Derwent Valley Vets

26/05/2026

☀️We’re a proud International Cat Care Silver Cat Friendly Clinic, so of course our feline friends get their own hot weather reminder too! 🐈

Cats love finding cool, quiet places to nap but sheds, garages and conservatories can quickly become dangerously 🥵 Before closing doors, take a quick peek for any curious visitors 🐾

A few seconds really can save a life 💙

⚠️☀️ HOT WEATHER WARNING ☀️⚠️

Keep your pets cool, hydrated & NEVER leave them in hot cars 🚗🔥
Even short walks on hot pavements can burn paws & lead to heatstroke 🐕💧

Watch out for signs of heavy panting, weakness, vomiting or collapse.

Wherever you are, please seek your nearest emergency veterinary practice immediately if you have any concerns 🚨🐾 (this may not be your usual practice if you are away from home)

SAVE THE DATE, Saturday the 20th of June 2026 1pm to 3pm, Derwent Valley Vets open day 🍾
To celebrate our 10th birthday 🎂 and the completion of our extension (the safety fencing is finally gone 🍾🍾🍾) we are holding an open day on Saturday the 20th of June, where we are inviting all of our clients to come and have a look at those parts of the practice that you don't normally see. The team will be on hand to show you round behind the scenes and explain what goes on there. With it being a birthday celebration, there's likely to be lots of cake and some fun and games as well. Come and join us if you're able. It would be lovely to see you.

⚠️ ☎️ Please note that tomorrow evening (Thursday 21st May) we will be closing earlier than usual at 7pm instead of 9pm. Thank you for your understanding 😊

Yay! Our hanging sign is back! After nearly ten years of being open, our board (that had been the pub hanging sign for The Boat House - which we originally had handpainted with our logo before we opened in 2016) had gone rotten.
For safety's sake it needed taking down.
It is now back 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fully refurbished and repainted 🎨🖌by the same talented sign writer who did it 10 years ago.
It's really good to have it back in place in advance of our 10th birthday 🎂 in June.
Keep an eye out for more information coming soon about our upcoming birthday celebrations on the 20th of June 🍾🥂🎂

It's a fabulous morning at Cromford Mills. We are all set up to play our part and support this local charity by supporting their annual dog show. We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Classes have started but there are still spaces left in some, so grab your leads and come down and say hello
