Friendly advice regarding #pet #insurance , specially in the #UK : people do not seem to understand that if you swap insurance company, everything you had before becomes a pre-existing condition. Your new insurance will not cover anything related to that.
Also, a pre existing condition starts from the notice of symptoms, not diagnosis.
Save yourself some grief by reading what you insurance wording is.
Corporate greed knows no bounds.
I have been a slave to the #UK #Veterinary Corporation's myself.
I have to ask the public to not take the pricing problems out on your vet, but on the CEO of the corporates they belong to.
The local worker has no control over pricing or policy.
Better yet, if you really love your #pet #cat #dog #rabbit , look for independent practices around your area. These will give you much more personalized care.
Leptospirosis vaccination in the UK is often a contentious topic.
It is very difficult to parse the data to figure out if widespread vaccination is the reason diagnosis is so low, or if the disease itself is uncommon.
The most recent study does seem to suggest that income of the area the dog lives in has a major effect, and this would support a link to better healthcare and generally better vaccination status.

A good enzymatic toothpaste is key.
Fun fact: owls eyes are so big that they don't have muscles to move them. They wouldn't fit inside the orbit.
This is why they evolved to rotate their heads 270 degrees.
In this space a lot of people are gonna be into feeding their pets #raw
The veterinary profession in general can seem quite hostile to the idea, and that is the wrong way to go about it.
It can be done right for sure, but it's a lot of responsibility for the owner, and the claimed benefits are dubious.
Also not suitable for animals with sensitive guts (IBS) or atopy.
