Emotional wellbeing is equally as important as physical health in our pets. Did you know up to 80% of cats and dogs experience a behavioural condition in their lifetime due to stress or anxiety.

Royal Canin have released a new product to support these episodes.  CALM dry food is a complete diet for dogs and cats formulated for the support in stressful situations which will lead to the reduction of associated behaviours.  Initially feed for up to 2 months, then seek Veterinary advice before using for an extended period. CALM diet food is formulated to help support emotional regulation, digestion, urinary and skin health, which may be compromised in stressed pets.

New environments can be stressful and cause anxiety for cats, potentially resulting in a less than friendly attitude.

 We protect our cats in many ways.  We feed them, make sure they have a safe home and give them lots of love and affection. 

But are you protecting your cat from parasites that can cause harm and discomfort and also spread disease?  Some of these diseases can be spread to other members of the family, including young children.

Whether your cat thinks they are king or queen of the house or neighbourhood, they are still at risk from harmful parasites.  Cats share the same outdoor environment as dogs and are exposed to the same level of risk.  Parasites can also make their way inside our homes on clothes, shoes, via open windows or doors and on other animals; even indoor cats need protecting. 

Revolution has been used by cat owners for over 20 years, now there is an updated Revolution Plus for cats.  The new formula is still a monthly, topical application but covers a broader range of parasites.  This includes paralysis ticks, 3 stages of the flea lifecycle, lice, ear mites, round, hook and heartworm. 

It is a low volume pipette applicator which minimises the disruption to cats, it is quick drying with no oily residue left on you or the cat, and a bonus of also treating large breed and heavier cats over 7.5kg. 

Revolution Plus protects cats on the inside and outside from harmful parasites, is quick drying and will not rub off.
