Say Hi to Skye and Luna, a German shepherd and a Husky from the same family. They have both been in together for spaying.

They've been such good girls and had some lovely conversations to us when we went in to see them. 🐝

Did you know there’s more than one route to becoming a Vet Nurse? 🩺📚

As part of Veterinary Nurse Month, we’re celebrating the dedication and skill behind the profession, which often starts long before qualifying. There are many training pathways to becoming a Veterinary Nurse.

There are several ways to qualify, including:
✔️ Veterinary Nursing degrees - Foundation Degree in Veterinary Nursing (FdSc) or a BA (Hons) in Veterinary Nursing.
✔️ Level 3 diplomas, which can be ‘topped up’ to a full BSc honours degree through an additional course offered at a university.
✔️ Advanced qualifications and specialist certificates - including postgraduate opportunities in specialist areas, including teaching or research

And learning doesn’t stop after qualifying…

Registered Veterinary Nurses complete ongoing CPD training every year to keep their skills and knowledge up to date, from emergency care and anaesthesia to feline nursing and beyond.

Some go on to teach and mentor student nurses, while others pursue careers in research, nutrition, insurance or the pet care industry. One of our owners, Esther, actually began her career as a Veterinary Nurse and remains passionate about supporting the next generation of RVNs 💛

We’re proud to support student nurses here at Beehive Veterinary Centre and celebrate the incredible career opportunities Veterinary Nursing can offer 🐾

74% of heat related illness cases are due to pets continuing their normal exercise and play, in warmer temperatures.

With the temperature rising we've put together a blog to help you know the signs of Heat Related Illness, and the first aid steps you can take at home if needed.

Indy is our Star of the Week!!

This beautiful girl always comes in looking so smart and neatly groomed. She's been struggling with an ear infection and has been in to have her ears checked.

*REPEAT PRESCRIPTION NOTICE!*

If you normally submit a repeat prescription request between 21st - 26th of the month, please note that, due to the bank holiday, we will need to receive the request by Thursday 21st May.

It takes a little longer for us to receive the medication over Bank Holidays, and we want to make sure all our pets on regular medication don’t run out over the long weekend!
