Happy Friday!

Here is the lovely Matilda in for her post op check following a dental procedure last week.

As you can see we haven't put her off too much and she's enjoying a little treat whilst here 🥰

Dental disease is a really common problem, and we regularly recieve feedback after dentals that owners notice a big difference in their pet's overall wellbeing and happiness.

Often dogs and cats are still eating normally and don't always show that they are experiencing dental pain, therefore a thorough exam of the mouth is the best way to check for any signs of dental disease.

If you would like to arrange for a dental health check, please give us a call.

Have a great weekend!

Hope everyone has had a lovely bank holiday weekend in the sunshine and all your pets have managed to stay cool!

Today is also set to be a scorcher so make sure the water bowls are topped up and we would recommend avoiding any walks whilst it is so hot ☀️

Here is the gorgeous Otto visiting us last week for a check up when it was slightly cooler 🥰

We've had a lovely start to the week with a puppy visit from Ernie! 🥰

Ernie came in for a nurse appointment today to check his weight for his next flea and worm treatment, and to catch up with how he's getting on with important puppy business, like nutrition, training, and socialisation 🐶

It was a stress-free visit for Ernie as you can see, he was very relaxed and enjoyed lots of fuss and treats!
