Carnforth Pet Care - Veterinary Centre

We are a vet practice which provides quality, compassionate care for your pets. We are situated on Greenlands Farm just North of Carnforth in Lancashire.

Carnforth Pet Care is a unique veterinary practice combining the best of modern technology with the greatest of care and compassion. We have created a friendly and informal environment in an ideal location with ample parking. We pride ourselves in providing the highest standards of care for your pet in a professional but welcoming practice.

We are committed to providing top quality care, modern

facilities and a friendly service at an affordable price. If you have concerns about the cost of your pet's treatment we can discuss other options that may be cheaper. We have extensive knowledge and experience of a range of species. We have special equipment for our smaller furry friends such as guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits. We are well equipped to deal with a range of more technical surgeries that other practices would need to refer to specialist vets for. If your pet does need to be admitted to hospital, our staff are on the premises all night so we can be by their side when they need us most. Come and meet our friendly team - our doors are always open if you just want to come and say hi!

How to avoid fur balls and cat vomit :)
Just taking this opportunity to share with you a little tip on how to keep your hairy cats healthy and your sanity this summer.
My bengal cat Totty was very happy to be my feline model.
Cats shed their fur all year round but this recent patch of hot weather has led to a heavier shed.
If I don't remove the fur regularly (every other day to weekly) the excess hair is consumed during grooming and inevitably gets vomited up on the carpet.
Occasionally, giant fur balls can get stuck in the stomach or intestinal tract and can require surgical removal - symptoms include persistent vomiting, anorexia, lethargy.

Friday is for Fluid Therapy 💧
Many of our inpatients need extra fluid given while hospitalised to correct blood pressure or resolve dehydration. This involves giving a balanced electrolyte solution directly into the vein of an animal and is especially helpful in cases of vomiting/diarrhoea. Fluids can also be useful before, during and after procedures to account for blood losses and support recovery. 🏥
Veterinary nurses can take charge of setting up the line, placing the cannula for vein access and consistently monitoring the patients to check their progress; they liase with vets to adjust the amount of fluid that is given throughout your pet's stay.

Thursday is for Trimming Nails ✂️
We know lots of pets don't like it but nail clips are super important for preventing long nails growing into pads or causing abnormal stance and weight distribution, especially if your furry friend spends a lot of time walking on softer ground. 🐕‍🦺
Nail clips are free on our Pet Health Plan! Our nurses are well trained with even the most wriggly patients, however it is always helpful to get your young ones used to having their paws touched so they can feel calmer whenever we might need to check them.
This is handsome Hugo being a prime example of a very brave boy during his nail trim this week ☺️

Wednesday is for Weight checks ⏲️
At Carnforth Pet Care we recommend monthly weight consults for puppies and kittens; they are really useful to check on growth and make sure we can prescribe the right dose of important treatments like flea and worm prevention tablets. We use the time to make sure teeth are coming through correctly and give advice on any other concerns you may have as well! 🐱
Weight checks can also be a good way to monitor your pet's diet as an adult and keep them in tip top condition. Animals being overweight can put a strain on their joints and put them at higher risk of many conditions.

Tuesday is for TPR 🩺
TPR stands for 'Temperature, Pulse rate and Respiratory rate' which are three major things a vet nurse will monitor while your pet is under sedation or a general anaesthetic. This allows us to make sure they stay safe and nicely sleepy during their procedure. 😴
Some other things we also monitor during anaesthesia are their blood pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. It is important that everything is charted on the patient's records. 📉
A TPR would also be checked by a nurse during consults or triage to assess patients.

May is Veterinary Nursing awareness month so we thought we'd use this week to highlight all the things our wonderful nurses do behind the scenes! 🐾

Monday is for Microscope🔬
Vet nurses help with lab skills like staining samples of ear wax and lumps allowing them to be checked in house quickly. They can also use the microscope to find little critters on your pets which may be making them itchy, like this chewing louse from a dog! 🐜
Other daily lab tasks include running bloods and urinalysis 🧪

On Thursday night some of our team tackled a great pub quiz at Longlands Inn & Restaurant
'The Wise Quacks' made their way to victory! 🦆 Luckily there was a round about baby animal names which helped us out a lot!
We decided to donate our winnings to SAVE A PET, a local charity who help people in the area with their vet bills. Check out their website at www.saveapet.org.uk if you would also like to offer your support 😊

Last, but certainly not least, the one that started it all:
Sabrina - Veterinary surgeon and director 🩺
Sabrina founded Carnforth Pet Care in 2017 with her husband, Ben, with
a simple aim: to build an independent practice where compassion,
continuity, and personalised care come first.
A devoted cat lover, Sabrina shares her home with three rescue cats
and is passionate about making visits as stress-free as possible for
feline patients—often turning consultations into full-on purring
sessions. 🐈 She particularly enjoys building lasting relationships with
clients, tailoring care to each individual patient, and tackling more
complex medical and surgical cases.
Sabrina graduated from Cambridge Veterinary School in 2009 and began
her career in Bedfordshire, working with a wide range of species. She
later chose to focus on small animals, developing a strong interest in
emergency and critical care. In 2013, she achieved a GP Certificate in
Emergency Medicine and Surgery.
In 2014, inspired by a shared love of mountain running, Sabrina and
Ben relocated to the Lake District. After gaining further experience
in small animal practices across Cumbria and Lancashire, they went on
to establish Carnforth Pet Care in 2017. Ben led the design of the
purpose-built practice, while Sabrina shaped its warm, welcoming, and
informal ethos—creating the modern, client-focused clinic it is today. 🐾

Many of you will know today's member, Sam - Receptionist/Animal care assistant 🐈
Sam started with us in March 2024 and has become a recognised welcoming face on the desk, getting to know our clients and giving out well deserved treats to patients.
In her spare time she likes gardening and going for walks with her dog Luna and her new baby Otis! She also has 2 cats, Neville and Sunny, and 2 chinchillas, Giles and Chico.
She is on maternity leave at the moment but we are excited to have her back soon ☺️
