🐾 MEET THE TEAM MONDAY – INTRODUCING PAMELA! 🐾

This week, we’re getting to know Pamela, our Area Manager at Riverside Vets!

We asked Pamela a few questions to find out a little more about the person behind the role, and some of her answers certainly made us smile! 😂

🐶 Dog person, cat person or both?
Definitely a dog person! Pamela thinks cats are a little more independent.

🦒 If you could swap lives with any animal for 24 hours, what would you choose and why?
A giraffe, just to experience being tall for the day! Or perhaps a fish, to explore the ocean and find out what it’s like to breathe underwater. 🌊

🏝️ If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you take?
A guitar to learn to play, a good book and a blow-up lilo! Sounds like Pamela has her priorities sorted!

📺 What’s your guilty pleasure TV programme?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! We won’t judge, Pamela! 😂

🦦 If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?
An otter! We think that’s a pretty adorable choice!

What’s your favourite part of being the Area Manager at Riverside Vets?
It’s all about the people! Pamela loves working with the teams and meeting the different clients who come through our practices.

A big thank you to Pamela for taking part and letting us get to know her a little better!

Now we’re curious… would you choose to be a giraffe or a fish for the day? 🦒🐠

🐾 MEET THE TEAM MONDAY – SHIRLEY!

This Monday, we sat down with Shirley, one of our lovely receptionists at our Stirling practice, to find out a little more about the person behind the reception desk! 🐶🐱

From winning over nervous visitors to looking after some of our unexpected wildlife guests, Shirley certainly has a few stories to tell! 🥰

Here are a few of her answers…

What’s your go-to trick for winning over a nervous pet?

Treats, of course! They might not want them before going in to see the vet, but they usually do when they’re coming out! 😂 I’m well known for being very generous with treats and costing the practice a fortune! 🦴

What’s one thing about working at Riverside that might surprise people?

The amount of wildlife that gets brought in, especially to our Stirling branch. Wildlife is treated with just as much care as our clients’ pets. Our vets do everything they can to treat them and give them a chance where possible. And I’m the lucky one who sometimes gets to take them home to rehabilitate! 🦔🦉

If you could introduce a new rule at Riverside Vets for one day, what would it be?

All our lovely clients could pop in for a chat and their pets could come in for endless treats without having to see the vet! No offence to our lovely vets! 🤣

If the animals at Riverside could leave you a review, what do you think they would say?

“We pretend we like her so we get more treats! She talks too much and we just want to get out of the door!” 😂😂

A huge thank you to Shirley for being such a lovely part of our Stirling team. Whether she’s welcoming clients, handing out treats or helping our wildlife visitors, she’s always ready with a smile!

Now it’s your turn! If you’ve visited our Stirling practice, have you been lucky enough to meet Shirley? And more importantly… has your pet managed to get a treat from her? 👀🐾

What a busy week we’ve had across both our Callander and Stirling practices! 🐶🐱

We’ve been looking after lots of lovely patients, with everything from routine health checks and first and second vaccinations, to surgeries and nail clips with our wonderful nursing team.

It’s been a week full of wagging tails, curious noses, cuddles and, of course, plenty of treats! 🦴

A huge thank you to all our lovely clients for choosing Riverside Vets and trusting us with your four-legged family members.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend, and we’ll see you next week!
