🌟 Patient of the Week: Max 🌟

Say hello to Max, our absolute superstar who pops in every month for his Librela appointment — and has very quickly become one our firm favourites.

Max brighten’s the whole practice the moment he comes through the door. Max takes his visits in stride, always gentle, always charming, and always ready for a cuddle.

Pets like Max make our job feel incredibly special.
Here’s to you, Max — thank you for being such a joy every single month. We can’t wait to see you again soon 💛🐾

🐾 Meet the Team 🐾

Hi, I’m Maddy, and I’m in my third year of training as a student veterinary nurse.

Over the past few years, I’ve discovered a real passion for ward nursing, especially caring for intense and complex cases. I love being able to support patients through their most vulnerable moments and seeing the difference good nursing can make to their recovery.

I’m also really excited about developing my skills further. I’m hoping to complete certificates in ultrasonography and surgical nursing, as I enjoy both imaging and theatre work and want to play a bigger role in each stage of a patient’s treatment.

Outside of the practice, I’m usually off travelling, exploring new places, or spending time with my grumpy Jack Russell, Buddy, who keeps life busy and full of laughs.

I’m really enjoying my journey so far and feel lucky to be part of such a supportive team.

🐾 Meet the Team 🐾

Hello, I'm Cass.

I've been with the practice since 2023 and qualified in 2026 as a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

At work I love anesthesia and critical care. At home I'm either reading while cuddling my dog, fighting my three-leegged cat away from my baking or enjoying a good gym session! 💪

🌟 Star Patient of the Week: Rocky 🌟

Meet Rocky — 16 years young, devastatingly handsome and a long‑time member of his loving family since he was adopted from Cats Protection at just 1.5 years old. He’s always been a cuddle‑bug, so when he started slimming down and draining the water bowl dry, his family knew something was up.

Our brilliant vet, Klara, quickly uncovered the cause: diabetes. With medication and lots of TLC, Rocky is already feeling much better. In fact, after only a week of treatment, he’s back to plotting mischief and keeping everyone on their toes.

Well done, Rocky — you’re an absolute star 🤩

🐾 Meet the Team 🐾

I'm Klara, one of the vets here at Medivet Forest Row.

I graduated from Warsaw in 2023, and in 2024 I joined the Forest Row team, where I’m currently working towards an Advanced Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Medicine.

I’m a proud self-certified “crazy cat lady” with a real love for all things veterinary. I especially enjoy managing complex internal medicine cases, emergency care and diagnostic imaging.

In my consultations, I focus on keeping my patients as calm and comfortable as possible by reducing fear, anxiety, and stress.

Outside of work, I enjoy healthy cooking, travelling, and going on road trips.

29/04/2026

🐾 Meet the Team 🐾

I'm Chris, the senior vet here at Medivet Forest Row.

I love keeping your pets healthy! Alongside the high standard of care we provide when your pets are unwell, I’m passionate about exploring everything we can do to keep them as healthy as possible.

For four decades I’ve used an integrated holistic approach, combining the best of modern medicine and surgery with natural therapies such as herbs and homeopathy.

Teaching and empowering owners is something I really enjoy, and I always focus on what can be done to keep pets in tip‑top condition. I often run courses to help people learn more.

Outside of work I like to stay active and enjoy running, climbing and riding, as well as gentler pursuits like yoga and tai chi.

🌾 Grass Seed Season🌾

Grass seeds may be tiny, but they can cause big problems for dogs during spring and summer. These sharp, barbed seeds can easily get
caught in your dog’s coat and work their way into the skin, ears, eyes, paws or nose, leading to pain and infection.

🐾 Watch for these signs:
- Sudden limping or licking at a paw
- Head shaking or pawing at the ears
- Red, swollen or watery eyes
- Sneezing fits
- A sore spot or small lump that appears quickly

After every walk, especially through long grass, check between the toes, around the ears, under the armpits and through the coat. Early spotting can prevent a much bigger issue.

If you notice any symptoms or think your dog may have picked up a grass seed, give us a call — we’re here to help keep your pets comfortable and safe this season.

🐾🍔 Are you ever guilty of sneaking your dog extra snacks or leftovers?

What may seem like just a little treat can add up when it comes to your dog’s daily calories. Some foods are unsuitable regardless of calories, as they’re high in fat or contain lactose - which dogs can’t tolerate. Swipe to see how everyday foods and snacks stack up in your pet’s diet.
