Oak Flats Veterinary Clinic

Dr Ksenja Prejac Vucko and her team welcome you to Oak Flats Veterinary Clinic. Companion Animal Clinic Only. We are not Mixed/Farm animal vets.
(10)

Our highly experienced Vets look after Family Pets only and do it very well. We focus solely on small animal companion pets. This strict focus over many years, has allowed our vets to not only remain at the cutting edge of medical knowledge for our patients, but to in fact, often be the origin of new, safe and affordable treatments for many ill pets.
• Patient Welfare is at the heart of every co

nsult. Our staff understand how scary it is for you when your beloved family pet is unwell or has a special personality trait. Tell us if you yourself are concerned or if your pet has issues that make visiting a vet clinic a stressful event. OFVC Vets and Nurses want to work with our clients to try and make it so that all the pets feel safe and loved in our clinic if they have to visit.
• Your pets remain at the clinic premises where you dropped them off. Rest assured your pets are Not placed in veterinary cars or ambulances to be then driven, often with other animals, to another clinic site for their surgery or treatment before being driven back that evening to where you first dropped them off. Your pet's needs are all addressed on-site at our Oak Flats Vet clinic site.
• Oak Flats Vet Clinic is a Family run business. Your Veterinary fees are staying in the local community and supporting local workers Our vets did not dream as children to become a vet so as to satisfy the stock market; they became vets to be advocates on behalf of the animals they are privileged to have as their patients. Because our vet clinic is not a Stock Exchange listed Corporate Vet business that needs to make profits for the shareholders, our veterinary staff are not reviewed on how they meet daily financial targets. As a result, our staff can customise the care for each and every animal presented to us. The medical vet care for the pet becomes affordable for almost every family when our vets have the freedom to pick and select only what tests they feel need to be done for your particular pet.
• At Oak Flats vet clinic, you can book to see the same vet each time at the same place. You also do not have to go to multiple locations trying to get your favourite vet to see your pet. Oak Flats Vets work at Oak Flats only.

Its tick time !
Warmer weather with a dash of rain is the perfect mix for paralysis ticks to hatch and latch.

Prevention is best, please call in for a chat with our experienced nurses who can provide you with the most suitable purchase for your pet.

As a little bonus , both major suppliers of preventatives have a Xmas gift with each purchase.

Why not take the opportunity to bring your four legged friend with you for a weight in and a happy visit. 🐾🐾🐾

I Love Visiting My Vet Family Series:Why Vet staff Love Puppy Class for our Pets

This is why Vet staff love puppy school. Instead of a worried young dog returning to a vet clinic for the first time since a puppy, we have a dog who can't get in the door fast enough to find all 2 and 4-legged members of her Vet Clinic family. NEW CLASS STARTING THIS TUESDAY 12TH. TWO SPACES LEFT.

Another Zen moment (but watch with sound turned down)

HAPPY HOLE DIGGING by Dogs for Dinosaur Worms not for Boredom

More Joy, more Emotional Health-For Pets. Lucinda's lovely post below got me thinking about Dachs and then thinking about Dogs in general then about Cats and then this new drive in Vet med courtesy of UK Specialist Dr Sarah Heath about the Emotional Health and the Emotional Intelligence of our pet. Two weeks ago, another Dachs owner -Megan- sent me this truly insightful observation below she found on the internet. (Apologies to the original author-I have googled every way but can't find them to acknowledge them). What Megan's snippet does show is the emotional level on which our pets function. If we fail to acknowledge that, then we can put our pets in stressful terrifying situations for them, that unless life-saving, need to be avoided where possible. From my point of view-this Emotional Health/Intelligence concept reinforces what we should Not do as vets even if we Can do it. If the cat or dog on the table is so emotionally overwhelmed or frightened, then as vets we need to re-adjust our expectations and also the owner's expectations of what their cat or dog can tolerate at each visit. Just because we as vets can do lots to a pet, our "Job" as Vets is to know when and what Not to do to any given animal. Sometimes, a tiny % of owners don't understand that and see the vet as failing, when the vet backs off from a stressed cat say and does what the pet can tolerate, not what the owner wants. Bizarrely we did such a case recently, calmly and in an expanded triple length but normal price consultation, putting the emotional needs of the cat first.and minimising its stress before I vaccinated the cat, which we did, and then sent it home. The owner somehow came to the conclusion and made the accusation that cat has been 'banned' from our clinic-which came as a total surprise to the all vet staff -with the follow-on negative impact on the staff's emotional health. To avoid such confusion in the future, over the next few weeks, I hope to provide short posts on under
