Walmer Veterinary Hospital

Walmer Veterinary Hospital The aim of this page is to give you some insight into the philosophy and principles at Walmer Vet Please be assured of our best service at all times.

To get the most out of veterinary science one cannot only look at the clinical facts obtained from examining the animal alone. The synergism created when the owner, the vet and the animal all becomes part of the problem solving process has huge advantages. We therefore believe that it is imperative that we have an individual relationship with each of our clients and their pets/animals. It makes a

holistic approach to problem solving much easier and more attainable. We therefore encourage our clients to see the vet(s) of their choice during consultations, especially where follow-up consultations are needed. This, however, is only possible at a practice where staff turnover is low, and where the practice strikes a balance between having enough vets to cope with the work load, and having too many so that this individual approach is no longer possible. The same scenario is true for the rest of our staff – we want our clients to feel part of our practice, and feel at home with people that they know and trust. It will come as no surprise that the four vets at Walmer Vet have been there for an accumulative total of more than a hundred years, with most of the reception staff and hospital staff unchanged for the past fifteen years. It is a humbling realization that some of our clients have been with the practice longer than ourselves (Walmer Vet was established in 1964), and we find it especially rewarding that the boys and girls of yesterday often become clients of tomorrow. We hope and trust that we will meet your expectations at Walmer Vet. Veterinarians :

Why do dogs dig ...
Dogs dig for various reasons. It may be because they are seeking a cooler spot, searching for prey, want to hide a treasure, or are lacking mental and physical stimulation and, as a result, are bored. They may also dig when they are anxious and are seeking attention from their owners.
It is important to provide your dog with regular physical and mental stimulation. Long leisurely walks and playing with them are always firm favorites.
A good idea would also be to take your dog to a school for training and socialisation.

Petey is a handsome 1.5-year-old boy who arrived at the shelter as a 10-week-old pupper and has been waiting ever since!
He has NEVER had a home and his biggest wish is to know what it’s like to have a family of his very own!
Petey ticks ALL the boxes for the most PAWfect family friend: he is social, sweet, super-playful and he could easily live with children and cats! Talk about an all-rounder.
He would absolutely LOVE to have a playmate too, so a home with other pets would be a dream come true!

The charming ear tilt
Dogs naturally tilt their heads to focus on sounds and to hear better. This often happens when they are concentrating on a voice or other noises.
Dogs also tilt their heads to show interest or curiosity, especially when interacting with humans.
However, if your dog is tilting his head and it's not associated with the above explanations, then it is advisable to take him for a medical check-up.
