Meet Otto 💙

We were going to tell you a little about him, but instead asked his lovely human, Lesley, to share his story.

“Otto is now 19 weeks old. The most kind, gentle, easy going pup I have ever had. He came in with very big paws to fill. He is doing this in bucketfuls and helping my heart to heal.”

We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Otto at his very first visit and as a team, have watched him slowly grow (well actually very quickly) into his big paws and those incredible ears! We are so pleased that he has helped to heal his humans broken heart. Those of us who have lost a beloved pet, know the impact and grief that can come with such a loss.

A huge congratulations to Otto on being our followers choice for this months 🐾

Is Your Flat-Faced Dog Struggling to Breathe? We Can Help, even if you are not a client.

Many breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, French Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers have a common issue called BOAS - Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. It can make breathing hard for your dog and affect their quality of life.

BOAS happens because their unique face shape narrows their airways. Luckily, surgery can often help by fixing things like a soft palate that’s too long, narrow nostrils, or other blockages.

Surgery can mean:

Easier breathing and less snoring
More energy to enjoy walks and playtime
Lower risk of serious health problems like heatstroke
A happier, more comfortable dog

We’re proud to be one of only a few practices in the South East to offer the Kennel Club grading scheme to assess your dog’s airway health. If surgery is needed, we perform BOAS surgery here with experienced vets and careful aftercare to give your dog the best chance at recovery.

If you’ve noticed your dog struggling to breathe, getting tired quickly, or making noisy breathing sounds, don’t wait.

Get in touch to book a vet check or to discuss a BOAS assessment.

Portland Vets is officially an RCVS-accredited practice, at General Practice level for Small Animals!

We’re delighted to announce that we have achieved accreditation under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme (PSS).

Practices can achieve the Core level or strive for General Practice accreditation, which reflects a deeper commitment to clinical excellence and care standards.

In order to achieve General Practice we have demonstrated:

✔️ We offer a full range of diagnostic, medical and surgical services for dogs, cats, and other small pets

✔️ We have structured protocols for emergencies and overnight care

✔️ Our team is continuously trained to the latest clinical standards

✔️ We follow strict processes in infection control, pain management, and ongoing case monitoring

✔️ We’re regularly assessed and subject to random spot checks by RCVS inspectors

Only around half of UK practices are accredited at any level, so this puts us in a select group of practices that go above and beyond for pets and their owners.

Choosing an RCVS-accredited practice gives you confidence that everything is being done to the highest standards not just what you see in the waiting room, but behind the scenes too. Giving our clients peace of mind.

A huge thank you to our amazing team for their dedication, and to our wonderful clients for trusting us with your pets 💚

Free rabbit goody bag with every health check 🐰

Rabbits need regular health checks every six months, just like cats and dogs. Because they are prey animals, they often hide signs of illness until problems become serious. Early vet visits help catch issues before they worsen.

Many common health concerns such as dental disease, arthritis, parasites and respiratory infections can be prevented or managed with timely care and good husbandry.

Our experienced vets will carry out a full physical exam including a detailed dental check. We will also review your rabbit’s diet and environment and answer any questions you have.

Book your appointment now and receive your free rabbit goodie bag to take home. Please mention Facebook when you book.
