The importance of
looking after your
pet’s teeth & gums
GUM disease is not only a condition that affects humans
and with large numbers of both dogs and cats developing
gum disease by the age of three years, preventative dental
care has never been more important. Not only can your
animal be in a considerable amount of pain in its mouth,
but bad teeth also have a direct relationship with other
medical conditions including kidney and heart problems
which can lead to more serious health conditions. In sim-
ple terms, gum disease involves complex bacterial infec-
tions. These bacteria can become free in the bloodstream
and travel from the mouth to distant organs, potentially
creating serious disease at such sites.
Periodontal disease is the most common dental condi-
tion affecting dogs and cats. This is where the gums
become infected and inflamed and is caused by bacteria
present in plaque and calculus (tartar). The problem
begins when plaque and calculus are allowed to build up
on a pet’s teeth, especially below the gumline. Some of
the symptoms that your pet may experience include: bad
breath, bleeding and inflammation of the gums, receding
gums and loosening of teeth. Your pet may also have
difficulty eating its food and may continually “paw” at
its mouth.
Preventative treatment to keep the teeth clean is
therefore of great importance. As a vet, I would strongly
recommend an oral hygiene programme that includes
regularly brushing your pets’ teeth with a toothpaste
formulated for animals (never use a toothpaste made for
humans). Diet is also a major factor in the development
of plaque and calculus. Soft or sticky foods should there-
fore be avoided, while certain chewing toys are beneficial.
Our own pet food range “It’s the Vet’s Pet Food” provides
a complete diet to help keep your animals healthy. There

are also specially formulated diets with dental benefits
available for dogs – please speak to one of our staff for
further details.
Like most preventative treatments, it is best to start
dental care at an early age. Introduce brushing gradually
and begin by rubbing your pet’s teeth and gums with a
soft cloth wrapped around a finger. Gradually switch over
to a toothbrush designed for pets or to a very soft human
toothbrush. Try to make this a pleasant experience for
your pet and always praise and reward your pet for its
cooperation.
Regular dental check-up visits to your vet are strongly
recommended. Hardened tartar should only be removed
by your vet, as this requires the use of special instru-
ments and equipment. Routine periodontal treatment
performed by a veterinarian typically includes ultrasonic
scaling, subgingival scaling, and polishing. All dental
procedures in pets, including scaling and polishing, are
performed under general anaesthesia, however the current
state-of-the-art of veterinary anaesthesia is such, that this
poses minimal risk in most cases. The adverse effects of
bad teeth on the overall health of the animal also greatly
outweigh the anaesthetic risk.
To keep your pet’s mouth healthy, we have some great
dental offers throughout September to make you smile.

ment.

NESTON TOWN COUNCIL

AT the third meeting of the town council a wide variety of issues were up for
discussion.
At the open forum Carrie Spacey said that the Christmas Festival needed to be
organised soon. Pat hughes said that prompt action would be a way of helping local
businesses, which faced a year of disruption while the new supermarket and town
square were built.
The Town Council had submitted to the Boundary Committee a proposal for four
single-member wards: Neston, Little Neston, Parkgate, and riverside with Ness.
The council has decided to appoint a Town Clerk. Already 38 people had asked for
details of the paid position. Applications
were due by 11th September, with a
final decision due on 24th September.
Jerry harris, webmaster of www.
neston.org.uk said that the website
would disappear in March 2010 unless
action is taken by the council. The
council agreed that www.neston.org.uk
was a good site, came top in Google,
and was better than websites set up
by other local councils. A working party
has been set up to look at the options.
The Council are waiting for information
from Cheshire West and Chester
Council about Section 106 money
which comes from Sainsbury’s to be
spent in Neston Town Centre.
A planning application from
Sainsbury’s for internally lit signs on
their new supermarket was passed to
the Planning Committee, who were
asked to meet soon.
The next meeting is 15th September at
6.30pm in Ness Gardens.

the Italian Rooms. With
contemporary flashes in
the tableware and now
named The Lawns, it
boasts stunning views
of the hall’s gardens and
can comfortably seat
approximately 50 people.
New head chef Gordon
Campbell is already
putting his own stamp on
the menu and comes to
Thornton Hall with a big
reputation. It is clear that
there is great enthusiasm
amongst the staff as they
embark on an exciting
period of change and
there is no doubt that the
restaurant is heading in
the right direction.
The restaurant’s midweek
lunch offers a variety of
well constructed dishes,
using stunningly fresh
seasonal ingredients
sourced locally. Starters
include seared red
mullet and pressed
terrine of ham hock with
COMMUNITY
piccalilli. The seared
red mullet in particular
was cooked perfectly
and was balanced with
a zingy basil pesto.
22 Highly recommended for
the main course is the
exquisite grilled salmon
What is the best remedy for water on the brain? A tap on the head
with sautéed potato and
wilted spinach, but our
favourite was definitely
the pea and spring
onion risotto which was
deliciously creamy. The
peas, in particular, were
bursting with freshness as
if they had been picked
that very morning and
cut through the creamy
risotto, creating a perfectly
balanced dish.
Restaurant manager
Olivier Gamory served
two wines, a delightful
Chardonnay which
perfectly complemented
the freshness of the
salmon and a red Pinot
Noir which went well with
the ham hock terrine.
Olivier explained that
the Paul Jacqueson
label, which is from
the Bourgogne area, is
not easy to find in his
native France so it is a
considerable coup for the
restaurant to secure such
an exclusive brand.
Thornton Hall have
already earned two AA
rosettes and the aim is
to add another this year.
Olivier explained that their
exciting menu is constantly
evolving according to
the seasons, so that the
vegetables and meats fit
in perfectly with the time
of year.
Remarkably, such a
fantastic dining experience
does not cost the earth.
The midweek lunch menu
offers two courses for
£13.95 and three courses
for just £15.95. The three
course Sunday lunch
offers a greater range
of dishes and costs just
£18.45. Even better, from
1st October the restaurant
will offer a three course
Sunday lunch dinner menu
with a bottle of wine for
£39 per couple.
Highly recommended.

