On August 17th, Karen Carver, our Head Veterinary Nurse will be lacing up her trainers and taking on the Scottish 10K in support of a very good cause: Andy’s Man Club – a vital charity working to support men’s mental health across the UK.

Why Andy’s Man Club?�Because su***de is the biggest killer of men under 54 in the UK. And yet, so many still suffer in silence. Andy’s Man Club is changing that.

They offer free, peer-to-peer support groups for men to come together and talk – without judgment, without pressure, and without stigma. Just a safe space where it’s okay to say, “I’m not okay.” From just one group in Halifax, they’ve now grown to over 270+ groups nationwide, helping thousands of men each week to open up, connect, and find strength in shared experience.

This cause is personal – for friends, for family, for anyone who's ever struggled in silence. By supporting her run, you're helping Andy’s Man Club reach more men, open more doors, and break down the stigma that stops so many from seeking help.

👉 If you can, please donate to support this life-changing work. Every pound makes a difference.

And if you’re reading this and struggling, know this:�It’s okay to talk. You’re not alone.�Visit www.andysmanclub.co.uk to find a group near you.

Let’s end the stigma. Let’s start the conversation.�

Welcome to the first post in our own DentalVets series of . . . . .

🦷It happens to our pets too🦷

Our first post hosts our Clinical Directors lovable Vizsla, Chewie.

Chewie was playing at home when Susan's partner noticed a growth inside Chewie's mouth.

He was admitted under the care of our Anaesthetist, Valentina, and our experienced nursing team for his pre-anaesthetic checks.

All going well, Chewie then had a Cone Beam CT scan to assess the oral mass.

We then performed a biopsy to determine the nature of the mass, allowing us to safely remove it with the appropriate margins later.

Fast forward just over a week, and we had the results from our lab that Chewie had an Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma.
This is a benign but locally invasive tumour. Meaning it will not spread to other parts of the body, but will cause significant local destruction of the surrounding tissues.

Our Head of Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr Ingrid Tundo performed a segmental rim mandibulectomy to remove the tumour safely.

Chewie recovered well went home the same day

Well done Team DV!

🐶🦷 Why Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth Could Save Their Life 🐱🪥

Did you know that by the age of 3, most dogs and cats already have some form of dental disease? In veterinary dentistry, we see firsthand how preventable issues—such as periodontal disease —often begin with something as simple as plaque buildup.

Brushing your pet’s teeth may seem like a small task, but it’s one of the most important things you can do for their overall health. Just like in humans, dental disease in pets can cause pain, bad breath, and serious complications if left untreated.

✅ Daily brushing helps prevent tartar buildup
✅ Reduces the risk of painful infections
✅ Protects the heart, kidneys, and liver from bacteria spread
✅ Keeps your pet healthier—and happier—for longer

If you’re not brushing yet, start slow. Use a pet-safe toothpaste and make it a positive routine. And remember: Regular dental check-ups with your vet are just as essential.

Your pet can’t tell you when their mouth hurts—but you can help prevent it.

🦷🐶🐱 Keeping Your Pet’s Smile Healthy – Look for the VOHC Seal! 🦷🐾

Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats? Thankfully, there are products that can help — but not all pet dental products are created equal.

✅ When shopping for dental chews, rinses, or diets, look for the VOHC Seal (Veterinary Oral Health Council). This seal means the product has been scientifically proven to help reduce plaque and tartar — a great way to support your pet’s oral health between professional cleanings!

💡 Tip: Just because a product says it’s “dental” doesn’t mean it works. The VOHC seal takes out the guesswork.

Healthy teeth = a happier, healthier pet.
Ask your vets and veterinary nurses if you’re not sure where to start! 🐾🦷💛

🌊🐾 Summer Safety Tip for Pet Owners! 🐾🌊

As the warm weather rolls in, many of us are heading to local beaches and lochs with our furry companions. While it might be tempting to throw stones for your dog to chase, please think twice!

⚠️ Stone throwing can lead to serious dental injuries — we often see painful tooth fractures in dogs caused by chewing or catching rocks.

✅ Safer Alternative: Use a durable rubber toy instead! A good rule of thumb:
👉 If your thumbnail can't make a dent in the toy, it's too hard and could damage your dog’s teeth.

Keep those tails wagging and smiles healthy this summer! 🦷🐶💛
