We are freshening up our reception area to try and make Jen and Alisons days brighter and more convenient when stocking food.
This might mean you might see a few extra people and there might be a little more noise than usual around the clinic.
We will ensure your pets appointment is still as quiet and stress free as possible during our renovation.
We are excited for the updates!

Meet Eddie, AKA Tinsel Tush. During the festive season we are reminded to keep your pets away from certain foods and chocolate we have around. Often we forget there are a lot of shiny new decorations and objects around that may catch our pets eye! Eddie ate some Christmas garland and luckily, as we see here, it made it all the way through! Objects like this can cause a lot of damage to the stomach and intestines if they get stuck and often leads to emergency surgery to remove . Eddie had a quick visit and gets to enjoy his Christmas with his family. Be sure to keep an eye on your pets around new objects and decorations and enjoy your holiday season!

Sadie is dancing into the weekend!
Check out what we had at the clinic yesterday! This video was taken through our microscope. Any guesses what it is? It's a louse! Even in the cold months of the year our pets are susceptible to parasites. Ask us how you can help prevent your furry friends from getting infested with parasites.
