at only 8 weeks old. Luckily Squid is now loving life with one of our Receptionists, Lucy Jones. Lucy sent us this great picture of Squid and we think you could all come up with some great captions for it on our facebook (personally, we think he's heard that he is coming in for neutering soon!)

The work has begun!

It's only been a week but the builders have started working on next door, stripping the paper and paint off and removing doors. What do you think?

These 2 beauties were left at our Northfield branch and are not even a week old (the black one is too wriggly for a good picture!)

Kipper's Generosity!

Kipper was our winner at the Birmingham Pride Dog Show and sent us some pictures as he had such a great time. Kipper (Kipper the Pug) also met a homeless dog called Michael Jackson there (who is always dancing and shuffling apparently) and Kipper and his owners decided to donate his basket of prizes to Michael as they felt he needed it more! What a lovely thing to do, we are very proud of you
