Thank you 🫶🏼

Thank you to the client (you know who you are), who helped me make the most difficult decision of my life so far.

I’m sorry I’ve been so silent this week. I, like you, also have pets. And I may be a vet, but I face the same emotions and decisions as you for my own pet family.

Those of you who know Tinky, my terrier, will know she has been poorly for the past two years. She had chronic kidney disease and also battled dementia and arthritis. She also had extreme anxiety. We spent most of her life trying to support her with her nervousness and helping her live the best life she could. She wasn’t the perfect pet. She hated children and hated change. But she loved me and I her, and I did everything I could to help her live a happy life. We hired behaviourists, we even went through referral to seek help for her anxiety and attended anxiety classes with the rspca. She started life a normal puppy. She went to puppy classes, socialisation sessions, but she was fearful of new people as soon as she was spayed at 6 months and for this reason I will always discuss every pro and con of this with my clients to ensure we make the right decision. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we now know spaying slightly later is the better approach 💔

Earlier this week, I saw an amazing client who too had a dog with similar problems. I knew deep down Tinky’s time was coming but I’ve been battling with my ‘professional opinion’ and my heart. We cried lots of tears together. His bravery allowed me to find my inner strength and yesterday we said goodbye to my sweet girl.

Surrounded by love. At home. With her family by her side. It’s the hardest euthanasia I’ve ever had to do. But it was also the biggest act of love I could have ever given her.

It was 10:30pm but Laura at Stamford Pet & Equine Crematorium was right on the end of the phone. Supportive. Kind. An ear and a friend.

Today I am slightly broken but so grateful my little love could find peace. Sleep tight Tinky. You’re a good girl. And I love you xx 🌈💕

Ruby was absolutely petrified of going to the vets for her vaccinations, so her owner thought she’d try a home visit to make life a little easier. She was an absolute star and such a beautiful soul. How lovely to make their annual MOT a little easier for everyone. She’s still scared of needles but cuddles and a lickimat certainly helped her forget her worries 🥰🥰🥰

This week has been a week of extreme highs and extreme lows. We have welcomed several new puppies and kittens to The Vet Van family as well as meeting some wonderful new older patients and seeing our repeat customers: Norman and Lucky.

We have also helped families say their goodbyes. Murphy and Tetley were at opposite ends of the spectrum in age but both had very painful, life-limiting, diseases. Their owners were so brave 💕.

Together we have navigated these awful times and I hope this weekend they can raise a glass to two wonderful dogs and to their courage in allowing them to pass peacefully. Thinking of their families and a special thank you to for their assistance and always being on the end of the phone ready to assist with these urgent visits 🫶🏼💕🌈

Everyone meet Woody 🫶🏼 He’s a super handsome boy from South Africa 🇿🇦 and moved to Stamford to swap sharks in the ocean for…well… fish in the River Welland? If I ever run late for your visit you know it’s because I spend far too much time snuggling gorgeous little squidges like him 💕

It’s important to maintain positive relationships with other veterinary practices. We’re all in this together and it’s a hard industry. Since starting The Vet Van I’ve encountered some wonderful support from other practices both independent and corporate: Welland Valley Vets , Vets Now , Faithful Farewell , Catmose Vets , VetsforPets Grantham, and my previous practice, Medivet Bretton.

It’s important to remember that the people on the ground who work, manage, and maybe part own these clinics are amazing people trying their best for their clients.

Today I had the pleasure of helping out one of my partner practices. I always try and work in clinic around my mobile vetting when possible, to make sure my key skills are kept up to date (and there’s nothing like a good catch up with friends!). What a treat to meet this gorgeous little kitten. Isn’t she cute? 🥰🫶🏼💕

This 👆👆This is exactly why I left the world of corporate vet med. I think today has been busier than any day I’ve ever had working as a vet but it’s been the most enjoyable 💕

Sure it’s busy and hectic and I have occasional wobbles wondering how I can possibly be a vet, a business owner, a nurse, a receptionist, a lab manager, a website constructor, social media director, a mum to two little people, a wife, and all the other hats I have to wear on a daily basis.

Can I tell you one thing? Not once in my 12 years in employment did I feel such job satisfaction. Because finally I can spend TIME with people. I can get to know them and their pets as individuals. I can make decisions and give advice I truly believe in. I can be part of the story. And I tell you what, it’s so worth it.

This is gorgeous Crumble and I think I have found my next dog breed because I absolutely fell in love with her today. I’m so lucky to be able to spend time with wonderful people and their gorgeous furry friends. Thank you for trusting me with your pets. It is a privilege and I thank my lucky stars I was able to pursue this path to help others 🫶🏼
