We are pleased to share that £75 has been donated to Blue Cross UK from our charity sales during March and April. They were incredibly grateful for the support. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped contribute - your kindness truly makes a difference.

For the next couple of months, we’ll be supporting Schnauzerfest, a wonderful grant-giving charity that helps rescues, fosterers, and adopters by covering veterinary bills for Schnauzer dogs in need. 🐾

🌞 Hot weather can be tough on our furry friends! Keep pets happy and safe by making sure they always have access to fresh water, shady spots, and plenty of rest during the hottest parts of the day. 🐾

Remember - if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! Avoid midday walks and never leave pets in parked cars, even for a few minutes.

Stay cool and enjoy the sunshine safely! ☀️🐶🐱

We are open today for end of life care and urgent advice.

Keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date is one of the simplest ways to protect their health - and it can truly save lives. It’s easy to lose track of schedules, but staying on top of vaccines helps prevent serious, avoidable diseases.

If you’re unsure whether your pet is due, we’re here to help. Give us a call to book an appointment or to chat about any health concerns you may have.

⭐️ Ask us about our pet health club, which includes vaccine, health check and flea and wormer.
