🐾 Just a polite reminder 🐾

That we are currently running on a small amount of skeleton staff, so things will be slightly slower than normal. Our vets and nurse are still here caring for your pets but we’d really appreciate your patience and kindness while the team works incredibly hard behind the scenes.

If your request isn’t urgent, please allow a little extra time for replies and prescription collections.

Thank you for your cooperation 💛

💜 Mental Health Awareness Week 💜

From the 11 - 17th May, it’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we are here to spread some positivity amongst our clients about the importance of checking in with one another as clients, colleagues, family and friends 🫶🏻

Did you know pets have a huge boost on our mental health and we’d definitely be lost without them! They are a valued family member, a best friend and for some our only companion 🐶🐱

As well as the emotional benefits that owning a pet provide us, see below the other proven benefits! 💜

A Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) isn’t just a job title - it’s a professional qualification 👩🏻‍🎓

RVNs have completed extensive training, passed recognised exams and are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, meaning they follow strict professional standards and continue learning throughout their careers 📚

They play a vital role in your pet’s care:
🩺 monitoring anaesthetics and assisting in surgery
👩🏻‍⚕️ running clinics
❤️‍🩹 supporting recovery
🫶🏻 helping owners keep their pets happy and healthy

This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the skill, compassion and dedication our nursing team brings every single day.
