⚠️ Contagious cough (also known as Kennel cough) is widespread, distressing and highly contagious ⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated dogs, caught from anywhere other dogs explore; the park, daycare, training classes, shared water bowls outside shops...

Yearly vaccination throughout life is the best way to protect your dog and reduce the spread. Check with your vet today if your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

Don’t delay! Book your dog in for their vaccination by visiting our website.

Today we had the pleasure of meeting these four day old Guinea Pigs 🐹. I think you’ll all agree they are adorable.

Fun fact: When happy or excited, guinea pigs will perform a joyful jumping motion known as "popcorning" ❤️

Sadly, we have had a deceased cat handed into the practice.

He was found on the Alcester Road South opposite Dominos pizza. He is a long haired, tabby and white cat.

Unfortunately, he isn’t microchipped so we are unable to contact an owner.

Please call the practice on 01214444388 if you have or require any information.

Dear all clients,
Last week we had 34 appointments that were not attended. This is 34 appointments that we could have offered to other pets in need. Whilst we recognise that sometimes appointments are missed due to unavoidable reasons, it reduces our capacity to see every pet who needs to be seen.
Can we therefore ask for your help in reducing this; if you are unable to attend an appointment, if you can let us know as soon as possible, we can then offer your appointment to other pets.
We appreciate everyone's help with this.
Many thanks,
White Cross Vets

Pet Health Check – only £24.99!* 🩺

The festivities may be over, but your furry friends might still feel the effects! From gobbling goodies, to the excitement of visitors, the holiday season can take its toll.

💡Your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong, but we can:
☑️ Weight and body: That extra snacking, chilly weather and salty pavements can all add up!
☑️ Behaviour changes: The stress of changes in routine and noisy celebrations can affect your pet’s well-being.
☑️ Joints and mobility: Cold weather can affect mobility by making your pet’s joints stiff and painful.

Our expert veterinary nurses can spot and address any potential concerns early to ensure your pet starts the New Year healthy and happy! 🥳
