🚨Due to unforeseen circumstances we are having issues with our medication suppliers🚨

Any repeat prescriptions may require longer than normal to be made up and ordered in so please allow more notice than usual for repeats.

If you have already placed an order in the last few days, please be aware this may not yet have arrived (including those placed via our online shop).

Any questions please email or phone the practice.

Thank you!

****UPDATE - Access to Cottenham High Street has been restored and our Village Vet Cottenham practice will be open as of Monday, December 6, 2021***

Whilst vehicle access to Village Vet Cottenham is restricted during the High Street closures, please note that some of our surgeries have been moved to Village Vet Longstanton. This is to ensure that clients from both north and south of the divide can access veterinary care without getting caught up in the diversion and to prevent our Milton hospital from becoming overloaded.

Please also bear this in mind when ordering/collecting medications. If you already have appointments booked during this period, they will be during our open times and do not need to be rearranged. If the road opens earlier than planned, we will likely revert back to our normal hours. Thank you for your understanding.

It’s Veterinary Nursing Awareness month. Laura Fawcett RVN is our VV Cottenham nurse, holding lovely Nora who was neutered last week. She helps to care for your pets when they are with us for their operations.

This week we said an emotional farewell to Mardie, who has retired after nearly 30 years working at Village Vet Cottenham/Longstanton. As a new graduate, she spent a few years in general practice, gaining a Certificate in Radiology, before heading back to Cambridge Veterinary School. She studied first for an MSc and then a PhD, which she completed just after the birth of her first daughter. After a short break whilst her two eldest children were very young, she joined what was then Robin Hughes-Parry’s practice in 1992/3, and has been with us ever since. We all wish her a long and happy retirement - she will be very missed by staff, clients and pets alike. Enjoy your well earned rest, Mardie, and thank you so much for all your years of service to our community.

We’re proud to announce that we have recently been accredited to the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) Cat Friendly Clinic Scheme as a Bronze Clinic (Silver and Gold are only attainable by practices with imaging and overnight hospitalisation facilities).

We have been firm advocates of their minimal stress cat-handling & hospitalisation guidance and have had a cat only waiting area for many years, but now we have official accreditation.

Thank you to all of our clients who continue to support the work we do for StreetVet Cambridge with your donations. Here’s some of the patients you have helped to treat this month alone! We are so lucky to have pet friendly hostels in our city. StreetVet are working hard to make this a reality in other cities. https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2020/aug/19/the-pet-project-helping-to-get-rough-sleepers-in-the-uk-off-the-streets
