A gentle reminder to all cat owners visiting the practice;
If your cat has an accident in their carrier on the journey to us, please don't worry or feel embarrassed we are always more than happy to help clean carriers, bedding, and your pet when needed.
Travelling can be stressful for cats, and sometimes accidents happen.

We'd also like to remind owners to double-check that carriers are secure before travelling, as frightened pets can sometimes escape unexpectedly.

Big welcome to Maggie, the newest member of our team! 🐾

She graduated last year and joined us towards the end of 2025. Already, she’s met lots of our clients and their animals—and judging by the tail wags and purrs, we think she’s a hit! 🐶🐈

Maggie loves the mix of companion and large animal work, so whether it’s a tiny hamster or a hefty cow, she’s ready for it all.

You will find Maggie at our Biggar branch 🐮🐑
