Meet Betty! This loveable ball of chaos came to Cedar Vets Alton as she was feeling under the weather after potentially eating something in the woods. Luckily after some fluids to rehydrate her and an X-ray to check nothing was stuck in her stomach she started feeling much better. Getting work done proved difficult as she just wanted cuddles!

Tortoises have a reputation for being slow, placid creatures but that is not the case!
One sunny summer’s day, the appropriately named Turbo, decided he fancied an adventure and managed to escape from his enclosure.
When his owner Claire returned home after work to discover him missing, she enlisted the help of some neighbours and they searched the local area for signs of his escape.
With no sign of Turbo, his owner turned to social media for help, asking friends and colleagues to be on the lookout for him and any posts about ‘found’ tortoises.
Later that evening he was found almost a kilometer from his home!
He was safe, in one piece, and reunited with his owner just a few minutes later all thanks to his microchip, plus of course the kindness of the lady that found him, and the vets for scanning him.
Tortoises are excellent climbers, move much faster than people assume and will happily roam great distances; just as they would in the wild. We see a surprising number of stray tortoises brought in to us each year and will always try to reunite them with their owners.
Microchipping is now a legal requirement for cats and dogs, but did you know other pets such as tortoises can be microchipped too? It is a good way of being able to identify them and forms part of responsible pet ownership.
Please do contact us today if you would like to discuss microchipping your pet!

We have some very exciting news to announce – but you’re going to have to wait until Sunday to find out more!
Stay tuned…
With the rotten weather in the UK currently you may be thinking of going abroad with your pet but what you need to do will depend on what country you’re going to!
When travelling to an EU country or Northern Ireland, your pet needs:
☀️ a microchip
☀️ a valid rabies vaccination
☀️ an animal health certificate, or a valid pet passport that’s accepted in the country you’re travelling to
☀️ tapeworm treatment for dogs if you’re travelling directly to Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway or Malta
Unfortunately pet passports issued in Great Britain are no longer valid
Please give the practice a call for more information regarding booking your pet in for an animal health certificate
