A very happy (belated!) Veterinary Receptionist Week to our fantastic Client Care Team! 👏

From welcoming nervous pets to juggling phones and emails, ordering medications to providing and advice and comfort to owners and pets, they are the true centre of our practice.

We were so busy this week looking after your wonderful pets that I (Jess) have only just got round to editing and sharing our celebration video for our team, when Veterinary Receptionist Week was last week.

Thank you to Rosie, Lynda and Freddie for everything they do for us every day.

Please join us in celebrating our brilliant veterinary nurse, Rebecca, who has just passed her Diploma in Feline Nursing with distinction 🥳🥳

This is an incredibly demanding course, covering a deep and detailed understanding of feline health, behaviour, and the many quirks that make cats… well, cats! It takes commitment, compassion, and a real love for learning; all the qualities she brings to her patients every single day.

As an independent practice that prides itself on providing an excellent standard of care, we are over the moon to see her hard work recognised. Our team and feline patients will benefit enormously from everything she has achieved.

We are so proud of her - and we know the cats would be too, if they weren’t busy pretending they taught her everything themselves ..... 😻

Handsome Jim the Border Collie came in last week for his free welcome visit with our new vet, Noor. As you can see from his photo, he was listening very intently to his appointment!

A welcome visit is a lovely chance for pets who are new to us to have a gentle health check, chat through any previous medical history, and discuss any ongoing veterinary needs. It also means we can prescribe and dispense flea or worming treatments straight away, keeping everything simple and stress‑free for patients and owners.

We look forward to seeing these expressive ears again soon 🐾

We had the pleasure of seeing Nala and Arlo this week for their second puppy vaccinations, and they were absolute stars. They even posed beautifully afterwards as they were very proud of themselves!

Vaccinations are one of the most important parts of early puppy care. They protect against four core infectious diseases that can be extremely serious:

🐾 Distemper: a highly contagious virus that affects the lungs, gut and nervous system. It can cause severe illness and long‑term complications, especially in young dogs. Thankfully, Distemper incidences are very rare in the UK due to our high vaccination rate.
🐾Hepatitis (adenovirus): a viral infection that targets the liver and can progress rapidly
🐾 Parvovirus: a devastating virus that causes severe vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration. It spreads easily in the environment and can be life‑threatening without intensive treatment, seen regularly in unvaccinated puppies
🐾 Leptospirosis: a bacterial infection carried in water and urine (especially rats and farm animals). It can lead to kidney and liver failure, and is also a zoonotic disease, meaning it can infect humans too.

By completing their vaccination course, Nala and Arlo now have strong protection as they grow, explore and meet the world. We look forward to seeing them as they grow!

We were delighted to host a quiz night last night for our fantastic nurse, Rebecca, who is raising money for Cats Protection with a sponsored ultramarathon later this year!

Our teams enjoyed an excellent selection of food and drink, geography, history, music and general knowledge questions (with several being feline themed!) , with Team Cheese and Pickle romping home to victory!

Thank you to all who attended, and to our fabulous local businesses who supported the prize draw for this brilliant cause 😻



Rebecca is still fundraising and would be incredibly grateful for any donations on her page:

Cats Protection is a UK charity which rescues, cares for, and rehomes cats while promoting neutering and educating the public on responsible feline welfare. We love being TEAM CAT!

This handsome boy is Ollie. He was in with us this week for his neutering procedure and, as you can see, he made himself very comfortable by lounging in the arms of our lead nurse, Leanne.

You will notice he has red bandage on his front leg. Underneath the bandage is an intravenous cannula, a tiny soft plastic tube which sits neatly in one of his veins. This allows us to give his anaesthetic medication smoothly and safely. It is also an important part of our anaesthetic safety protocol: every patient undergoing anaesthesia has a cannula placed, so we can administer any medication immediately if needed, without delay or stress. Once they are fully recovered, this is removed before heading off home.

Ollie was a superstar throughout his stay and took is all in his stride!

We are hosting a charity quiz night at the practice this evening and one of our teams has needed to cancel their spot. So, we have a last minute space for a team!

❗ PET TRAVEL RULES HAVE CHANGED ❗

As of this week, the law regarding pet travel has changed. Any EU pet passport held by an owner who permanently resides in the UK will not be valid. This means that any pets travelling from Great Britain to the EU will not be able to use their Pet Passport, and now will instead need to travel abroad using an Animal Health Certificate (AHC).

An Animal Health Certificate must be issued by an Official Veterinarian (a vet who has taken additional governmental qualifications to certify import and export of pets) within 10 days of travel. Pets must also have an up to date rabies vaccination (which must be given at least 21 days before the certificate is issued).

If your main/permanent residence is in the EU, you can continue to use an EU Pet Passport.

This change has been sprung on veterinary practices very last minute! Our OVs are vets Jo and George. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, so we can make sure any upcoming travel is as unaffected as possible.

Gorgeous Nessa came in to see vet nurse Jaide for her Hadleigh Pet Club visit this week!

These interim six-monthly visits are a brilliant way for you to check in with our team about your pet's health and wellbeing. Our nursing team will discuss preventative healthcare, feeding, dental care, mobility, a nail trim if needed, and much more. It is a great time for all owners to chat through any questions or changes you may have noticed at home, no matter how small.

We love seeing our Hadleigh Pet Club members doing so well. Lovely Nessa enjoyed her visit and posing for Jaide at the end!
