Niles has his spring clip

Niles came in for his annual check-up, clip and dental examination today. Because his coat gets so matted in spring his carer opts to have him clipped all over every year. Eleven year old Niles passed his physical exam and blood tests with flying colours. 

He had a general anaesthetic so that we could scale and polish his teeth and take out one decayed canine tooth. 

Niles does not like the clippers and the matts were perilously close to his skin so Nurse Eliza clipped him while he was still asleep.  

He was very frisky when he woke up, demanding a late breakfast asap!

Every pet deserves a healthy, pain-free mouth

Dr Christine Hawke, a veterinary dentist, believes every pet deserves a healthy, pain-free, mouth. Most pets hide mouth pain and discomfort. Regular check ups and dental treatments prevent gum disease, tartar build-up and loss of teeth.
Book your cat's check-up during Dental Health month in August and be sure your cat is not stoically hiding a painful mouth.
