Dear Willow came in today for her health check. She came to puppy parties at Mildmay when she was tiny and it just goes to show how useful the parties are for creating confidence and lasting good memories of the practice.
Willow pulled to get in! She sat patiently waiting for her appointment, stood perfectly for her examination and was very excited to receive lots of treats and cuddles.
Well done Willow!

The month of May is officially National Smile Month, which we consider to be the perfect time to share joy and positivity and show off those pearly whites. Keeping teeth in tip-top condition is not just important for humans, but for pets too, and that’s why our trained vets and nurses offer full dental checks at our practices. We recommend pets have regular dental check ups to prevent diseases that can otherwise be difficult to detect at home.

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them.

An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV).

Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

Flystrike can be a fatal disease as it develops rapidly. It is more common throughout the warmer months, when it is essential to check your rabbit’s back and ge****ls twice daily. Being overweight, arthritic, or having caecotrophs stuck around the back end all increase the risk of fly strike. If you are concerned that your rabbit is showing signs, you need to take immediate action. Find out more on our website https://www.vetcollection.co.uk/health/conditions/flystrike/
