Happy World Veterinary Day! 🐾

Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible team at Vitalvet 💪🤩

Being a veterinarian is so much more than a job, it’s a calling. It’s the late-night emergency calls, the complex surgeries, the gentle comfort offered to nervous pets, and the tireless advocacy for those who cannot speak for themselves.

To our amazing Vets, thank you for your expertise, your steady hands, and your enormous hearts 🙌

Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lives? It’s a heartbreaking statistic, especially with more reports of stolen pets, open gates, and pets simply losing their way home 🥰

This National Pet ID Week (17 - 23 April), we’re on a mission at Vitalvet to make sure every pet has a ticket back home. Don't wait for an accident to happen, give yourself peace of mind with these layers of protection:

🔸 Instant ID Tags: Choose from a selection of tag designs for your pet, with your contact details added to the back.

🔸 Microchips: It’s a quick, painless procedure that ensures your contact details are always with your pet. If they ever end up at a shelter or vet, a quick scan brings them back to you.

Visit any of the Vitalvet branches to secure your pet's safety with an Instant ID tag and a microchip.

Little Luna had quite the scare after ending up under a car’s tyres, but true to her terrier spirit, she proved just how tough she is!

Sadly, amputation was the only option, but Dr Helen stepped in and gave Luna a second chance at a happy, pain-free life. She has been one of the happiest little inpatients we’ve ever had – full of love, tail wags, and courage. We absolutely adored having her with us 🐾

Now she’s all healed up and heading home just in time for her mom’s wedding 💍 what perfect timing!

Wishing Luna and her wonderful family a lifetime of happiness 💕

Just look at this majestic girl! Sunshine made herself right at home on our reception desk while her mom was stocking up on her food. With those incredible ear tufts and striking eyes, she definitely had the whole team's attention! 😻

Our dear friend Mollie, a regular here at Vitalvet, had a bit of a rough day! She popped in to see us after hurting her nail during her latest adventures.

Nail injuries can be surprisingly painful for dogs, but Mollie handled it well. After a little TLC from our team, she’s back on all four paws and ready to head home 😄

Raya gave everyone a bit of a scare and a lot of laughs! She decided a local frog looked like a tasty snack and had to pay a visit to Dr. Awie 🐸

Luckily, Raya is doing just fine and spent her recovery time exactly where she belongs: in reception, getting all the extra love and head scratches from our team! 🥰
