Today is World Pet Memorial Day.

Every year on the second Tuesday in June, World Pet Memorial Day offers a time for pet owners to remember their pet companions that are no longer with us.

We'd like to invite you to leave a lasting tribute message and a photo on our Forever Loved Memorial page in memory of a beloved pet to celebrate their life.

Click on the link to add your very own dedication to our Forever Loved Memorials page: https://birminghamdogshome.memorypage.org/

We hope you find some comfort in leaving a dedication and letting their memory shine bright.

You can choose to leave a donation, if you wish, in your pets' memory to help the many homeless dogs currently in our care.

Together let's celebrate the lives of the many pets that have given us so much unconditional love and joy over the years.

We care for your pets like they're our own

Leaving your pet with us for treatment, investigations or surgery can be a worrying experience. As pet owners ourselves, we completely understand how much they mean to you and how hard it can be when they're not by your side.

That's why every patient in our care is treated with the same kindness, compassion and attention we'd want for our own pets. Whether they're staying with us for monitoring while they're feeling under the weather, recovering from an operation, or simply spending a few hours with us for a procedure, their comfort and wellbeing are always our priority.

From extra cuddles and reassurance to careful monitoring and tailored nursing care, our team works hard to make sure every pet feels as safe, comfortable and loved as possible during their stay.

As an independent veterinary clinic, we're proud to put pets at the heart of everything we do. We believe every patient deserves five-star care, and that's exactly what we strive to provide every single day.

Has your pet visited us recently? We'd love to see how they're getting on at home!

Share a photo in the comments and let our team see those happy faces and recovery updates.

Do you know one of our veterinary nurses who goes above and beyond for your pet?

Our veterinary nurses are there through every stage of your pet’s journey, from routine appointments and health checks to supporting families through more challenging times. Their compassion, dedication and expertise make a real difference to both pets and the people who love them.

If one of our nurses has made a positive impact on you and your pet, why not show your appreciation by nominating them for a Petplan Veterinary Award?

Every nominee receives a certificate to proudly display in practice, and they could even be named Petplan Veterinary Nurse of the Year.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the incredible work our veterinary nursing team does every single day.

Cuteness overload!

If you've visited the clinic, there's a good chance you've spotted Dr James with his little sidekick safely tucked away in a carrier on their latest adventure.

They're perfect for older dogs, poorly dogs, puppies or simply those little four-legged friends whose legs are much shorter than their enthusiasm!

Just because they can't walk for miles doesn't mean they should miss out on exploring new places, enjoying fresh air and taking in the views. After all, adventures are for every dog, no matter their size or age.

And let's be honest, there's something ridiculously cute about seeing a dog peeking out of a carrier taking in the world around them!

Now it's your turn! We'd love to see your adorable photos. Share your cutest dog pictures in the comments below and let's brighten everyone's day with a little canine cuteness.

Scale & Polish Time!

We brush our teeth twice a day without even thinking about it, but when was the last time you checked your dog's teeth?

Just like us, our dogs can suffer from plaque build-up, gum disease and painful tooth problems if their teeth aren't looked after. We all know how miserable toothache can be, so it's important to remember that our pets can experience the same discomfort too.

Regular brushing, dental chews and routine dental checks can all help keep your dog's mouth healthy and prevent problems before they start. It's much easier (and kinder!) to prevent dental disease than it is to treat it once it becomes painful.

Here, our Trainee Veterinary Nurse Laura is carrying out a scale and polish procedure to remove plaque and tartar build-up, helping to keep this patient comfortable and pain-free.

A dental check is a great thing to ask about when your dog comes in for their annual vaccination or health check. Catching problems early can make a huge difference.

So while you're brushing your own teeth this morning, take a moment to think about your dog's too!

Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month Spotlight – Meet Christina 🩺🐾

This Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, we'd like to shine a spotlight on one of our wonderful Registered Veterinary Nurses, Christina.

Christina qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2024 after completing her training in a small animal practice before joining The Vet Clinic team in March 2025. Since then, she has become a valued member of the team, helping to provide exceptional care and support to our patients and their owners every day.

One of Christina's favourite parts of the role is anaesthesia and theatre nursing. She particularly enjoys spending her mornings assisting with surgical procedures and monitoring patients throughout their operations, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care from start to finish. She also loves meeting pets and their families during nurse clinics and health checks, building relationships and helping owners keep their companions happy and healthy.

Like many veterinary nurses, Christina's role goes far beyond what people see in the consulting room. From caring for hospitalised patients and supporting surgical procedures to offering advice, reassurance and compassion to worried owners, veterinary nursing is a highly skilled profession that plays a vital role in animal welfare.

And her love of animals doesn't stop when she leaves work! Earlier this year, Christina welcomed a rescue dog from Birmingham Dogs Home into her family, giving a homeless dog the second chance they deserved.

When she's not at the clinic, Christina enjoys exploring local canal walks with her partner, as well as spending time with family and friends, including travelling overseas to visit loved ones.

Thank you, Christina, for everything you do for our patients, clients and team. Happy Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month!

With temperatures set to rise this weekend, our Vet Clinic team would like to remind owners to take extra care in the heat.

Many dogs struggle once temperatures go above 20 degrees, especially in direct sunshine, and heatstroke can become a very real risk.

With highs of 25 degrees forecast from Saturday onwards, we strongly advise walking dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler.

Please ensure your dogs have constant access to fresh water, shaded areas to rest and avoid overexertion during the hottest parts of the day.

We would also advise avoiding long walks, family day trips, hot cars, excessive play in the garden and hot pavements which can burn paws very quickly.

Dogs cannot regulate their body temperature like humans can, which means they can overheat far faster than many people realise.

If your dog shows signs such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting or collapse, seek veterinary advice immediately.

Let’s keep our dogs safe and comfortable whilst enjoying the sunshine responsibly.
