As Veterinary Nurse awareness month comes to an end, we thought we'd share an insight into some of the important jobs our Veterinary nurses, Student Veterinary nurses and animal care assistants do on a daily basis. 🐶🐱

Veterinary nurses play a pivotal role in the running of any practice and we are lucky to have them as part of our team. 🩺

We thank you all for all your hard work and commitment to our practice and to patients. ❤️🐾

Meet Milo the puppy 🐾

Milo came in for his first vaccination last week and was as brave as can be! He’s also now signed up to the puppy plan, helping him get the best start in life with preventative care, health checks, and puppy support along the way.

Welcome to the family, Milo 💙🐶

Last week we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming two adorable ferrets, Sid and Sammy, into the practice 🐾💙

These curious little characters came in for their procedures; Sid for castration and Sammy for a Vasectomy and they handled their visits like total champs! From their playful personalities to their brave attitudes, they certainly kept our team smiling.

We’re happy to report that both boys are recovering well and are already back to exploring and causing their usual mischief at home 🐾
