Manors

October 2024

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate it! Enjoy yourselves but please be mindful of all the animals who are frightened by the loud bangs and flashes of light of the fireworks. Pets can develop a real phobia of fireworks during festivities and they desperately try to escape the noise and run away or injure themselves while trying to escape.

Please keep your beloved pets inside with the curtains drawn and with calming music playing in the background. Visit Manors vet for over-the-counter anxiety and stress or speak to Dr Anda for prescription medication. 

Important dates to remember: 

• 4 October - World Animal Day
• 9/12 October - Pet Obesity Awareness Day
• 10 October - Animal Road Accident Awareness Day
• 21 October - Reptile Awareness Day

Pet Obesity Awareness

Chubby cat? Roly poly dog? Pet obesity is no joke. Obesity in pets causes a multitude of health issues and affects your pet's quality of life. Get your pet checked out today.

26 AUGUST: HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY!

I've just returned from a trip to England and Scotland and one thing I noticed is that the UK is very accommodating towards dogs. I saw so many different breeds (mostly pure breeds) on trains, buses, cable cars, restaurants, pubs, parks, beaches and hotels. Most were on a leash but some elderly or more fragile (or lazy?) dogs were transported everywhere by pram or in backpacks/slings. Here in SA, we are discovering more and more places that are dog friendly so that you never need to leave your best friend at home while on holiday. Check out some of your local dog-friendly places online.
