Meet Maggie 🩷

Maggie is a Cockapoo which is a lovely mix of 2 fantastic breeds. Both the Poodle and Cocker Spaniel are known for their intelligence: Poodles rank number 2 (sandwiched between the Border Collie at number 1 and German Shephers at number 3), and Cocker Spaniels rank number 20.

No wonder Maggie’s as clever as she is cuddly!

Imagine inviting your clients to take a seat in the consulting room, and instead, the patient decides to sit on the chair! 😂

That's exactly what happened when Reilly, the 80kg Irish Wolfhound, visited our lovely nurse, Abi, for his appointment yesterday!

Thanks for bringing such a big smile to our faces, Reilly! 😁

Happy Monday from us & Roo!

Although we start the week with slightly cooler weather, we still hope you and your pets stay as cool as possible and exercise caution when out and about on walks. 🐾

Roo belongs to Steve, our ambulance driver.
She may be nearly 14 years old, but she is certainly young at heart! 😍

Our nurse, Tracy, has been busy keeping her cats cool during the heatwave.

Mia particularly enjoyed the frozen Lick-e-Lix treat! 😻

Say hello to little Raffy! 🐾

This gorgeous 12-week-old Bengal mix came in today to be microchipped — and with a little Lick-e-Lix distraction, he didn’t even notice! What a star ⭐

It’s a hot one today! Raffy would like to give a gentle reminder to keep your pets cool and safe in this warm weather:

✔️ Ensure they always have access to fresh water
✔️ Avoid walking dogs during the hottest part of the day
✔️ Never leave animals in parked cars, even for a short time
✔️ Create shaded areas if your pets are outside

Stay safe and cool, everyone — including your furry family members! 💦

Meet Polly, our Finance Administrator Chloe’s adorable pup and an honorary member of the team!

Whenever she visits the office, Polly makes a beeline for reception — she knows exactly where the treat jar is kept and never misses a chance to charm her way to a snack. 🩷

Last night, we held the first of our Staff CT CPD Information Evenings, led by our vet, Matt, and nurse, Anna.

The event included a tour of our brand new CT Department, followed by an excellent presentation to many of our team members in the newly refurbished Loft Meeting Room, which sits directly above our CT Scanner.

This light and bright space is a remarkable transformation from the dusty, cluttered storage area it once was.

We are looking forward to doing it all again with more team members in a few weeks time!

⚠️ HEATSTROKE WARNING ⚠️

Temperatures are expected to rise to 30+ degrees today and continue over the weekend. We urge pet owners to walk their dogs only early in the morning or late at night. If you’re unsure whether it’s too hot, it’s safer to avoid walking your dog altogether during a heatwave. Letting them outside for toilet breaks will not harm them for a few days, but it will help keep them safe.

Remember: If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! 🐾

The most common signs of heatstroke in pets before they collapse or go into shock include:

• Drooling
• Excessive panting
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Rapid heart rate
• Weakness
• Seizures

Small furry pets living outdoors must have access to shade and fresh water. We recommend moving their hutches to a cooler location, using a parasol, and draping a large towel over their run to provide shelter from the sun.

Don’t forget: Heatstroke can lead to rapid deterioration. If you have any concerns about your pet, please don’t hesitate to CALL US STRAIGHT AWAY at your usual surgery number.

Stay cool! 😎

Charlie Bear’s Kong toy, filled with delicious Royal Canin puppy food, was such an effective distraction during his 2nd vaccination that he didn’t even notice the needle! 😍
