A Little Heads-Up! 🐾

On Thursday 7th August, MSK Vets will be closing from 1pm onwards so our team can enjoy a summer BBQ and team-building afternoon.

If you need anything, please get in touch ahead of time to avoid any inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding and support – our team works hard all year round, and we’re excited to take a little time to refresh, recharge and come back even stronger for the pets we love. 🐶🐱☀️

Superstar Reilly came into the clinic recently to be fitted with his custom made WIMBA brace. Reilly is an unusual case in that his orthotic has been designed to try and support his foot following a toe removal for a cancerous mass.

Unfortunately, the way his foot now moves has made him very prone to injuring the area so the orthotic aims to support and protect the area. As you can see from that smiley face he was an absolute trooper again and he took to his orthotic beautifully! Fingers crossed for an absolutely brilliant dog!

MSK Vets is proud to now be a Pet Blood Bank hosting venue.

We’re offering our clinic space during downtime hours to support blood donation sessions that help save pets’ lives across the UK.

Pet Blood Bank is a UK charity providing vital blood products to vets in need - just like the human blood service, but for pets.

At MSK Vets, we’re committed to improving animal welfare in every way we can, both in and beyond the clinic.

If you're a dog owner interested in donating, please visit petbloodbankuk.org

With the UK heatwave in full swing, here’s your reminder to protect your dogs!
Please avoid walking dogs on hot pavements or tarmac – if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. And never leave dogs in cars, even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise dangerously fast and cause heatstroke. Stay cool, stay safe – early morning and late evening walks are best during this weather! 🐶☀️

DATR OPEN DAY 2025!!!! FREE ENTRY!
Saturday, 28th Jun 2025: 1030am to 4.30pm.

This event is held every other year & it is always a very popular event! The official Poster & some more details follow:

The DATR Open Day is suitable for individuals, couples, groups of friends & families with children. With a forecast of 50 stalls of interest & vendors, there will be lots to see & do!

Note: Pets cannot be brought to this Open Day event due to the presence of Military Working Animals on display & being used in demonstrations.

Military Demonstrations will take place all day in the main arena! Lots of Military Working Animals (Dogs / Horses) & Mascots (a wide variety of animal types) will be available to meet or see! We also listened to our 2023 feedback & have planned more food / drinks vendors due to the last event's high footfall!

Main arena events start at 1030am, but carparks & walk-ins are open from 10am onwards. Other facilities such as interest stalls & food / drinks vendors will begin to open from 10am, enabling you to explore & refresh before the demonstrations begin. Main arena demonstrations finish at 4.30pm. At this time, the Open Day will close. You are not constrained by the opening time/s listed & may arrive at any time before 4.30pm!

There will be lots of other places on site to explore, such as Military Working Animal Rehoming, Veterinary, Military Mascot Animals & Farriery displays. The event will also feature a flypast by a historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight plane. This is forecast for mid-afternoon, but the historical plane featured & an exact time will be confirmed during the event (due to on-the-day plane choice availability & flight-path approvals that are out of our control). A Military band from the Royal Military School of Music have been booked & will play on-the-march in the arena.

More details will be published on our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram & Twitter-X) at a later date, so please hit that 'Like', 'Follow' & 'SHARE' button!

Riley came in today to be fitted for a custom WIMBA orthotic to support his tarsal joint.

Our team carried out a precise 3D scan of the affected leg, which will be sent off for a bespoke orthotic to be printed and made just for him. Looking forward to seeing Riley back soon for the fitting!

"Fantastic value for money – I thoroughly recommend.”

It means a lot when clients take the time to share their experience, especially when they've travelled to see us.

At MSK Vets, our focus is on providing thoughtful, specialist care for dogs with mobility issues. From longer appointments that give dogs time to settle, to a calm, purpose-built environment — everything is designed with their comfort and needs in mind.

Thank you to Hannah Leach for their trust and kind words.
