Avian influenza has affected wild birds and poultry for many years, but in 2025 the first confirmed infection in kittens was reported in the Netherlands. This raises many questions for pet owners: can my dog or cat get bird flu too? How dangerous is it? And what should I do if my animal comes into contact with a dead bird? In this blog we explain what is known so far, how the recent cases in the Netherlands unfolded and how you can best protect your pets.
Dental problems in dogs and cats are more common than people think. Despite the fact that about 98% of vets recommend dog owners to clean their teeth, only about 2% actually apply this advice. In addition, research has shown that 80% of dogs older than three years have dental problems, while only 23% of dog owners indicate that their four-legged friend has a dental problem. To raise national awareness for this problem, February has been declared National Pet Dental Health Month.
Did someone tell you that their pet has an allergy? Did your veterinarian suggest that your pet might be having problems due to allergies? Or do you suspect that your cat or dog has an allergy? Food allergies seem to have gotten more common in the past decade and every pet owner seems to have a pet with an allergy. The reason for this increase can partly be blamed on overlapping symptoms, which makes it quite difficult to give your pet the right diagnosis. In fact, scientific research has concluded that only 1 out of 100 skin conditions in dogs and cats can be traced back to a food allergy. As the symptoms and reactions can be quite confusing, it is important to understand what type of reaction your pet has to its food.
