We have noticed there is an issue with our answerphone message.

The practice is closed on Sundays and if you call us you should be directed to the Huntingdon Veterinary Emergency Service but this is not happening.

If you need a vet urgently today please call 01480 52222.

We are working to get this fixed and send apologies to anyone who has been affected

Happy birthday to us!

We opened our doors to our first clients and patients three years ago today.

We are truly grateful to all the people of St Ives and around who have supported us while the practice has been growing and improving. We're very proud of what we have achieved so far and especially our wonderful team of vets, nurses and receptionists who truly are the most professional, dedicated and caring people we could have found to work with.

Thank you so much to our clients, especially those who took a chance on a new, unknown vets and have been with us from the very beginning. Building relationships with you and your pets is the most enjoyable, rewarding part of what we do and why we turn up happy to work every day.

Many of you will have had a vet take a swab from your pet's ear to check under the microscope in the clinic. In case you've ever wondered what we see, this is one of the most common findings! Some of us describe them as looking like little peanuts 🥜 or snowmen ⛄. These are cells of a yeast called Malassezia pachydermatis.

This picture shows what FLEA DIRT looks like in a cat's fur.

These little black specks are actually the poo passed by the fleas, which live on the pets skin, biting them and feeding on their blood. It sounds a bit gross - but that's the reality of parasites!

Many pets will be very itchy and irritated by flea bites and some have an allergy to them and will become very sore indeed, often with damaged, infected skin caused by licking and scratching themselves. Others may show very little reaction to the bites at all and the flea dirt can be the only sign that they have a flea infestation.

The fleas themselves can be hard to spot as they are very small and move quickly, hiding within the fur. You can use a flea comb (similar to a nit comb) to check the fur for fleas and flea dirts to see if your pet may need treatment.

There are hundreds of products available that claim to deal with fleas and it can be a bit of a minefield trying to choose what to use.
Unfortunately many of them don't work very well, so if you feel like you're struggling to deal with a flea infestation it is worth seeing one of our vets for help before wasting more money on ineffective treatments.

Our Healthy Pet Club is designed to make it very easy and affordable to get rid of fleas (and keep them away!) To prescribe the highest quality, most effective treatments we will need to examine your pet first, but this appointment is included in the healthy pet club scheme.
