Looking after your pet can be expensive and if you were blessed with  furry friend over the holidays, it's important to make sure they're looked after.

We have two local vets in Corsham where you can register your pet and find out about more information on keeping your pet safe: Hale Vetinary Group and Walters and McFayden.

 Microchipping is recommended as if a pet is lost or found straying the street, a passerby taking it into the vets can have it scanned and the owner can be traced immediately.

It is important that your pet has been properly wormed and if you have a new cat or a dog, take it to the vets for a check-up. I know from experience that it is essential to check for worms, even the individual you bought your new furry friend from said they had wormed it already: it's better to be safe than sorry, for your animal's sake and also for your carpets.

For any pet supplies or treats, Corsham Pet Aquatic Supplies has most of what you need to keep your pet well fed and entertained with a vast array of toys.

The best dog grooming service in Corsham is that of Annie's Dogs. They are patient, kind, love dogs and their prices are reasonable. IloveCorsham reviewed Annie's Dogs in our directory:  "Annie and her staff obviously love dogs, they are kind and know just how to treat nervous dogs. Everyone is always cheerful and welcoming and I feel nothing but confident leaving my 'angels' with them!" She added that her pets, "Come out looking like Crufts winning certainties."
