Meet Socks and Milou 🐾

We had the pleasure of welcoming this adorable brother-and-sister duo to the practice this week for their neutering procedures and microchipping!

Why is feline neutering important? 🩺

Neutering is an essential part of keeping cats happy and healthy. It helps prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduces the risk of certain reproductive health conditions, and can minimise hormone-driven behaviours such as roaming and fighting.

It also plays an important role in preventing unplanned litters and helping to control the feline population.

We wish Socks and Milou a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing them both for their post-operative checks! 🤍

Meet Kelly! Our Directors’ Assistant, Clinic Nurse, Insurance Lead and Registered Veterinary Nurse! 🐾

Kelly works closely with Helen, Liam and Ben, providing valuable support to the team while managing our insurance claims and enquiries.

Alongside her administrative role, Kelly continues to nurse and particularly enjoys running desensitisation sessions. She works closely with clients and their dogs to help those who need a little extra time and reassurance feel more relaxed and confident during their visits.🦮

We were delighted to welcome these two adorable Dachshund puppies to the practice today for their first vaccinations, microchipping and health checks 🐾

Vaccinations help protect puppies against infectious diseases, while microchipping provides a reliable way to identify them and reunite them with their owners should they ever go missing. Both play an important role in protecting their health and wellbeing, helping to give them the healthiest and happiest start to life.

Wishing these two little ones all the very best as they settle into their new homes! 🤍

Crisp walks, colourful leaves and cosy evenings make autumn a beautiful time of year. However, the change in season can also bring a few hazards for our four-legged friends. 🍂

Here are some simple tips to help keep your pets safe, happy and healthy this autumn:

🍄 Wild mushrooms: Many wild mushrooms are poisonous to pets. Keep curious noses away and prevent your pet from sniffing or eating unfamiliar fungi.

🌰 Conkers & acorns: These can cause gastrointestinal irritation, intestinal blockages and, in some cases, poisoning if eaten. Take extra care when walking in parks and woodland areas.

🎆 Prepare for fireworks season: If your pet becomes anxious around fireworks, planning ahead can make a real difference. Creating a safe, quiet environment and seeking advice early can help reduce stress.

🐾 Ageing joints: Cooler weather may make signs of arthritis more noticeable. If your pet appears stiff, less mobile or reluctant to exercise, please contact our team for advice.

🔦 Stay visible on darker walks: As the evenings draw in, reflective collars, leads and clip-on lights can help keep both you and your pet safe and visible.

Please do not hesitate to contact the practice if you have any question or concerns 🍂
