Today is #worldanimalday and to celebrate we wanted to raise awareness of the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare. All animals have the right to:

• A suitable place to live
• A healthy diet
• The ability to behave normally
• The company he or she needs
• To stay healthy

Animals have a similar pain threshold to us humans and are vulnerable to a range of infectious diseases and other illnesses. Animals show pain and suffering in different ways, so it’s important that an owner educates themselves on the type of animal they have so that they are able to understand their needs fully. The RSPCA has put together some information about how to take care the health and welfare of your cat – take a look. And how to take care of the health and welfare of your dog. Visit the RSPCA website to find out more information about lots of other pets, and how you can make sure that their needs are met. As a veterinary practice we are not only here to help owners with their pet’s medical needs.  We can advise on all aspects of pet care and welfare.  If you need support and advice, contact the client care team on PetsApp or call 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352 #rowanvets #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #photooftheday #instagood #nofilter #picoftheday #love #healthypets #goldstandardpetcare #pethealthplan
