🌟🐾 MEET THE TEAM 🐾🌟

Rachel Robinson BVM&S MRCVS

“After qualifying from Edinburgh University in 1997, I have worked in small animal practice, mainly in the East Riding, ever since.

I joined the friendly team at End Cottage in February of this year. I enjoy meeting the clients and their pets, and helping them in the best way possible. I love the variety of work and the challenges of first opinion practice.

At home, we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit and a box turtle, so I can appreciate how our
pets are truly members of our families. Millie, who is in the photo, is our Jack Russell who we rehomed from Hull Animal Welfare 15 years ago.

In my spare time, I have a wide variety of interests, from dog walks and gardening, to theatre, concerts and art galleries”

Thinking about neutering your pet?

It’s a simple step with big benefits, from preventing unwanted litters to supporting their long-term health and behaviour.

Not sure when to do it? 🐶🐱 Our vets can help you find the perfect timing for your pet.

We are working closely alongside a local fosterer to find loving homes for 2 cats. Please
share this post if you can.

Humphrey is a black and white domestic shorthair, approx 6 months old. He can be timid with new people and is wary of strange noises until he gets used to them. Humphrey then turns into a complete love bug! He loves to snuggle and play as well as being groomed and most of all, being given treats! Humphrey will need an understanding household that can encourage him to experience new things as well as reward his confidence as he grows. It is suggested that a child-free home would be appropriate, but he seems to enjoy the company of another cat.

Rowena is a beautiful seal bi-colour Ragdoll around 18 months of age. She has been living as a stray for a few months. She has very little socialisation but the Ragdoll instinct to enjoy human attention is slowly coming through. She has begun to initiate contact and will happily take treats out of your hand. She enjoys being groomed and is very partial to chin scritches! Rowena needs a calm and understanding home, preferably with someone at home most of the time. Being a Ragdoll, she will need to be an indoor-only girl or have access to a secure catio-type area. She will benefit hugely from being encouraged to take small steps to improve her confidence and will need someone able to take the time to bring her round – she certainly has the potential to be a lap-cat! She enjoys the company of other cats, but it is felt that children would not be a good fit for her.

They have both been neutered and chipped. An adoption fee will apply. If you are interested in re-homing either of these cats the please call us on 01430 431758 to meet with the fosterer and Humphrey/Rowena. Thank you 😊

Did you know, in the UK pets must be safely restrained in a car?🚗

It’s not just the law, it’s for their protection and yours. With the school run now back and more people in cars, we wanted to share some top tips for travelling with pets.

🐱🐾 Cat Neutering Offer for the Month of October! 🐱🐾

Attention all cat and kitten owners! We're excited to announce that for the month of October, we will be offering a discounted price of 15% off all cat neuters (both castration and spay).

📅 Key details:
The offer will run from 1st - 31st October 2025, and will be on a first come first served basis until we reach capacity. We are able to neuter kittens from 4 months of age (16 weeks old) weighing around 1.8kg. Appointments will be throughout the working week Monday - Friday. Please contact us as soon as possible on 01430 431758 to secure an appointment.

There are many benefits to neutering your cat. It will:
🐈 Reduce fighting and aggression, further reducing the risk of cat bite related injuries
🐈 Reduce urine spraying and weaken the smell of their urine
🐈 Reduce the risk of roaming (subsequently reducing the risk of them being involved in an RTA)
🐈 Reduce the risk of them contracting disease such as FIV and FeLV
🐈 Prevent the risk of testicular and ovarian cancers
🐈 Prevent unwanted pregnancies

Winnie and Teddy, adorable long haired kittens, were in with us last week for neutering 🥰

Is your four-legged companion showing signs of slowing down?

As pets age, their needs change and some signs of ageing can be easy to miss. From changes in appetite to trouble with stairs, these little things matter.

Oscar the Cavalier came into us on Monday after he developed a swelling on his lower lip. Oscar required a general anaesthetic for us to be able to investigate the cause of the swelling, as the area was very sore and painful.

Once the area was clipped and prepared, Vet Laura managed to find a grass seed which was lodged inside a small wound on his lip. The area was cleaned and flushed with saline to ensure there were no more foreign bodies that had tracked up into the wound.

Oscar received pain relief and antibiotics and is feeling much better!

Grass seed related injuries are something we see in practice very regularly. They are often sharp and barbed which means once they pe*****te the skin, they can become embedded very quickly and cause painful swellings and infections. We advise that you check your dogs fur after walks, especially around their eyes, ears, mouths, footpads and their ‘armpit’ region.

Signs to look out for include: shaking of the head, scratching or licking at an area of the body, sneezing, lameness and irritated eyes.

Oscar is pictured below with our student veterinary nurse, Alicia 😊🐾

🌟🐾 MEET THE TEAM 🐾🌟

Andrea Abba - Head RVN

“I joined End Cottage in 2005 as a receptionist. In 2013 I decided to take the leap into Veterinary Nursing, qualifying with a Diploma in 2015. I later became Head Nurse in 2018.

I really enjoy nurse clinics and building up a rapport, getting to know our clients and their pets. I run osteoarthritis clinics which are designed to improve your pets care at home, in order for them to live more comfortably.

In 2021, I qualified as a Hydrotherapist in Advanced Treadmill Techniques. Although I no longer do this, my passion remains in rehabilitation for pets that have undergone orthopaedic surgery, providing them with a well suited and specific rehab and physio plan.

I have two dogs, Nellie and Lottie. In my spare time, I enjoy walks on the beach and the countryside”

A bit of a different post from us this evening -
Vet Caz has been judging at the Veteran Horse Society - National Championships at Arena UK today as part of The Weigh to Win campaign.

Since keeping horses at a healthy weight is one of the biggest welfare concerns for them (similar to other animals), The Horse Trust along with equine vets are raising awareness of the importance of a healthy body condition score by rewarding owners whose horses have the healthiest weight.

Caz has a background as an equine vet for many years prior to joining the the team at End Cottage, Caz is well placed to be able to judge this campaign and today judged four classes selecting the winner from the lineup 🙂
