INDEPENDENT VETERINARY PRACTICES

Most pet owners are aware by now that the majority of veterinary practices are in corporate ownership. All practices want to give the best possible service they can but their aim is usually to do it in the most profitable way.

Independent practices need to make a living but they are usually far more mindful of their veterinary oath of putting the best interest of their patient above the best possible payoff. As there are now fewer of them they often have a waiting list for new patients but we have recently been hearing about some new independent clinics opening in and around our area. We have listed a few of the ones we are aware of below, both established and new.

Although all practices are now required to make their ownership clear some can be a little hazy so if it is of concern to you please check thoroughly. Also while some practices are themselves independent they may be partnered with an Out of Hours Emergency clinic that is not.

The Grove, Elm Grove, Southsea
Purbrook Practice, London Road, Widley
Fareham Creek Surgery, East Street, Fareham
Whiteley Village Vets, 1620 Parkway, Whiteley
Bluebell Veterinary Surgery, Manor Crescent, Bursledon
Huckleberry Vets, Vinnetrow Business Park, Chichester
Portsmouth Vets, Unit 2, 44-46 Palmerston Road (the old Debenhams store)
New Barn Veterinary Practice, Main Road, Southbourne
Chilworth Veterinary Surgery, Chilworth Road, Southampton

Emergency Out of Hours
The Lighthouse, 24 hour A&E Hospital, Downley Road, Havant

Microchip scams!

MICROCHIPS

For the second time this year (the first was in January) we have been receiving calls from people regarding their cat's microchip. They have received messages and/or a photo similar to the one below saying their pet’s microchip needs renewing.

If you receive a similar message you do not need to respond, your pet's microchip is registered for their entire life so there is no need to renew or re-register.

If any of your personal information on your pet’s microchip changes then you will, of course, need to inform the company it is registered with to update it but neither the chip or it’s number will go out of date or need renewal.
