Hillside Veterinary Centre

Hillside Veterinary Centre Caring for your pets for over 25 years We all have the same passion - an undeniable love of animals.

We are a small animal vets, located on the main road through Corfe Mullen, near Wimborne and Broadstone and within easy reach of Poole Harbour in Dorset - a beautiful part of the country. Having been established since 1997 as a one vet practice, we have grown into a dedicated and passionate team of four vets, four nurses, three receptionists and two support staff. We have pets of our own that are

part of the family and we always strive to treat our patients as we would want our own pets treated - with love, care, understanding and a gentleness that is required when pets are feeling a little under the weather.

But can you remember what cross of breeds he is?

We're proud to be sponsoring this event in aid of The Labrador Rescue Trust .

"Labradors Rock! 2025

Friday 3rd October, Doors 7pm, Allendale Community Centre, Wimborne

https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/wimborne/allendale-centre/labradors-rock-2025/e-dddlel

It’s been six long years since Spinal Taff headlined The Allendale, but now they’re back with a fresh new lineup and ready to ‘Rock You Like a Hurricane’, with a stellar set of rock and heavy metal classics, and this time, it’s all in aid of The Labrador Rescue Trust.

The band are joined by special guests, Mike & The Mojitos who, inspired by the sounds of Funk, Soul and Disco, take popular songs from across the ages and transform them into groovy arrangements, so you can sing and dance to the songs you've heard many times before, but with a fresh new coat of paint!"

Team Hillside are fundraising for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. 🚁

Over the past few months, some of the Hillside team have been working on getting more active, logging more steps per day and generally trying to move more.
We thought, what better way to put all this effort to the test than to get out on a 10k walk together and raise money for our chosen charity for 2025, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. 🚶🚶‍♀️

None of us want to be in a position to need their services, however, when the need arises, they are ready to provide life-saving, pre-hospital critical care. But they need our help.
Last year, they were tasked to 2,909 incidents, with each mission costing approximately £3,500 and they are funded by charitable giving.

If you are able to spare even just £1, we would really appreciate the support.

Beautiful Olive came to see us for the first time for her health check and microchip.

Not only was she super brave having her microchip inserted but she was also a complete poser with our first visit board (even having a little taste) 😻

Gorgeous Daisy can be a little anxious but she was soon won over with treats when she came to see Abbi for her 6-monthly health check.

Daisy is 10, so it's really important that she has regular health checks now she's more senior and hers was included in her Pet Health Plan so there was nothing to pay on the day!

No matter what their age, all pets on our pay-monthly plan have a 6 month nurse health check included. Have you booked your pet's?

For more information about all the benefits of the Pet Health Plan, visit our website https://www.hillsidevets.co.uk/pet-health-plan

We're here to banish those Monday blues with some more of the super adorable puppies we've met recently 😍

Daphne, Digby, Buddy & Otillo all came to see us for the very first time and had the occasion marked with their special photo.

Thank you so much for entrusting us with the health care of your pets as they begin their journeys into the big wide world. We can't wait to watch them grow! 💚

Chilli was more interested in chewing the board than posing for a photo when he came for his first visit! 😸

After his vaccinations with Morgane, his humans chatted all things kitten with Gemma and signed him up to our Pet Health Plan so he's all good to go!

Ensuring our pets are microchipped is important (and law for dogs & cats) but what sometimes gets forgotten is keeping the details held on the database up to date.

Have you changed your telephone number? Moved house? Re-homed a pet?

Today is 'Check the Chip Day' so why not take some time this weekend to check that your details are up to date so that if anything should happen and your pet becomes lost you can be quickly reunited.

Yesterday we asked you what you thought was happening when Missy came to see us.

The answer is, she was having dental x-rays!

We discovered that Missy was suffering with the most common form of dental disease in cats which involves resorption (or dissolving) of the tooth, so she needed
some extractions.

Cats can be the master of disguise when it comes to pain so it's important to look out for subtle signs of dental pain. Are they favouring one side of their mouth
when they eat? Are they wolfing down food without really chewing or being fussy with their food? These could all be signs of dental pain. 🦷

Don't forget, we're still offering our FREE dental checks with our nurses until the end of September so if you're unsure if your feline friend could be having problems,
call to book in 01202 698899.

Temperatures are set to soar over the next few days. Keep dogs in the cool, they certainly won't miss their walks in this heat if you can't get them out extra early.

Provide shady spots for cats, keep small animals out of direct sunlight and ensure all pets have access to water.

Be aware of signs of heatstroke:

❗️Excessive panting or difficulty breathing
❗️Drooling more than usual
❗️Restlessness or agitation
❗️Bright red gums or tongue
❗️Vomiting or diarrhea
❗️Weakness or collapse
❗️Rapid heartbeat
❗️Staggering or uncoordinated movement
❗️Lethargy or confusion
❗️Seizures
❗️Loss of consciousness

If you think your dog is showing signs of heatstroke remember

'WET THEN VET'

Quickly wet the dog with cool water around 15 degrees (not freezing cold). If not available, any water that is cooler than the dog’s skin feels.

Cool water, around 15°C, is ideal, but any water will help. If you only have soft drinks, ensure they don't contain xylitol, and avoid pouring them on the dog's head. Wetting the dog will promote cooling through evaporation. Do this before taking them to the vet but don't spend too much time on it.

Afterward, contact the vet and inform them about the situation and how long it will take you to arrive. This allows the vet's team to prepare for your dog's arrival and increases their chances of receiving prompt treatment.

Avoid using wet towels on the dog as they can trap heat. However, specialised cooling vests that function through evaporation are suitable.

Please share to help keep dogs safe this summer ☀️
