Bunnies are wonderful companions, but they have very specific needs to help them stay happy and healthy.

Here are a few bunny care essentials:

👉 Companionship from other rabbits, as bunnies are social animals.

👉 Plenty of space to hop, stretch, dig, forage and show their natural behaviours.

👉 Environmental enrichment, such as tunnels, toys, hides and safe things to chew.

👉 A rabbit-friendly diet, with lots of good-quality hay or grass, fresh leafy greens and a measured amount of pellets.

👉 Regular veterinary care, including vaccinations and flystrike prevention.

🐾💖 Why does continuity of care matter? 💖🐾

When your pet isn't feeling their best, seeing a familiar face can make all the difference.

At our independent practice, continuity of care means your pet is cared for by a team who knows them, understands their history, and is invested in their wellbeing ❤️

✨ We know their medical records
✨ We understand their individual needs
✨ We can spot subtle changes in their health
✨ We build lasting relationships with both pets and their humans

And because we provide our own out-of-hours care, if your pet needs us overnight or in an emergency, you'll still be cared for by our own team, right here at our own practice 🌙🩺

At Watkins + Tasker Vets, it is about supporting you and your adored pet through every stage of life 🐶🐱🐰🐔🦆🐢🐍🦎

🏆✨ WHAT A DAY! ✨🏆

We are incredibly proud to share that we were crowned Best Vets in Somerset at the BestUKVets Awards! 🎉🐾

To make the day even more special, we were also recognised among the Top 25 veterinary practices in the UK, and each one of our practices was shortlisted for an award – an achievement that truly reflects the dedication and passion of our entire team.

Representing us at the awards ceremony were Steve (Vet and Owner), Kat (Reception Team Leader), Jess (Registered Veterinary Nurse), and Gina (Practice Management Assistant), who enjoyed a fantastic day at the beautiful Thames Rowing Club in London. ✨

These awards are particularly meaningful because they are based on client feedback and experiences, making this recognition even more rewarding. We are so grateful to our wonderful clients for their trust, support, and kind words.

A huge thank you to every member of our team for their hard work, compassion, and commitment to providing exceptional care every single day. This award belongs to all of you. ❤️

It’s Rabbit Awareness Week, and this year, Bernstein is here to help us with the topic of feeding bunnies better!

A healthy rabbit diet helps support their teeth, digestion and overall wellbeing. The best bunny diet should include:

👉 Lots of good-quality hay or grass, which should make up 85%+ of their diet

👉 A small portion of fresh leafy greens each day

👉 A measured amount of rabbit pellets, less than 5% of their diet

👉 Fresh water available at all times

Little changes can make a big difference to your rabbit’s health and happiness.

If you need help with your bunnies’ care, get in touch with us!

Father’s Day is just around the corner and is the perfect excuse to make memories with the pets who make every day brighter.

Whether you’re celebrating a dog dad, cat dad, bunny dad or reptile dad, there are lots of pet-friendly ways to include them:

👉 Plan a gentle walk or garden playtime

👉 Take a family photo together

👉 Set aside time for cuddles, playing or a favourite game

👉 Let them “help” open cards and presents, as long as they’re safe to sniff

How are you including your pets this Father’s Day?
