🐾 Important Practice Update 🐾
To help protect the health and wellbeing of our patients, clients, and team, we have introduced an updated policy in line with current veterinary guidance regarding Brucella canis.
Brucella canis is a bacterial infection that has been identified in a small number of dogs in the UK, most commonly in dogs that have been imported from overseas or from rescue organisations abroad. As part of our duty of care and infection control procedures, we may ask for evidence of a negative Brucella test before appointments or procedures for dogs that have been imported or travelled from abroad.🌍
If your dog has not yet been tested, our team will be happy to explain the process and discuss the options available to you.
We understand this may be a new or unfamiliar topic for some owners, and we are here to support you with any questions or concerns. Our aim is to continue providing the safest possible environment for our patients, clients, and staff, while ensuring every pet receives the care they need.🩺
Thank you for your understanding and continued support 💙
