Goodbye Dawn 👋🏻

We’re saying a very tearful goodbye to our Practice Manager, Dawn!! 🥹💚

Dawn has been part of the Trefaldwyn Vets family for seven years, and what a journey it’s been — including navigating us through a pandemic!! She has always remained at the heart of the practice, giving so much of herself along the way.

We’re certainly going to miss her witty banter, infectious laugh and kind, caring ways. She’s been so much more than a colleague — a true friend to so many of us 💚

Now it’s time for her to enjoy a well-earned retirement… although we’re pretty sure it’ll be filled with dog training! 😉

Thank you for everything — for the laughs, the support, the hard work and all the memories along the way. We’re incredibly lucky to have had you as part of our team.

Enjoy every minute of your next chapter, Dawny. You’ll be missed more than you know! 🫶🏻💚💐

Meet Blue & Trefor! 😍

Last week we had the delight of welcoming Blue and Trefor in for their spay and castrate!

These two are Siberian Husky × Swiss Shepherd siblings, and they make one very good-looking pair! 😍

They were also the first patients to try out our new Bair Hugger. The Bair Hugger is an inflatable mattress that gently circulates warm air, helping to keep our patients’ body temperature stable throughout their anaesthetic. 🤗

Safe to say, these two woke up nice and toasty and recovered beautifully! And, of course, they had to recover together in a shared kennel because they really don’t like being apart. 🥹🫶🏻💚

FAREWELL JOE! 💚

After an incredible 18 years with us, it’s time to say a very special farewell to Joe!

18 years is a huge part of your life, and you’ve been such an important part of ours. There have been plenty of laughs, plenty of memories and no doubt a few stories that will stay with us for years to come!

While we’re going to miss having you around, we’re so pleased you’ll be closer to your family and getting to enjoy lots of precious time with them. ❤️

Thank you for your dedication, friendship and memories.

We wish you every happiness in this next chapter — and we hope the grandchildren are ready for you! 😂👶🏼

Good luck, Joe. You’ll be very much missed! 💚

🐾 BRUCE’S CASTRATE! 🐾

Bruce bounced happily into the practice today for his castrate — clearly unaware of what was going to happen ✂️

He was soon back on his feet, tail wagging and ready to get home for some well-deserved TLC 🥰

What a good boy, Bruce! 🐶💚

Thanks for everyone’s guesses in the stories 🤩

🫶🏻 PUPPY LOVE 🫶🏻

Last week the practice descended into wonderful chaos when Bailey, the Golden Retriever, arrived in labour but not making any progress.

An ultrasound scan to check the heart rate of the puppies suggested that moving to emergency caesarean section was the best course of action.

Before long, 10 live puppies were quickly being revived by any staff member that could make themselves available.

The delivery was made extra special as these pups now share a birthday with Faye, our Vet Student (pictured!).

Bailey took to the pups beautifully and was a very proud mum, and 1 week on everyone is doing well 🐶 ❤️
