🎆FIREWORKS NIGHT🎆

Are you prepared for fireworks night? Does you pet get in a panic?

There’s lots of simple things you can do to prepare to make the evening less stressful all around:
🎇Create a safe, enclosed space with their favourite toys for comfort.
🎇Make sure windows and doors are securely closed as frightened pets may try to escape.
🎇Play some familiar music or have the radio on to minimise the noise from outside.
🎇Have some favourite treats to hand to reward calm behaviour.

Some pets may benefit from additional help from natural remedies to medical options. If you think this is your pet give us a call 8.30am - 6pm from Monday and our vets can discuss more options with you.

Meet Rogue! 🐈‍⬛

This little kitten was brought into us a few weeks ago as a stray, suffering from a poorly eye and cat flu.

He was a huge hit with the staff and after some meds, TLC and a lot of fuss, we’re happy to say he has now found a lovely home to go to 🫶🏼🏡

We miss him already! 🐾

Yesterday our lovely veterinary nurse Victoria marked an incredible 25years of working at Swale Vets!

Staff spotlight - Annabel

A belated introduction to vet Annabel who joined the Swale team in March this year.

Originally from Hawes, Annabel qualified as a vet from the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh in 2024. After a spell in mixed practice in Penrith, Annabel was keen to be closer to the family farm and is delighted to be at Swale after enjoying placements with us throughout her veterinary studies.

In work Annabel is particularly interested in flock and herd health and longevity of livestock as well as surgery.

Outside of work her passions are in breeding and showing her pedigree Ryeland sheep, stock judging and walking with her 8 dogs. She also enjoys textiles, ceramics, knitting and crochet.

Here’s a couple of photos from a very successful 2026 showing season across all the major shows. Congratulations Annabel!

We are excited to share that we will now be offering laparoscopic bitch spays here at Swale Vets! ✨🐾

A few weeks ago we had the lovely ladies from S A Veterinary Surgeons visit the practice to complete a laparoscopic bitch spay and prophylactic gastropexy on Bria, a 78kg mastiff.

A laparoscopic spay is a minimally invasive keyhole surgery which generally allows for much smaller incisions and offers a quicker healing time than a traditional bitch spay - which was ideal for a big girl like Bria!

If you’d like more information on this, please reach out and speak to one of our vets to see if it might be suitable for your dog.

Today we say a reluctant goodbye to lovely vet Louise 😢. Louise joined Swale Vets in 2023 after 18months working in south west Scotland and today moves on to pastures new.

We’re sure you’ll agree she has been a fabulous part of the team here. We have loved her fun and caring attitude as well as her knowledge of all things cats and ultrasound!

We will miss her but wish her all the very best in the future and are sure to stay in touch.

Good luck Louise!

Last week, vets Ruby and Evie carried out fertility testing on a group of bought-in tups. This involves a full physical examination as well as collecting and evaluating a semen sample under the microscope. 🔬

Fertility testing is a proactive step that can help maximise your chances of achieving a good scanning percentage and tighter lambing period.

A big thank you to Peter for allowing us to share some pictures of his new boys. They were all in tip-top condition and, thankfully, had some pretty strong swimmers! 💪🐏

🐱🐈‍⬛ Did you know even indoor cats can be at risk of serious viral infections?

Vaccination provides a simple, safe way of protecting our cats from several common viruses. Even better they are included as part of our affordable pet health plans so you can split the cost of your routine, preventative treatments over the year.

Go to https://www.swalevets.com/staywell for more information or to sign up. Alternatively give us a call to book an appointment for your cat.

This is lovely Mavis enjoying some treats and cuddles after her dental yesterday 🫶🏼🐶

Mavis belongs to one of our nurses, Millie, who had noticed some tartar starting to build up on her teeth. We gave Mavis a full scale and polish and extracted two of her lower incisor teeth.

Dental disease is something we see everyday and can cause your pet significant pain, even if they hide it well! Many dogs and cats will require dental attention throughout their lives to slow down the progression of dental disease.

Why not make an appointment to chat to one of our vets to see if they think your pet might benefit from a dental? 🦷
