June equine area visits are now underway. 🐴☀️

With summer here, it's the perfect time to make sure your horse is feeling their best. Whether they're competing, hacking, or simply enjoying the warmer months, keeping on top of routine care now means fewer worries later.

Our zoned visits make it simple to plan ahead, with lower costs and the reassurance that your horse gets the attention they deserve, right in your area.

And if you want a stress-free way to stay on top of your horse's care all year round, our Equine Health Plans have everything covered. From vaccinations and dental checks to worm egg counts and vet visits, it's all wrapped up in one easy monthly plan.

If your horse is due a visit this month, or you'd like to find out more about our Equine Health Plans, get in touch with your local Thrums Vets team.

By age 3, most dogs and cats already show signs of dental disease. It often starts with bad breath or a little yellowing, but left untreated it can lead to tooth loss, pain, and infections that affect the heart, liver and kidneys.

The good news? It's easy to stay on top of with the right support.

Our Dental Hygienist Plan gives your pet:
✅ Scale and polish treatments as clinically required
✅ Six-monthly dental health checks with a nurse
✅ 20% off dental diets and toys
✅ 50% off Plaque Off dental powder

All from just £16 a month.
No stress. No big surprise bills. Just a healthier, happier pet.

Fledgling Birds🚨

At this time of year, we see many young birds being brought into the practice. If you find a fluffy young bird hopping on the ground, chirping, or fluttering around — this is completely normal behaviour for a fledgling.

Fledglings are still learning to fly, they often hop around on the ground for up to 2 weeks before they can fly! Their parents are usually nearby, feeding and watching over them, even if you can’t see them immediately. Taking them away from the area often means separating them from the best chance they have of survival. If the parents can see you there, they won't come down to feed their baby.

Please remember:

✅ Leave fledglings where they are whenever possible
✅ Keep pets and children away from the area
✅ If the bird is in immediate danger (road, cat, etc.), gently move it to a nearby bush or sheltered spot
✅ Observe from a distance — parents often return once people leave

A bird only needs rescuing if it is:
❌ Clearly injured
❌ Covered in flies or other beasties
❌ Weak, cold, or unable to stand

The kindest thing you can usually do is leave them with their parents while they learn how to be birds 💚

If you’re unsure, please call us or the SSPCA for advice😊

Neep wasn't the only one eyeing up the Thrums pet food range. 👀

Looks like Theo spotted the Super Premium fish with rice and decided it was worth investigating – can't really blame him for that one.

The good news is we've got you covered whatever pet you share your home with. Our Super Premium range includes food for dogs and cats, so everyone gets a look in.

Available at all four of our practices – ask our team at your next visit. 🐾

⭐️Meet Our Vet Nurses⭐️

Lauryn is a final-year student veterinary nurse who is currently awaiting her exam results before officially completing her degree.

She has been with us for almost two years, completing her placement at our Kirriemuir surgery, and she’ll continue working between both our Kirriemuir and Blairgowrie surgeries going forward.

Lauryn enjoys working closely with the team to provide the very best care for our patients and is especially passionate about patient welfare. At the moment, she enjoys all areas of nursing and is looking forward to continuing to develop her skills and experience.

Outside of work and studying, Lauryn enjoys spending time with her cat Bruce, going to concerts, being outdoors, and attending ice hockey games in Dundee. 🐱🏒
