'One of our rescue centres currently has five dogs in its care, all with callously cropped ears and various related health & behaviour problems as a result.'

On #WorldSpayDay, we'd like to highlight that the benefits of neutering cats and dogs outweigh any associated welfare risks. Neutering helps prevent the birth of unwanted litters of kittens and puppies and the perpetuation of genetic defects

โ ๏ธ Weโre urging all pet owners to take extra care during the warmer weather ๐ Cars, caravans and conservatories can all heat up very quickly - flat-faced dogs in particular (pugs, bulldogs, frenchies) find it hard to regulate their body temperature ๐ถ #LockdownPetcare
*RT please* As temperatures spike across the country, we'd like to remind pet owners that #DogsDieInHotCars. Please spread the word about not leaving a dog in a car in warm weather, as 'not long' can prove too long for our furry friends #petadvice https://t.co/7tU7sxxJM1
It is still not business as usual for vets. Over the coming days, we'll be developing further advice to help #teamvet interpret the new @10DowningStreet guidance for their own workplaces https://t.co/8xWj83wX7D
Vet nurses play an integral and varied role in a veterinary team- from healthcare advisers and animal welfare ambassadors, to first-line care providers to hospitalised patients. We're proud to support #VNAM2020! @bvnauk#whatVNsdo https://t.co/UzbzkvpA71
May - Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month. From outset I valued being part of team of vets & nurses working together for our animals. Wouldnโt have got very far as a vet without support & contribution of RVNs. Proud to have been Vice-Chair @theRCVS VN Council. Hurray for RVNs!!
A 'pandemic puppy' or a 'quarantine kitten' may offer much-needed company in this challenging time, but we're urging prospective pet owners to think carefully before adding a new pet to their family during the #COVID19 lockdown ๐ https://t.co/4OAEqbaaKS https://t.co/PQxzAfzMIJ
#Blog Vets have reported an increase in requests for new puppy and kitten registrations and primary vaccinations since the #COVID19 lockdown began. Our President @VetDannii emphasises why now is not the right time to get a new pet on impulse #petadvice https://t.co/HMnWqlwjwk
As we unite to #ClapForKeyWorkers tonight, a reminder not to show your support with #fireworks or sky lanterns. At up to 150 decibels, fireworks can be as loud as a jet engine and often cause severe distress and devastating injuries in pets, livestock & wildlife #ClapForOurCarers
BA female pilots have taken inspiration from the Don't Rush Challenge to thank the NHS and Key workers. They are hoping to raise funds for the "Big Night In," please visit the link in order to donate https://t.co/nxL1KjYlte #BApilotsthankyou#DontRushChallenge@British_Airways
On #WorldVetDay, the @DefraGovUK Sec of State has thanked all vet practices who have helped to provide critical vet equipment to @NHSuk in the fight against #coronavirus & all vets & vet nurses for their ongoing work in tackling the specific challenges that the pandemic is posing
With #COVID19 social distancing measures in place, vets are risk-assessing each case to decide whether certain vaccinations are essential at this time. Please respect your vets' decision if they say they aren't essential right now #WorldVaccinationDay https://t.co/VXnZIg5RE8
Vets are playing their part in reducing the spread of #COVID19. This means that they're assessing & prioritising treatments on a case-by-case basis, but we're hearing reports of undue pressure and even abuse from clients. Please #RespectYourVet's decision https://t.co/V74GvIK7eA
.@BritishVets has appealed to #petowners to respect their vet teams during the COVID-19 pandemic following reports of โabuse and undue pressureโ from clients.

Veterinary teams are continuing to provide essential care for animals during the #COVID19 lockdown. But it's not business as usual- please be patient & #RespectYourVet's decision as they work hard to balance animal welfare & public health #ThankYouThursday https://t.co/oE2wrEj6CB
