Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day was started on this day to help owners remember their lost pets, and the fond memories we have of them.

The Blue Cross have a lot of lovely advice and a Pet Bereavement Service to help those struggling with the loss of a pet: https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-bereavement-and-pet-loss
At Westport Vets we completely understand how difficult a decision it is to say goodbye to a furry (or scaly or feathered friend). We have all had to make the hard decision at some point.

In memory of your furry friend, today please feel free to share a photo of them in the comments

🚨 Microchip Scam Alert! 🚨

We've had reports of scammers targeting pet owners – please stay vigilant!

Your pet’s microchip is their lifeline if they ever go missing. Make sure your contact info is up-to-date and protected.

How to stay safe:

✅ Check which company your pet’s chip is registered with

✅ Verify it's a GOV.UK approved database

🚫 Don’t respond to random calls/emails asking for payment

🚫 No monthly fees are required – that's a scam!

❗ Be cautious if someone emails you your own details & asks for money

✅ Need your pet’s microchip number? Contact us – we can help!
📲 Ask us on PetsApp

Report scams to National Cyber Crime.
Let’s keep our pets safe! ❤️
