Travelling with pets can be daunting but exciting. Imagine strolling across a Cornish beach with your dog, relaxing in a country cottage with your cat, or hacking in the Highlands with your horse. Travelling is possible with careful preparation to ensure your pets are comfortable on long journeys.
Cats
Cats have very independent natures and can be sensitive to change. Before a long journey, it is essential to familiarise yourself with your cat’s behaviour. See how they react to short car journeys and in their carrier.

As the temperatures rise, summer can be a season of joy and adventure for pet owners and their furry companions. However, it's also a time when pets are susceptible to various health risks associated with heat and outdoor activities.
Ensuring your pet's safety and well-being during the summer months requires careful attention and proactive measures. Here are some essential tips from 365 Vet to help keep your pet safe and comfortable during the summer season.
Hydration
One of the most critical aspects of pet care during summer is ensuring they stay well-hydrated. Pets, like humans, can suffer from dehydration and heatstroke if they don't have access to enough water. Make sure your pet always has fresh, clean water available, especially when spending time outdoors. Consider carrying a portable water bottle and bowl during walks or trips to the park. Signs of dehydration include

If you’re a young professional who works from home most of the time and is serious about meeting the responsibilities of looking after a dog, then a dog may be a good addition to your life.

There's no denying the sheer joy that lights up a dog's face when the word "walk" is uttered. For our furry companions, a stroll isn't just about physical exercise, it's a sensory adventure and a chance to explore the world one sniff at a time.

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.
