New rules on imported dogs starting 7th October.

From 7 October 2025, new rules will require mandatory pre-import testing for Brucella Canis for all commercial dog imports from Romania into Great Britain.

This protects both pets and people from Brucella Canis, with around 50% of all identified infections in Great Britain since 2020 coming from Romanian dog imports.

To protect you and your pet, only source your dogs from reputable breeders and rescue organisations. 🐕

‼️ BRIGG PRACTICE ‼️

Our microclinic at Brigg Garden Centre has been a nice place to see a few of our clients while our Ulceby practice was getting set up.

We are getting quite busy at Ulceby now and our home visits side of work still continues.

Although we are fond of our little Brigg Garden Centre branch we, sadly, have to close it permanently.

We want to keep offering you a high quality service whilst not stretching out our small team.

Thank you very much for all your support!❤️
We are looking forward to seeing you at Ulceby!

Can't beat an afternoon tea and cake. We're all fat as barrels now.🤭

Lovely Zahra❤️ came to see us for her post op check and have a photo shoot with our vets, Mihai and Cristina (although Zahra wasn't that impressed with all the fuss).

Her operation was the first one we performed in our brand new surgical theatre.🩺
Thank you all for your patience while we were setting everything up!🥰

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour. Those who are hurt or maimed are made strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content except for one small thing; they miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind

They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet you cling on joyous reunion, never to be apart again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands caress the beloved head and once more you look into the trusting eyes of your beloved pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…..
