It's Mental Health Awarness Week....

I have been working as a Veterinary Nurse for 23 years and also spent nearly a decade as a Police Officer. In both careers I have supported people who have lost loved ones by su***de.
A couple of years ago, someone I knew well took their own life. Needless to say I was devastated. I started to question the conversations I had had with them, did I do enough, say enough ?
I came to realise that I had spoken to them a lot in the weeks leading up to that day. That was the point. Talking to people is the one thing you can do. Reach out, have a conversation, ask them how they are. Ask them if they are having thoughts of su***de. It won’t make it worse and it could in fact save their life. After you have read this, take the time and say hello to someone you care about. Ask them, “How are you doing”
Thankyou.

ITS BACK! Strutt Your Mutt Charity Dog Walks at Benacre
BOOK online or purchase from the Wagford Vets Reception

We are excited to announce the return of our much loved Strutt Your Mutt Charity Dog Walk at Benacre on Sunday 7th June 2026 From 9am. This is your chance to enjoy a unique, stunningly beautiful walk through areas of Benacre Estate that are normally closed to the public - a real treat for dog lovers and nature lovers alike. There is a choice of taking either the 2.5 or 6.5 mile route.
Organised by Wangford Veterinary Clinic, this year’s event proudly supports Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, who will be joining us on the day.
Tickets are limited and can be pre booked online: https://struttyourmutt.co.uk/BuyYourTickets £5 per person. If you are unable to access them online you can also purchase them from the Wangford Veterinary Clinic reception.
This year we are returning to what matters most: the walk itself. By stepping away from the large dog show and trade stands, we’re able to protect the local environment, manage capacity comfortably, and maximise our donation to this fantastic charity.
Join us at Woodfarm Barns, Benacre, NR34 7BL (just off the A12) Rosettes for every dog at the finish. Special prizes for walkers who raise £25 or £50+ in sponsorship (not compulsory)
For anyone who is unable to attend but would like to help raise funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People we have a justgiving page where they can donate or share on their own social media. They need to go to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/struttyourmutt2026

What a day! On Sunday, some of the Wangford Vets team (plus our four legged companions) set off from Walberswick Green for a 7.5 mile walk in support of Cancer Research UK.

Mary and Mai’s arrow trail kept us on track, the sunshine stayed with us, and the laughter never stopped. Thanks to the kindness of our sponsors, we raised £429.00. We’re incredibly grateful for all your support.
You can still give a donation by going to https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/wangford-vets-walking-for-cancer-research-uk-2026
