This is Betty, and Betty says… please support our local animal charities! 🐾💚

At Tarka Vets, we sometimes need to signpost clients towards charities that can offer financial assistance when the cost of veterinary care becomes difficult to manage.

Time and time again, these organisations have been amazing. They provide hope, practical help and, in some cases, a lifeline for pets and their families when they need it most.

But these charities can only continue to help if they have the support and funding to keep going themselves. ❤️

We never know when we, or someone we care about, might need their help. They are there for our communities, our animals and the people who love them, but they need us to be there for them, too.

Whether it’s a small donation, fundraising, volunteering, sharing their appeals or supporting an event, every little bit can make a difference.

If you have a local charity you love, why not give them a shout-out in the comments and let others know how they can help?

Let’s look after the people and organisations who help us look after our pets. 🐶🐱💚

🎆🐾 Fireworks season is nearly here! 🐾🎆

Whilst we might enjoy the celebrations, fireworks, parties and visiting family can be stressful for our pets!

💜 As a proud Pet Remedy affiliate, we’re encouraging owners to start preparing now to help keep their pets calm and comfortable throughout party season.

🐾 Create a cosy, quiet space to retreat to.

🐾 Walk dogs before dark and keep cats indoors.

🐾 Close curtains and play music to muffle fireworks.

🐾 Give pets a break from busy family gatherings.

🌟 A big paws up to Golden Coast Holiday Park in Woolacombe for choosing a drone display instead of traditional fireworks! 👏💙

If your pet struggles with noise or anxiety, please get in touch. We’re always happy to help!

💙 The Tarka Vets Team 🐾

Look at this gorgeous birthday card! 🥹

Bert and Norman’s very talented owner hand-painted this special card for our 1st birthday, featuring the boys themselves in their party hats! 😍 We absolutely love it and it’s definitely one for the Tarka Vets keepsake box.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful gift 💙

You can see more of her lovely artwork over on Facebook at Kimmy B Art 🎨🐾

And of course, Bert and Norman had to pose with their masterpiece! 😂🥳

Next Tuesday marks a whole year since we opened the doors at Tarka Vets! 🥳🐾

Over the past year our team has grown alongside our lovely client base, and we’re so grateful for all the support we’ve received. 💙

To say thank you, we’re holding an open day on Sunday 11th October, 10am to 2pm. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re already part of the Tarka family, thinking about joining us, or another local independent business wanting to pop in and say hello!

There’ll be treats and refreshments for both humans and furry friends 🥂🐶🐱

We’ll also be doing a few practice tours at 11am, 12pm and 1pm for anyone who fancies a peek behind the scenes.

Pop along and celebrate our first birthday with us! 🎈💙

This gorgeous, fluffy chap came in to see us for a procedure a few days ago and he brought his best buddy, Bean, along for the day too! 🐰💕

If your rabbit needs to visit us for a routine check-up or procedure, we recommend bringing their bonded friend along too, whenever possible. Having their familiar companion by their side can be really comforting and beneficial, helping to:

🐰 Reduce stress before and after their procedure
🥬 Encourage both rabbits to keep eating
💕 Reduce the risk of their companion rejecting them when they return home

Bean and Olive both coped incredibly well during their day with us, and we were so happy to hear that Olive is now back to his happy, hoppy self! 🥰

We always love seeing those little rabbit friendships in action. 💕🐇
