The lovely Dexter popped in today for his Wellness check with our nurse, Natalie.

He absolutely loved his treats and Natalie made his visit extra special by giving him a relaxing groom with the KONG ZoomGroom. He enjoyed it so much that his owner bought him one of his own to use at home!

The KONG ZoomGroom for cats is a flexible rubber grooming tool designed to gently remove loose fur while massaging the skin. It helps reduce shedding, minimise hairballs, and can even lower stress by providing a soothing grooming experience.

We think Dexter looked very pleased with himself… and rightly so!

Beautiful Bella came in to see our Lead Nurse Gemma at our Warminster surgery today for her final post‑op check following her spay, plus her last laser therapy session!

She was so good, happily lying on the table. What a superstar patient!

Post‑operative laser therapy can help pets heal faster. Some of the benefits include:
🔹 Reduced inflammation
🔹 Less post‑surgery discomfort
🔹 Improved circulation to the surgical area
🔹 Quicker wound healing

Well done, Bella! 💚

Nurse Suture Workshop Success!

A big shout‑out to our Warminster Lead Vet Neil for hosting an excellent suturing workshop for our RVNs.

Our nurses showed off some seriously impressive skills and Neil is excited to continue developing Schedule 3 confidence and capability with the nursing team throughout the year.

Huge thanks also to Rosie for organising, and to George, Sarah and Annabel for hands‑on support and guidance during the practical sessions.

If you’re an RVN who loves Schedule 3 or you’re keen to grow your skills even further… we’re hiring! 👇

Vet Kate to the rescue! ✨

Poor Dulcie came in with a worrying history of gulping and sneezing. Under a general anaesthetic, our vet Kate was able to examine her thoroughly, and discovered a large blade of grass lodged in her right nostril!

Kate successfully removed the culprit, and after a smooth recovery Dulcie was soon tucking into some food and feeling much more comfortable.

We’re so glad she’s back to her happy self! 💚

This little hedgehog arrived feeling very lethargic, congested, and struggling with an upper respiratory infection. On top of that, he was carrying a huge number of ticks!

Our team nebulised him to help his breathing, removed all the ticks, and treated him for parasites. After a few days of TLC, he finally started to brighten up.

He’s now been transferred to Wiltshire Wildlife to continue his recovery, and when the other hedgehogs start to wake from hibernation, he’ll be released back into the wild where he belongs.

A big thank you to everyone who helps support local wildlife.. Little lives like his depend on it. 💚🦔

Not only was it Vivi the Maine Coon’s vaccination day, but it was also his very first birthday, which meant we had to pull out all the stops to make it memorable.

Naturally, that included serving our finest salmon pâté 😉

Kyra, the beautiful Flat Coat Retriever, recently visited us for her laparoscopic (keyhole) spay.

She was an absolute star patient and looked extremely smart modelling her pink bodysuit before heading home to start her recovery! 🐾

Laparoscopic spaying offers several benefits for patients, including smaller incisions, reduced post‑operative discomfort, and typically a faster return to normal activity.
