Sandbeck Vets - the only independent practice in the Wetherby area ๐ฉบ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ
One or two of our clients have informed us that there are rumours going around (we have no idea where they have come fromโฆ) that Sandbeck Vets are no longer independent.
We would like to reassure and reiterate to all our amazing clients that we always have been, and always intend to remain 100% independent. The practice is equally owned by Helen, Ed, Mark, Nat and Julian. Itโs as simple as that. We would like to think itโs one of the reasons clients generally like us so much and we like them! We are completely committed to them and there is no one โhigher upโ telling us what to do!
Furthermore, it feels an apt opportunity to let you all know that Markโs son, Max, has just graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in London ๐ and is starting work at Sandbeck in September. Some of you will already have met him briefly when he was seeing practice with us. Heโs really excited to start work and meet you all in due course!

*FOUND*
A tortoise has been found and handed into us. If you think this could belong to you please can we ask that you get in touch as soon as possible.
If not collected by mid afternoon, we will need to send it to a local rescue to care for it.
Please can we ask that you still contact us after today if you think this could be your pet.

Bee stings are no fun but especially not for our curious cats and playful pups who can frequently be found sniffing around the flowers! ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฑ
๐ If your pet received a single sting and is not displaying any concerning signs, itโs generally safe to monitor and care for their symptoms at home. In most cases, they may experience some swelling at the sting site and the area may become sensitive for your pet.
๐ If your pet receives a sting to their mouth or muzzle specifically, please monitor more closely for breathing difficulties or severe swelling, and seek immediate veterinary attention if either is observed.
You can take the following steps to care for them at home:
โ Remove the stinger if visible
โ Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
โ Monitor for signs of allergic reaction*
๐ Call us right away if your pet displays any of the concerning symptoms below, has been stung multiple times, or has ever had a bad reaction before, they may need immediate veterinary treatment โ quick care can make a big difference!
Letโs keep our furry friends safe this summer! ๐

Almost a year ago, the unit was vacant, previously being a veterinary surgery. Julian Norton approached old school friend, Mark Harrison, with the idea of creating an independent, veterinary centre where the animals and the team were at the heart of it.
With this vision in mind, Julian and Mark approached Veterinary Surgeon Helen Blackburn, Julianโs previous work colleague, and Tracy Hemingway, who previously worked for Mark as a Veterinary Nurse then Practice Manager. The vision became a reality when the lease was signed - then it was all hands on deck!
This is how the practice looked before the work began:
The refurbishment began during the second week of October. With only six weeks to get the practice ready for your adorable pets we had to work very hard, with a lot of help from Adam Szefer and his team.
Finally, on the 22nd of November, 3 days before the opening, all the building was complete! All that was left was a lot of cleaning...
On the 25th of November, 2019 at 8:00am we opened our doors and welcomed our new clients. Heres a few of our first friends:
We hope this is the start of a huge journey, providing the best care with your pets and our team at the heart of this. Thank you for all your support.
