🐾🩺 **A little visit to Murrayburn Primary School!** 🐶🐱

Nurse Chloe had the absolute pleasure of visiting the P1/2 classes at Murrayburn Primary School to chat to the children about what a day in the life of a veterinary practice looks like! 💜

We talked about all the different ways we care for our furry patients, and the children then got to have a go themselves! They had great fun dressing up as veterinary surgeons, bandaging their animal patients and using a stethoscope to listen to their heartbeats. 🩺🐾

One of the loveliest things is hearing that the school have now created a veterinary role-play area in the classroom, which is already proving very popular with the children as they continue to practice looking after their animals! 🥹

A huge thank you to the teachers and all the P1/2 children for making Chloe feel so welcome. It was a joy to see their enthusiasm, curiosity and budding veterinary skills! Who knows, we might have some future vets in the making! 🐾

Yesterday was a very special day for the Pentland team!

Our wonderful Head Nurse Kim has officially been here for 20 years. She’s an absolute super star and we’re lucky to have her 💜
She’s infamous for overrunning on consults due to her love for a natter, and is a favourite with our patients! She also somehow manages to keep all the behind-the-scenes admin a practice needs ticking over (it’s a lot!), whilst always caring for her clients and colleagues.

Thank you Kim, from all of us!

Can anyone guess what Kim’s favourite cake is? 🐛

Do you know which vaccinations your cat needs, and when they need them?

Vaccinations help protect cats against serious infectious diseases and are an important part of routine preventative care. Keeping them up to date also gives your veterinary team a chance to review your cat’s health and make sure their vaccination schedule is right for them.

Our helpful vaccination guide explains what to expect and when your cat may need their vaccinations.

🐾 Industry Insight at Balerno High School 🐾

Nurse Chloe and Vet Rhiannon recently had the pleasure of visiting Balerno High School to take part in an Industry Insight Session with S4–S6 students interested in veterinary and animal-related careers 🩺

It was fantastic to meet so many enthusiastic students and chat with them about the wide range of careers within the industry, as well as the different options and pathways available to them.

We were able to share some of our own experiences, answer questions and hopefully give the students a little more insight into what a career working with animals can look like 🐶🐱🐴

A huge thank you to the school for inviting us and, most importantly, to all the students who came along, asked such great questions and showed such enthusiasm for the industry 💜

We were delighted to receive this lovely feedback from the school:

"It was a really fantastic session which was so informative and full of top-quality, personal advice for the future for these pupils who are exploring their options. Thank you for sharing your experiences, your passions and your expertise in this way."

It was a real pleasure to be involved, and we hope our conversations have helped inspire some of the next generation of people looking to build a career in the veterinary and animal industries! 🐾
