Dogs and cats share our homes, but their needs are very different.

For many dog owners, a trip to the pub is even better when your four-legged friend can come along too.

The question of whether to put a bell on your cat's collar sparks a lot of discussion among cat owners, and for good reason! There's no single right answer; what's best depends on your cat's unique personality, lifestyle, and your home environment.

We all want to include our pets during the Christmas festivities and treating them to something special isn’t uncommon. Read below for guidance on safe, pet-friendly foods you can give your pet this Christmas.

The Christmas season brings joy, decorations, and Christmas trees into our homes. However, as a pet owner, it's crucial to know if these festive additions are safe for our dogs. At MyVet, we often get asked, "Are Christmas trees toxic to dogs?" The answer is yes, certain aspects of Christmas trees can pose risks to dogs.

This blog explores why dogs might find Christmas trees enticing, why they can be toxic, and how to keep your dog safe during the Christmas season.

Pets, much like humans, can experience anxiety. Recognising and addressing this anxiety is crucial for their wellbeing. At MyVet, we understand the challenges of managing anxious pets and are here to provide you with practical advice to help soothe your anxious dog or cat.

This blog will explore what makes dogs and cats anxious, how to manage their anxiety, and offer tips for keeping them calm.

Travelling with your dog can be an exciting adventure, but it requires some planning to ensure a smooth journey for both you and your dog. Whether you're embarking on a road trip, flying to a new destination, or simply heading to MyVet for a check-up, preparing your dog adequately is key to a stress-free experience. Here, we share some top tips to make sure your dog is travel-ready and comfortable throughout your journey.

If your pet has been to see the vet and they have been given a treatment plan, you may want to continue this at home to ensure your pet’s ears fully recover. Our guidance on caring for your pet’s ears below is based on post-treatment and after your pet has had a full examination on their ears.

We do not recommend that you clean your pet’s ears if they have not been examined by a vet or nurse. Regular ear cleaning for no reason can damage the canal or cause irritation that can result in further problems.
