The best distraction technique? Happy Snacks😂

Need to keep a kitten occupied for approximately 0.5 seconds? Enter the Feliway Happy Snack😋

Safe to say this little one was VERY happy with their treats… and suddenly far too busy licking to care what the humans were up to!

Sometimes the best distraction techniques are also the tastiest 💕

10/10 concentration. 10/10 cuteness. Would snack again.

🐾 🌿 Everyone meet Nettle 🌿🐾

This gorgeous little Cocker Spaniel puppy recently came to see us and as you can probably imagine, she had the whole team completely smitten. Just look at that little face🥹

Those first few trips to the vets are so important for puppies. We want them to learn from the very beginning that coming to see us means treats, cuddles, gentle handling and lots of positive attention. Building those happy associations while they’re young can make such a difference to how they feel about veterinary visits as they grow up🐶

We can’t wait to watch this little one grow! Welcome to the Griffiths Veterinary Centre family, Nettle💚

💙 We’re so proud of Maverick! 💙

This handsome Labrador has come such a long way and we couldn’t be happier for him and his family!

At his previous veterinary practice, Maverick needed up to four different types of calming medication just to make it through the front door. Vet visits were understandably a very stressful experience for him and his owner.

Since joining us at Griffiths Veterinary Centre, we’ve been taking things at Maverick’s pace with regular socialisation visits, lots of treats, patience and positive experiences. Combined with our dedicated dog waiting room, dog consult room and calm, fear-free approach, the difference has been incredible!

Now, Maverick walks straight through the door with a wagging tail, excited to see the team!🐾

At his recent appointment with Dr Jourdan, he was an absolute superstar, happily allowing his vaccinations to be given with ease - something that had never been possible before. Watching his confidence grow has been so rewarding and it’s exactly why we believe every pet deserves the time and understanding they need.

Well done, Maverick. You are such a brave boy and we all adore you! ❤️

If your dog gets anxious about visiting the vets, please don’t struggle in silence. We’d be more than happy to chat about how our socialisation visits and fear-free approach can help make appointments a much more positive experience for both you and your pet.

🦷 A fresh smile for brave Mojo! 🦷

When lovely Mojo, a gorgeous Sprocker Spaniel, came to see Dr Jourdan, her owner had noticed she was suffering with bad breath and that some of her teeth had become loose.

Following a full dental assessment under anaesthetic, it became clear that several teeth were beyond saving due to periodontal disease. In total, 7 teeth were carefully extracted to remove the source of discomfort.

Dogs are incredibly good at hiding dental discomfort, so signs like bad breath, loose teeth, difficulty chewing or favouring one side of the mouth should never be ignored! Often, once painful teeth are removed, owners tell us their pets seem happier, brighter and more like themselves again🥰

Mojo was an absolute superstar throughout her procedure and we’re so pleased to say she’s recovering brilliantly and feeling much more comfortable already💚

If you’ve noticed your pet has bad breath, tartar build-up or changes in the way they eat, don’t just put it down to “old age.” It could be a sign of painful dental disease and we’re always happy to assess their teeth and discuss the best options with you!

We’ve had so many gorgeous little kittens through our doors recently and while it’s easy to get distracted by all the cuteness, there’s one thing we always like to chat to new owners about… pet insurance🐾

Nobody likes to think about their new pet becoming poorly or getting into mischief, but kittens (and puppies!) are curious by nature and accidents can happen when you least expect them! Having a suitable insurance policy in place early means you’re covered before any unexpected problems arise, giving you one less thing to worry about if they ever need treatment.

It’s always worth taking a bit of time to compare policies and choose one that will still meet your pets needs as they get older. Please feel free to contact us with any insurance questions - we would be more than happy to help!

In the meantime, enjoy a few of the adorable little faces we’ve been lucky enough to meet recently. Some of the little faces in these photos are also from our friends at Hector's House Cat Rescue who do an incredible job caring for abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens before finding them loving forever homes❤️

🐾 Meet Lenny! 🐾

Isn’t he just gorgeous?💙 Little Lenny, the chocolate Cocker Spaniel, came in to see us for his very first vaccinations. After plenty of cuddles, he was as brave as could be and left with lots of fuss from the team🥰

Lenny’s family also signed up to our Health Care Plan, helping to spread the cost of his preventative healthcare while making sure he stays protected as he grows!

Our Health Care Plan includes:
🐶 Annual booster vaccination and health check
🐶 Year-round flea, tick and worm treatment tailored to your pet
🐶 An additional vet health check approximately six months after their annual vaccination
🐶 Two nurse health checks each year
🐶 Discounted microchipping
🐶 Helpful reminders so you never miss an important treatment

It’s designed to make keeping your pet healthy simple, convenient and more affordable, giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the preventative care they need throughout the year.

We can’t wait to watch you grow, Lenny❤️

If you’d like to find out more about our Health Care Plan or register your pet with Griffiths Veterinary Centre, give our friendly team a call - we’d love to welcome you!

Practice Closure – Monday 27th July

Please note that Griffiths Veterinary Centre will be closed on Monday 27th July.

During this time, a local veterinary practice in Heathfield will kindly be providing emergency veterinary care on our behalf. If your pet requires urgent attention, please call our usual number 01364 697667, where you’ll be given information on how to access emergency care.

For non-urgent enquiries, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible when we return.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our team takes this time following the very sad loss of Roger Griffiths, the father of our practice owner, Daniel. Roger was a truly wonderful man who was incredibly supportive of the practice from the very beginning and was very close to our team. He would always come in every week with the biggest smile on his face for a coffee and lunch date with the team. He will be greatly missed by everyone at Griffiths Veterinary Centre.

Thank you for your kindness, understanding and support during this difficult time.

The Griffiths Veterinary Centre Team 💙
