❗️MISSING 🐈
This is Goober, she's a beautiful tabby & white female missing from the Hilltop Drive area of Kirkholt, she is neutered but not microchipped unfortunately. She is usually an indoor cat so her Mum is understandably very worried. If seen or found, send us a message via messenger or contact us on 01706 521117 and we can put you in touch with her owner 🤍

🐾 Meet Minnie 🐶✨️
Minnie was taken in by one our staff members, so she's now part of the Valentines family. She visited us today for her first vaccination and health check.
Minnie has a cleft palate, which is an opening in her lip and roof of her mouth. Treatment for cleft palates depends on the severity of the condition, in some cases conservative management such as special dietary requirements will be sufficient. However, surgery is often necessary to correct the defect.
Thankfully little Minnie is coping well as she is at the moment but will be rechecked at her next vaccine in a few weeks 🤎

Annual vaccinations are important to protect your pet
from harmful diseases.
Your pet’s health is important to us. If your pet’s
vaccination protection has lapsed and a course of two vaccinations are needed to re-start immunity, we’ll bring their vaccinations up to date for the price of a regular annual booster.

appointment or for more information.

🥒 Cool as a Cucumber – and pet-friendly too!
On a warm summer day, cooled cucumber slices
make a great hydrating snack for dogs (and some
cats too!).
✅ Low in calories
✅ High in water
✅ Crunchy and satisfying
Always serve in small, manageable pieces – and never seasoned or pickled!
Not every pet is a fan, and that’s okay – every treat should suit their tummy and taste.
What’s your pet’s favourite summer snack?

Our Story
Our veterinary practice was opened in 1987 by Gerald Valentine (having moved from his previous surgery in Heywood to the more spacious facilities here in Castleton). He was joined in 1993 by Simon Cogan and, 10 years later by Adam Deavin). In 2003, Gary Dybdall came on board, as 15-yeard old completing his work experience for school. In 2004, Gary worked for Valentine’s by cleaning kennels until 2005, when he left to do his training. He returned to us in May 2016 as a full-time qualified vet.
Together the partnership offers you over 60 years of veterinary experience with the emphasis on good communication and a caring attitude.
The practice deals with all aspects of small animal veterinary medicine and surgery at a well equipped, convenient site.
We have a large adjacent carpark for free easy parking so feel free to pop in and see us.
