🎃October is here, and so we introduce our ✨ Newest Star Patient Of The Month ⭐Max⭐

Max is only 4 years old and had a history of limping for quite some time.

As a first step, he was advised to go on a diet to improve many aspects of his life. At his heaviest, on this day last year, Max weighed a whopping 17kg!! - We are so proud to announce he has already lost an incredible 5kg, which brings him down to his goal weight of 12kg!🤩

And, even better, he is no longer limping!

Well done Max, and an even bigger well done to Max's family👏🏼 Does he look good!😍

Senior pet nurse clinics – weight assessment 💜

Being overweight is linked to many health problems like diabetes and heart disease, and ultimately leads to a reduced lifespan.

Obesity also has a negative effect on arthritis. Not only does carrying extra weight increase pressure on the joints, but fat tissue releases inflammatory markers that increase joint inflammation.

Our new senior pet nurse clinic includes a weight assessment, body condition score and advice on feeding plans and exercise management to help keep your pet at a healthy weight. Contact us to check your pet’s eligibility and book your clinic appointment today.

Ask us about our Well Pet Blood Screens 💜

Regular routine blood screening can help to detect ‘hidden’ disease early. Your Well Pet Blood Screen will:
• Screen for conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes
• Help us to identify early signs of disease such as anaemia, electrolyte imbalances and protein loss

Well Pet Blood Screens are designed for pets with no outward signs of disease. They are available in conjunction with routine vaccination, six month health check, or senior pet clinic attendance.

Members of the Healthy Pet Club receive a 20% discount on the cost of screening - for more information and the full list of benefits: vetcollection.co.uk/health-plans-and-products/healthy-pet-club/

Your pet deserves special care as they get older. Our new Senior Pet nurse clinic for dogs and cats aged 7+ is here to give you peace of mind.🥰

An examination and some simple tests can detect chronic health conditions before symptoms appear. There might be easy changes you can make at home to reduce the impact of aging on your pet.

The senior pet nurse clinic includes:
• Examination by a Veterinary Nurse
• Weight check/body condition score
• Dental check
• Urine test
• Blood pressure measurement
And much more

This comprehensive health check offers huge a saving compared to booking consultations and diagnostic tests separately.

🍂September is here, and so we say hello to our ✨Star Patient Of The Month, Charlie ✨

Charlie is 17 and a half years old so for that alone we think he deserves the Star title 🌟

We see Charlie monthly for his librela injections - usually he can be a little bit worried, but he didn't even notice his most recent jab.. he was too distracted by the tasty liver paste!
Charlie is in fabulous condition for his age and every time we see him, we are amazed by his impressive ears! He's ever such a happy chap and enjoys plodding along at his own pace🐾
