🎊🎉Congratulations🎊🎉

To our lovely vet Matt who recently passed a post-graduate certificate in small animal dentistry. A lot of hard work in his spare time has gone into this certificate and this has meant he has now gained the post-nominals of PGCertDent(WBIS) on top of his current qualifications. Matt does love dentistry and this certificate has topped his passion. Well done Matt, your colleagues at Minster are proud of you and we hope you enjoy the celebratory beers too 🦷💚

To the animals lost in service, and to those who serve us today 💜

Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and purple poppies can be worn to remember the service of these animals and the lives that were lost.

⚠️ Antifreeze: Sweet-Tasting But Deadly

As the temperatures drop, many of us start using antifreeze in our cars… but did you know it’s one of the most dangerous winter toxins for pets?☠️

Antifreeze (which contains ethylene glycol) is often sweet-tasting to cats and dogs, but cats are most sensitive meaning even one teaspoon can be fatal.

📌 Key precautions:
- Store antifreeze well out of reach
- Clean up any spills immediately
- Don’t let your pet drink from puddles or driveways
- Avoid using products containing ethylene glycol - or better still any chemicals; try an ice scraper or windscreen cover instead.

⏱️ If you suspect your pet has licked or ingested antifreeze or screen wash, call us immediately. Time really is critical with this one.

Our Story

The Minster Veterinary Practice has been providing veterinary care to the pets of York for more than 100 years. Originally based in a converted townhouse in The Crescent, The Minster Veterinary Practice has expanded into one of York’s largest small animal practices.

The Minster Veterinary Practice has five branches at Crockey Hill, Willow Grove, Copmanthorpe and Haxby, and its main small animal hospital at Salisbury Road.

The Minster Veterinary Practice moved the main hospital to its current site at Salisbury Road in 1985. Originally poultry and equine were both treated at this site, but since 1998 Salisbury Road has been a dedicated small animal practice. In 2015, the Salisbury Road practice gained hospital status, the highest level of accreditation, from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
