Shepton Vets “We care for your pet as we do our own”
Independent - Local - Here for your pets 24/7, 365 days a year🐾

At Shepton Vets we recognise that your pet is a member of the family and strive to treat them as if they were our own. Founded in 1922 we are a well established practice and our team of receptionists, nurses and vets serve the community in a professional and friendly manner. Our purpose built surgery can be found in quiet surroundings in the heart of Shepton Mallet. The surgery has ample parking, a spacious friendly waiting area and a friendly reception team waiting to greet you on your arrival. For your pet we provide modern medical facilities with a fully equipped surgical theatre, X-ray and ultrasound suite, separate kennels and cattery, as well as onsite laboratory and dental equipment. Our clinical team is lead by four experienced vets who have a range of interests that span both medical and surgical disciplines. They are supported by our team of fully qualified and student veterinary nurses who themselves offer consultations to support ongoing treatment plans as well as assisting with behavioural advice. At the practice we want to cater for all of your pet care needs, and so provide 24 hour emergency cover to help you and your pet during those most stressful episodes. We also offer a wide range of products and services through the practice to help keep your pet in the very best of health, and are always happy to give advice on these to tailor them to your specific needs.

Is your dog constantly scratching, licking their paws or suffering from irritated skin?🐾

It could be more than just an itch. Canine atopic dermatitis is a common allergic skin condition, but with the right care and management, your dog can enjoy a happier, more comfortable life.

Discover the signs, causes and treatment options in our latest article.

Reception desk duties after your first vaccination! 💉🐶

This gorgeous Caucasian Shepherd cross puppy was the definition of chilled after his first vaccination with us! 🥰 He made himself right at home on our reception desk, soaking up all the fuss, cuddles and attention from the team. 🐾

We think he’s already mastered the art of a vet visit! 😍

🎆✨FIREWORK SEASON COUNTDOWN - Less than 1 week to go until fireworks may start!✨🎆

Firework season is nearly here! Now is the time to make sure your home and your pets are ready🐾

Fireworks can often start around Halloween so make sure you are prepared early.
🌙 Walk earlier - Continue to walk your dog during daylight and bring all pets indoors before it gets dark and fireworks are likely to begin.
🪟 Close curtains before dark - Draw the curtains before the first fireworks start and put the TV or radio on to help muffle outside noises.
🏠 Have their safe space ready - Make sure their den is comfortable, familiar and ready to use.
🔒 Secure your home -
Before fireworks are likely to start:
• Close and secure windows
• Close doors
• Secure cat flaps
• Check your garden is secure
This reduces the risk of a frightened pet bolting and escaping.
👨‍👩‍👧 Don't leave nervous pets alone - If your pet is particularly worried by fireworks, having familiar people around can help them feel safer.
❤️ Let your pet choose - Your pet may want to hide, or they may want to stay close to you. Let them choose what makes them feel safest.

Check out our species specific checklists on our website for further help in preparation - https://sheptonvets.com/small-animal/4-weeks-fireworks-preparation-checklist/

If you need any help or advice on how to keep your pet happy and calm this firework season please contact us and a member of the team would be happy to help - 01749 343 955

Swollen toes and broken nails… but could there be more to the story?🐾

When Mia and Tilly arrived at Shepton Vets with seemingly similar foot problems, their owners had no idea what was really going on. What started as a routine vet visit soon took an unexpected turn…

Find out what we discovered, how we helped these two lovely dogs, and why looking beyond the obvious can make all the difference🔎🩺

We are sponsoring Shepton Mallet Fireworks Display🎆🐾

We know this might seem a little surprising for a veterinary practice, especially when we see first-hand how frightening fireworks can be for our pets and the impact they can have on wildlife.

Our hope is that by supporting one official, well-planned event, we can encourage people to enjoy fireworks together in one place, rather than having lots of unexpected displays going off in gardens and residential areas. This gives pet owners a better chance to plan ahead and help keep their animals safe and settled❤️

We know this is a topic people feel strongly about, and we completely understand those concerns. Our intention is to encourage a more considerate approach that takes our pets, wildlife and neighbours into account.

Preparing our pets is just as important!
In this video, Vet Greg and VCA Leah share why we're supporting the event, along with some practical tips to help keep your pets calm and comfortable during fireworks season🐶🐱🐰

We're also sharing our weekly fireworks countdown, packed with advice to help you prepare in advance, including species-specific checklists for your furry and feathered family members. These can be found on our website - https://sheptonvets.com/small-animal/4-weeks-fireworks-preparation-checklist/

Let's work together to make fireworks season a little less stressful for the animals we love💜