 LATE SUMMER IN YOUR GARDEN
Gardening by Janet Heath

SEPTEMBEr often provides a blaze of colour before autumn takes hold so if you like bright, bold
colours there is a wide range of flowers to choose from.
Shrubs such as hibiscus syriacus also known as the tree hollyhock because of the shape of their
flowers, are hardy shrubs with flowers in white, pink and blue. They flower for weeks in autumn.
Perovskia Blue Spire is a small shrub with branches of tiny electric blue flowers. It likes a well-
drained soil in sun and provides colour well into autumn.
Bright, bold colours for a damp soil why not try rudbekia fulgida Goldsturm in yellow and
pair it with Lobelia cardinalis with its purple leaved foliage and red flowers. Heleniums come in
a range of red, yellow, orange and russet colours, are good for the back of a border and give
colour for a few weeks especially if dead-headed. Japanese anemones are great ground cover
with tall or shorter flowering stems in white or pink. They also flower for weeks, well into autumn.
Some delphiniums will flower again in September if their first flush of flowers were removed after
flowering.
You can dig up and split perennials in autumn and as the soil is still warm they should settle in
well before winter. Try to remember to plant daffodils in September (tulips can wait until october)
for flowering next year.
Lawn repairs can be carried out in September. If you have bare patches in the lawn or want to
sow a new lawn, September is a good time for sowing grass seed or laying turf. Scarify to remove
moss and apply a weed killer to control those tough perennial weeds.
Hedges can have their final trim of the year to leave them neat and tidy over winter.
Autumn ripening raspberries such as Autumn Bliss and blackberries will now be in season and
taste wonderful. Some early season apples will be ripening so if you want to grow your own
dessert apples, consider Egremont russet, Fiesta, Katy or Greensleeves. They will be ready to
eat in September but will not keep for very long, so just pick them from the tree!

Oarsmen set for Atlantic challenge

PARKGATE man Neil Gyllenship and his colleague Dean Jagger will set off on the
voyage of a lifetime to raise money for Claire House Children’s Hospice.
Their 3,000 mile rowing expedition, as competitors in the Woodvale Challenge, will
start from Tenerife and end, approximately 60 days later, in Antigua, where their
families will be waiting to welcome them back onto dry land.
Neil’s son, James, is a Year 1 pupil at Parkgate Primary School, and it was with
great excitement that pupils at the school were treated to a presentation by Neil and
Dean. They brought with them a boat similar to the one they will be manning on their
voyage.
Their own, two-hander boat is currently being built especially for them, thanks to
generous sponsorship by Manchester Airport, where both Neil and Dean work in the
Fire Service. The boat they brought with them to Parkgate will also be taking part in
the race, but will be manned by “Row For Girls,” a four-woman team.
The entire school listened to a fascinating presentation in the School Hall, finding
out all about the challenges the team will face on their journey, including weather
conditions, living on tight rations, sleep deprivation and the sheer hard slog of rowing
for hours every day and night.
COMMUNITY

The boat will be equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS), allowing them
to plot their course, along with a satellite phone that they will use to speak to their
families, but just once a week due to the prohibitively high cost of making calls
(approximately £30 per minute).
Neil and Dean are hoping to raise £100,000 for Claire House by taking part in
the challenge. If you would like to sponsor their incredible effort, please visit their 27

Q. I buy loads of expensive skin care products

but never get the results that I expect. What can I
do?
A. Skin care products will only give the
promised results when they are used on the
type of skin that they have been formulated
for. This is why an in-depth skin care
consultation and analysis of your skin by a
trained therapist is so important to ensure that
you get the right products for your skin. Quite
often people buy far too many products when
just a few of the correct products will do a far
better job, sometimes less is more!
Also, you need to know how to use your
products. Your therapist should give you expert
instruction on the application and removal of your
skin care products so that you are completely
familiar with what you are supposed to do with them
before you take them home. This also helps you to
