At 365 Vet, we’re passionate about pet health. We want to ensure you’ve got all the right information to keep your four-legged friend healthy and happy all year round.
It’s common to see an influx in pet sales around Christmas time. Especially the sale of puppies and kittens. We agree it’s super cute to gift a furry friend. However, it’s important to remember that puppies grow into dogs, and dogs need to be cared for throughout the year.
Only gift a pet to someone you know can financially support a pet, as well as commit the time needed to care for one. Too many dogs find themselves being rehomed or in kennels come January 31st - this can be stressful for the dog and upsetting for the owner, especially if they’re young.
Dogs bring undeniable love and joy into our lives a

Sitting at the Christmas dinner table, facing your dog’s imploring stare? But here’s the question: How much of our festive feast is actually safe for dogs?
We often hear warnings about certain foods being harmful to dogs. However, figuring out which Christmas foods are safe for them and which ones they should absolutely avoid can be difficult.
It's typically a last-minute consideration as you're preparing dinner or sharing treats, and your dog eagerly asks for a share. Planning ahead before the busy Christmas rush is the best approach. This prevents you from anxiously searching 'Can my dog eat Santa's mince pie?' on Christmas Eve while your kids are asleep.
You might believe that sharing a small amount won't cause harm, but it's not worth the risk of your dog ending up at the vet on Boxing Day.

A flea will bite a dog, consume some of its blood, and then deposit small eggs in the dog's fur. These are then scattered around the house.
Fleas can survive for up to three months and lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs. The eggs will hatch into larvae, which will subsequently evolve into adult fleas ready to bite and lay more eggs.
This cycle will continue, and dwellings can quickly become infested with fleas, eggs, and larvae. Fleas can also transmit tapeworms.
Flea bites can be painful and unpleasant for both pets and people. Rashes and skin disorders in dogs can occur as a result of scratching. They can also be allergic to flea saliva, causing their skin to become inflamed and irritated. This can be quite upsetting for both the dog and the owner.
Fleas can also cause serious medical
