Ending the month on a puppy high ❤️
These beautiful pups were welcomed earlier this month by their new mother, Coco, arriving via C-section when labour stalled. All four of the Pomeranian pups are thriving, and Coco is proving to be an exceptional mother.

Throughout the month of June we are pleased to announce our neuter clinic featuring a 10% discount off all cat and dog castrate and spay procedures* AND a complimentary starter pack of Hills pet food.

Post- neutering, hormonal changes and increased appetite can lead to weight gain.  Statistics show that over 50% of cats and dogs in the UK are overweight or obese.

Please enquire about the suitability for your pet to be neutered as age and hormonal factors can alter our recommendation.

Stunning Bailey visited us today for a castrate, isn't he beautiful? 💙
A castration procedure is performed around 4 - 6 months of age. It is a routine operation and they can go home the same day. The benefits of neutering your cat is reducing roaming, fighting, eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and prevents unplanned litters.

🐴 Strangles Awareness Week 2026 🐴

This week aims to promote awareness of this highly contagious equine infection. Strangles is caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus equi equi which causes respiratory disease. It is transmitted by direct contact between horses but also indirectly via contaminated surfaces, equipment or water.

What are the signs of strangles?

🦠 Green nasal discharge
🦠 Swollen glands under the neck
🦠 High temperature
🦠 Inappetence
🦠 Lethargy
🦠 Struggling to breathe

What do I need to do if I suspect my horse has strangles?

⚠️Isolate any horse suspected of having strangles to prevent transmission.
⚠️Any horse that has been in contact should be notified and isolated.
⚠️General biosecurity should be followed

How can we stop the spread of strangles?

☣️ Prevent mixing with unknown horses
☣️ Isolation of new horses to a yard for at least 3 weeks
☣️ Testing for strangles before moving yards to identify carriers
☣️ Regular monitoring of temperature
☣️ Vaccination against strangles

We now offer vaccinations against strangles, if you would like more information please give us a call 01347 838888
