Steve has chosen his favourite toy!😍🐾
This very gentle giant that is Steve came in to see us today for his 6 month Health check with the nurse.

He was very happy with his purple stripey elephant!🥰

Meet Luna!🐾💕
Luna is a gorgeous 4 and a half month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier and she came in yesterday to see the nurse for a meet and greet and get to know us appointment with a weight check.
She had a good explore and sniff round the consult room, chose her favourite toy from the toy box, had some liver paste and sat and posed perfectly (for all of 2.1 seconds!😂) for her photo to be taken.
It turned out well!
Luna will be coming back again in a month for another meet and greet - these appointments help to build puppies confidence and good associations with us as they grow up.
Regular visits to us can make a huge difference to how they see us and if they are happier coming in then it makes your lives, our lives and their lives a lot easier and more relaxed.
Feel free get in touch to book a meet and greet and confidence clinic with the nurse, whatever age your canine friend is😍🐾

Molly, a miniature Dachshund, came in for her 10 day post op check recently after being spayed.
Her wound was healing beautifully and Molly was looking forward to getting back to her normal running around and sniffing after 10 days of reduced exercise🐾
Molly will come in more regularly over the next year, either to have a nurse appointment or just to pop in, to be weighed so her weight can be monitored - her metabolism will slow down now she has been spayed so she can gain weight more easily.

Daisy, a cocker spaniel cross poodle, came in to see us for her 6 month Health check last week💞🐾🤩.
This beautiful little lady is nearly 4 years old and she had lovely teeth, her microchip was reading fine and her owners details are all current and up to date, and she is treated regularly at home for internal and external parasites.
If you would like your pets microchip scanned and checked to make sure it is still in place and reading OK, then get in touch to book a nurse check up appointment.
We can also find out which of the many central bases your pets microchip is registered on so you can update your details as well if needed.

This beautiful gentle lady is Odetta who is nearly 7 years old and came in for her 6 month Health check with our consulting nurse.
She had her weight checked (perfect!), her microchip scanned and checked (all good!), we dispensed her next doses of parasite treatment to be given at home and her owner went home with information on osteoarthritis and what signs to look out for as Odetta gets older.
Officially, cats and dogs are classed as senior from the age of 7 years old and upwards, which is hard for us to accept💞 but (like us) there can be changes and deterioration in joints and bones which can cause pain, stiffness and arthritis, and also in sight and hearing.
If you notice any changes or signs, or would just like some advice on symptoms and what to look out for, then please get in touch with us to book a vet appointment for a check up and examination or a nurse appointment for a chat and general advice.

This beautiful, slightly worried face belongs to Kevin who was castrated last week with us. 🥰
He came back on Monday to see the nurse for his 1st post op check.
The wound was healing beautifully and he was wearing his pet medical shirt to prevent him licking the area while in the car.
We think he looks very dashing in his shirt😍

This very handsome fella is Boris who came in to see the nurse a couple of weeks ago to have some staples removed from a wound.
He had had to spend the previous 2 weeks not being able to do the things he loved (being out and about, watching the world go by outside, having his freedom) so his wound would heal properly and so hadn't been living his best life😿
The wound had healed beautifully so he was able to go back to his perfect cat life 😻🐾

Great news if you and your pet travel to Northern Ireland and back regularly from the UK mainland!

From the 4th June the rules are changing and you can apply for a Northern Ireland pet travel document (PTD) that allows you to travel as often as you need to with your pet (cat, dog or ferret) and the PTD lasts for the lifetime of your pet.

There are certain criteria to be followed - please see the link below that will take you to the Government website with all the current information.

The PTD is free.
It can be applied for on-line by you (There is no need to visit us).
A rabies vaccination is not needed. (A microchip is definitely needed).
The PTD lasts for a lifetime.

Contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) on the Pet Travel Helpline number: 03000 200 301 or email them on: [email protected]

Take your pet dog, cat or ferret abroad: getting a pet passport or export health certificate, microchip, vaccinations and tapeworm treatments.
