Summer’s better when your pet is at their best. That’s why our vet nurses are here to help with our reduced-price health checks and wellness screenings.

A pet health check is a nose-to-tail check-up for cats, dogs, and rabbits. A wellness screening is a detailed, below-the-surface check for mature cats and dogs.

Call us today to book. Offer ends 12 July 2026. T&Cs apply.

⚠️ GRASS SEEDS & DOGS ⚠️

Grass seeds may seem harmless, but they can cause serious problems for dogs during spring and summer months. 🌾🐶

These small, sharp seeds can become lodged in paws, ears, eyes, noses, and skin — leading to pain, infection, abscesses, and in some cases surgery if not treated quickly.

🚩 Signs to watch for:
• Excessive licking of paws
• Head shaking or ear scratching
• Sneezing or nasal discharge
• Limping or swelling
• Sudden irritation after walks

✅ Help keep your dog safe:
• Check paws, ears, and coat after every walk
• Avoid long grass and overgrown areas
• Keep fur trimmed around paws and ears
• Contact your vet if you notice any symptoms

Early detection is key and can prevent serious complications 💛

☀️ Bank Holiday Heat Incoming! ☀️

It’s going to be a hot one this weekend, so while you’re all out enjoying the sunshine, don’t forget to keep your pets cool, comfy, and safe. Here are some top tips to help them beat the heat:

Fresh water always — Keep bowls topped up and pop a few ice cubes in for extra chill.

Shade over sun — Make sure your pets have a cool, shaded spot to relax in.

Avoid midday walks — Early morning or late evening is safest for little paws.

Never leave pets in cars — Even for a minute. Temperatures rise dangerously fast.

Cooling treats — Frozen fruit (safe options only), frozen Kongs, or pet-safe ice lollies are perfect.

Watch for heatstroke signs — Excessive panting, drooling, wobbliness, or vomiting means urgent vet attention.

Have an amazing bank holiday weekend — stay safe, stay cool!

We are open Saturday morning as usual but remember we are closed on Monday. Call us on our usual number of 01263 713 200 if you need any help or advice.

Today we welcomed this absolutely beautiful little Shelduck into our care after their mum sadly didn’t return. 🧡

After being monitored for some time with no sign of mum coming back, this tiny one was brought in to give them the best possible chance. They have completely captured the hearts of all the staff already. 🐥💛

Wildlife babies can become separated for many reasons, and although it’s always important to observe from a distance first and avoid unnecessary intervention, there are times when they truly do need a helping hand.

Thank you to the kind members of the public who take the time to stop, monitor situations carefully, and reach out for advice before acting. 💛

UPDATE: We have unfortunately had to euthanise the cat on welfare grounds as the injuries were too severe. We also believe she may have had kittens recently.

🐾 FOUND CAT 🐾

We’ve had a young female cat brought into us this morning after being found in a garden on Hempstead Road. She is not microchipped and is currently receiving first aid treatment.

If you believe this could be your cat, please contact us as soon as possible on 📞 01263 713 200
