Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026 ๐Ÿพ

As we prepare to ring in the New Year, the team at Ribble Vets wanted to take a moment to reflect on the year weโ€™ve shared with you and your beloved pets.

2025 has truly been a year of growth, learning, healing, and heartfelt moments. Here are just a few of our favourite highlights:

๐Ÿš Ribble Vets On The Road
This year marked the launch of Ribble Vets On The Road, allowing us to bring nurse clinics directly into your own home and making expert veterinary care more accessible and convenient than ever.

๐Ÿถ Extra Care When It Matters
From Sarahโ€™s dedicated eye clinics to hosting life-saving Pet Blood Bank donation sessions, our vets, nurses, receptionists and support teams have worked closely together to provide extra care when it matters most.

๐Ÿ’ฆ The Journey to Recovery
Our Mobility Services team has been busy both in the water and on the mat, helping pets regain strength, confidence, and comfort through hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, nurse-led weight clinics, laser therapy and more.

๐ŸŽ“ Growing, Learning & Achieving
Weโ€™ve proudly supported our student nurses as they completed their training and took their next steps into qualified practice. Alongside this, many of our team members have attended additional training courses and gained new qualifications, allowing us to continually enhance the care we provide.

๐Ÿ‘‹ A Changing Team
This year weโ€™ve warmly welcomed new members to the Ribble Vets family, while also saying goodbye to some valued colleagues who have moved on to exciting new ventures. Weโ€™re grateful to each and every one of them for the dedication and care theyโ€™ve given to our clients and patients.

๐Ÿพ Growing Up Together
Weโ€™ve celebrated countless Puppy Graduations, hosted confidence clinics and teenage parties, and seen fantastic progress through our behaviour training sessions. Our dedicated Behaviour Support Team has loved supporting pets and their owners through those important early stages of life and beyond.

โค๏ธ There for Every Moment
From your very first appointments and welcoming new paws into your family, to being there during the hardest goodbyes to your much-loved companions, our whole team works together to ensure you feel supported through every stage of your petโ€™s journey.

To our amazing clients and patients: thank you for trusting us with your family. Weโ€™re incredibly proud to be part of your petsโ€™ lives and canโ€™t wait to see what 2026 has in store.

Happy New Year from all of us at Ribble Vets! ๐ŸŽ‰

This year a new calming product was released ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

๐Ÿ”ต The โ€œCalmDownโ€ post op button is designed to fit to E collars to help cats and dogs feel calmer whilst wearing them during their recovery after surgery. It is a pheromone releasing tag that fits to a neck collar or harness and lasts for 10 days.

Some of our staff trialled them for their pets during other short term stressful periods like at firework time, with some good results ๐ŸŽ†

They are available to buy over the counter at reception. We also have other calming products that may help and can be used at short notice for the NYE celebrations ๐ŸŽ‰

Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ is a wonderful time of celebration and family for most of us. It can also be a very hectic and chaotic ๐Ÿคช period for us and pets.

Here are some tips to help your pets ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฏ over the festive period ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ

* Maintain Routine: Try to stick to their regular routine. Provide security by keeping feeding, walking ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบand toilet times as close to normal as you can

* Safe Space: Ensure pets have somewhere quiet that is always accessible to go to get some respite from all the activities and noise

* Introduce Guests Gently: Ask guests not to approach pets, instead allow pets to approach them when ready. We recommend gentle strokes on the chest for the count of 3 then stop. Do they ask for more or move away? ๐Ÿค”

* Calming Activities: Long-lasting tendon chews, frozen lickmats, food hidden in boxes ๐Ÿ“ฆ etc can help promote calmness and reduce over arousal.

* Familiar Scents: If taking pets with to visit family, take their bed/blankets ๐Ÿ› with so they have some home comfort

* Over-stimulation: Don't force interactions. Enforce regular breaks by giving them a calm ๐Ÿ˜Œactivity to do. Always supervise them
