At 365 Vet we’re against the use of horse calmers for anything other than calming anxious horses during travelling, clipping, farrier or dental visits.
Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new supplements to a horse’s diet, as they can provide guidance tailored to the specific needs of your horse.
What are horse calmers?
Horse calmers, also known as calming supplements, are designed to help horses manage acute or chronic stress, anxiety and nervousness. They can be used in situations such as transport, veterinary visits, or during periods of environmental changes.
Our supplements come in powder form and can be mixed with your horse's food daily. They can be used for short or long periods - however, if your horse is suffering from anxiousness for extended periods you should consult with your veterinarian. The supplements in our range are designed to be non-drowsy and cause no long-term effects.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of horse calmers can vary between

More young professionals are seeking companionship from a loyal lap dog or a low-energy breed that enjoys lounging indoors and doesn’t require extensive exercise.
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.

At 365 Vet, we care about the health of your pets. In this blog post, we’re delving into the world of pets, looking at the most popular and how to care for them.
No.1 Dogs
Coming in at number one, we have dogs. Dogs are known as the most popular pets in the UK, with labradors being the most popular breed. Dogs offer companionship and loyalty, they’re often very affectionate and playful.
To care for dogs you will need to:
- Ensure a balanced diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins.
- Have a feeding routine in place where you feed your dog at consistent times each day. This will help to avoid begging and unnecessary snacking on high-calorie and unhealthy snacks that could see your pet gaining needless weight which can lead to further health concerns.
- Always have fresh drinking water available for your dog.
- Partake in daily walks to make sure your dog is getting enough physical exercise. Some breeds may require more intense exercise such as running or agility

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.
Do not wait if you think your dog has eaten something dangerous - speak to a vet immediately.

If you own a cat, you know that keeping your furry friend looking and feeling their best is all part of the job. Cat grooming might seem like a fancy affair but it's pretty straightforward if you know what you're doing.
Brushing
First things first, let's talk about brushes. Cats are all unique and their fur comes in different shapes and sizes. For short-haired cats, a bristle brush can work wonders. Long-haired kitties might prefer a slicker brush to keep those tangles in check.
Timing
Now, how often should you brush your cat? Short-haired cats are usually okay with a once-a-week session, while long-haired cats might need a quick brush every day. It's all about knowing your cat's coat and keeping it in check.
Go easy
When you brush, remember to be gentle. Cats like a soft touch. Start with short strokes and see how your cat feels about it. If they seem okay with it, keep going - but if they seem uncomfortable don't push it. A few treats and some sweet talk can go a long way in making grooming
