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.

It's Halloween and, although an enjoyable time for many, we must always be mindful that our pets aren't always fans!

Here's our tips on keeping your pets safe.

🧛‍♂️Walk your dogs in the daytime if they are likely to be scared by children dressed up.
👻Keep pets indoors, close curtains & put the radio or TV on.
💀 Have plenty of safe chews & treats available
🦇 If necessary, disconnect the doorbell
🍫Sweets, chocolate & the wrappers may be tempting but can make pets ill so keep out of reach
🎃 Keep curious pets away from lit pumpkins
🐈‍ Ensure microchip details & tags are up-to-date incase of escapees

And finally...

🧙‍♀️ Not all pets like to be dressed up so never force a pet into a costume or allow a child to dress them up as this can distress some pets.

We hope you have a safe and enjoyable Halloween! 🎃

"Excuse me Georgia, please can I have some treats?"

Dudley was keen to show off his tricks when he came to see Georgia J for his appointment.

Swipe to see how much he's changed already since we first met him back in March! 😍

A little message that our Hedgehog friends would like you to share ahead of Bonfire night 🦔

🔥Also, don't forget to ensure that bonfires are completely extinguished especially before letting pets anywhere near the area.

Unsuspecting animals (wild or pet) can run over any embers, which may still be hot, and get burnt feet! 🐾

✨Meet our vets✨

Now that our permanent vet team is complete, we thought we'd take an opportunity to introduce you to them all together!

First up is Senior Vet Keith, who has been at Hillside for more than 22 years! We wouldn't like to count how many pets he has seen in that time but we do know that he has welcomed those from multiple generations of families (not to make you feel old Keith! 😉).

Next up we have Chris who joined us in 2022. Chris is an Advanced Practitioner & certificate holder in ophthalmology and often sees our eye cases and referrals from other local practices.

Alexa joined us in June this year. Having grown up and gone to school locally, Alexa was no stranger to Hillside as we used to care for her dog and she actually came to us for work experience when she was 13! It's a lovely full-circle moment having her as part of the team.

Completing the team is Rachel, who we introduced to you recently. Rachel was with us as a locum in 2025 covering maternity leave and, when the opportunity arose to join the team full time we were thrilled that she was available and wanted to come and work with us.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience between them, you can be assured that your pets are in great hands 🐾

Siblings Milo & Betsy came in for their neutering operations with Keith 😻

They loved the camera so see our stories for some adorable videos of this sweet pair!

Bobbi is here to celebrate National Black Cat Day! 🖤🐾
She came to see Georgia J for her second vaccinations and was such a sweet girl.

Did you know that black cats are often the last to be adopted?

Here are a few reasons why black cats are purr-fect companions:
🖤 Unique Beauty: Their sleek, shiny coats are simply stunning
🖤Good Luck: In many cultures, black cats are considered symbols of good luck and prosperity
🖤Loving Companions: Black cats are just as affectionate and playful as any other cats.

Share a picture of your beloved black cat in the comments below and let’s give these gorgeous felines the love they deserve!

Happy Monday! We hope you're ready for a new week!

We're kicking your week off with handsome Benji who was a very good boy for his nail trim! Check out our stories for the outtake! 😆

11 year old Sebby here is a distinguished gentleman who wears a new bow tie each week. Look how handsome he is posing for his photo 😍

Talking of seniors, as dogs get older, subtle changes can be easy to miss, that’s why we take a closer look at their overall wellbeing, discussing everything from mobility and weight to eating, drinking and behavioural changes.

We can also help identify age-related conditions early, so your dog stays comfortable, active and enjoying life for as long as possible.

Signs such as slowing down on walks, struggling with stairs, sleeping more, or changes in sociability aren't always "just old age“, they could be worth a conversation with us. 💛

Throughout October & November we are offering a wellness check with our nurses for dogs over 7 years which includes a free urine check for all clients and free blood test to clients who are part of our Pet Health Plan (this will be a discounted blood test for non PHP clients).

Call us on 01202 698899 or chat to the team in practice for more information or to book an appointment.
