Is your cat up to date with their vaccinations?
Cats are susceptible to Infectious Diseases which can have a serious effect on their health. Many of these diseases are viral infections, which can be life limiting or contribute to chronic illness.
We can help to protect your cat against cat flu and respiratory disease, feline infectious enteritis and feline leukaemia virus. These important diseases cause a range of clinical signs in cats and kittens including eye and mouth sores, inflammation of the respiratory system and gut, cancer and immunosuppression. Unsurprisingly, these complex diseases are difficult to manage and greatly impact the health of cats and kittens. Vaccinating gives you peace of mind and your cat the best protection in life.

🐾 Meet Talisker! 🐾
This lovely lady came to see us recently for a lump removal. Talisker might be a little older, but that doesn’t mean she gets any less TLC – every patient who comes through our doors, young or old, gets the same gold-standard care from our team.
From gentle handling to tailored anaesthetic plans, we make sure our senior pets are in the safest hands and as comfortable as possible every step of the way. 💛
Well done Talisker, you were a star patient 🐶✨

Keep your rabbit safe this summer.
Remember to make sure your rabbits hutch is cleaned regularly and their bottoms are also clean and dry.
Fly Strike is a horrible condition where flies lay eggs on their soiled coat or bedding which turn into maggots which will attack the rabbits skin & burrow deep into their body tissue.
We are offering a rabbit health check and fly Strike prevention for only £22!
Don't delay, book your appointment today!
If you would like any advise on this subject don't hesitate to get in touch 01946 878108
