🐾 Client Notice 🐾

16/01/2026

This week, the BBC released an episode of Panorama titled ‘Why Are Vet Bills So High?’, which sought to scrutinise the veterinary industry in order to identify reasons for increases in veterinary fees in recent years.

BVNA Senior Vice President Lyndsay Hughes commented: “The veterinary profession is made up of highly skilled, caring and compassionate individuals – whether working in corporately or independently owned practices.

"We were greatly disappointed that representation of registered veterinary nurses (RVNs) was completely omitted from the broadcast. RVNs are also highly skilled and regulated professionals, pivotal to the delivery of excellent standards of care – both to the patient, and to veterinary clients themselves. It is our view that this lack of acknowledgement of RVNs undermines the realities of veterinary practice, and the level of service and contextualised care that clients can expect.

“It is also important to remember that individual veterinary professionals encountered by clients are usually not those who are responsible for setting pricing. Abuse has no place in veterinary practice under any circumstances, and BVNA does not condone abuse of the veterinary team in any form, whether in-person or online.

“Above all, the veterinary profession is one that cares – for veterinary clients as much as patients.”

** Client Update **
As of this week I have been lucky enough to go fulltime with my position as Veterinary Education Administrator. This Role has been something I am loving and it will help provide & secure the best future for my daughter. I am the happiest I have been in a longtime so when more hours were offered i could not refuse.
Going forward I will no longer be offering appointments Monday - Friday during normal working hours. I will Primarily be offering appointments on Saturdays & Sundays (I will if needed provide some evening appointments)

PetnurseUK has and will continue to be an important part of my life and although things are changing a little I am not going anywhere.

I want to Thank you all for your continued support as i would not be able to continue on this journey without it, it allows me to be the Mum, Veterinary Nurse and friend that i love being.

Thankyou
Kayley ###

We are aware of a few videos circulating social media at the moment regarding ibuprofen ingestion in dogs.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used in people for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with aches and pains, headache, cramps and for the relief of mild fever.

Ibuprofen is a very widely available over-the-counter painkiller. Although well tolerated in people, dogs are very sensitive to ibuprofen and ingestion of even a relatively low dose can cause adverse effects on the gut and the kidneys. A very large overdose can even cause very rapid onset features including convulsions.

☎️Owners can call Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 if they are concerned about their pet.

We do not recommend the administration of any human medications without prior consultation with your veterinary surgeon.
