Life can get hectic, and when our pets become unwell, the stress can feel overwhelming. That’s precisely what happened to Judy Graham, a
busy mum, carer, and devoted pet owner, when her two-year-old spaniel Snoopy started coughing.
To make matters worse, Jack the cat – affectionately nicknamed “The Ripper” – had fleas that Judy couldn’t manage to treat. With a new baby due to visit the house and her elderly mum depending on daily visits from Snoopy, Judy suddenly found herself under immense pressure.
When too much lands at once
Snoopy’s coughing quickly became a concern. After examining him, I explained that chest X-rays were needed. Judy’s immediate worry was how she would manage it – she didn’t drive, and Judy’s budget was already stretched.
Thankfully, Snoopy was insured. At Paws Indoors, we reassured Judy that we could collect Snoopy for his X-rays, help her with the insurance paperwork, and safely deliver him back home afterwards. On top of that, we promised to help with Jack’s flea problem. (Our top tip: lure a reluctant cat into the bathroom with Dreamies or fish – fewer hiding places make the job easier!)
The diagnosis – and why it matters
Snoopy’s X-rays revealed lungworm, a serious condition often affecting young dogs who nibble grass or eat snails carrying the parasite. While lungworm doesn’t affect people, many other parasites can be particularly dangerous for babies, the elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
With treatment and regular check-ups, Snoopy was soon on the mend. Meanwhile, after a short bathroom stand-off, Jack had his flea and worm treatment applied and was back to his usual antics.
Why parasite protection matters for every household
During a well-earned cup of tea with Judy, we talked through what to do next. Snoopy and the home would both need treating for fleas, and with the season just starting, keeping on top of parasite control was essential. With a new baby soon to be visiting regularly, regular worming was equally important.
That’s when I suggested the easiest and most cost-effective way to approach this was with a pet health plan.
What is a Pet Health Plan?
A pet health plan is an affordable, stress-free way to keep pets healthy. Here’s how ours works:
Convenient home delivery – flea and worming products arrive straight at your door, saving you time and hassle.
Never forget again – no more missed treatments, just consistent protection.
Save money – spread the cost monthly and enjoy discounted products, making pet health care more affordable.
Extra support – for pets like Jack, our consultation-included plan means one of our nurses can visit every three months to apply the treatments for you.
For Judy, our pet health plan was a lifesaver. Snoopy’s treatments were taken care of, Jack’s flea troubles were under control, and the whole household could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
