Mustcare Vet Compton Road

Did you know that changes in drinking habits can be one of the earliest signs that something isn't quite right?

Some pets don't drink enough. Others suddenly start drinking much more than usual.

💧 Drinking more water can sometimes be linked to conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, hormonal disorders, infections, or pain.

💧 Not drinking enough can lead to dehydration, especially during warmer weather or when pets are unwell.

Knowing what's normal for your pet is one of the simplest ways to help keep them healthy.

We've put together a guide with practical tips to encourage healthy hydration, signs to watch for, and when it's time to seek veterinary advice.

🐾 Meet Peter! 🐾

Peter popped into Compton Road Vet for his heartworm injection and quickly made himself at home.

At just 8 months old, he's already tipping the scales at a whopping 41kg! Thankfully, he's just as big in personality as he is in size. Friendly, gentle and highly motivated by treats, Peter was a favourite with the team.

Heartworm prevention is one of the simplest ways to help protect dogs from a potentially serious disease, and Peter was a superstar for his visit. 💜

The question is... if he's 41kg at 8 months old, how big do you think Peter will be when he's fully grown? 🤔

💜🐾 Meet Opie 🐾💜

Opie popped in to see Dr Simon and as you can see, he was quite happy to be the centre of attention! 🥰

One of the things we love most about veterinary medicine is getting to know the personalities behind the paws. Whether they're confident, curious, cheeky or cuddly, every pet brings something special to our day.

Thank you, Opie, for brightening ours. We can't wait to see you again. 💜🧡
