🎄 We hope you’ve had the most wonderful day! Our little buddy Elfred has made his way back to the North Pole until next year, we’ve polished off the Christmas dinner, our furry friends have had their festive treats… and now it must be time to start on the cheese board. 😉

We’d love to see any snaps you’ve taken of your pets today! Pop them below 👇

We tried very hard to get a photo of puppy Kylo, but he was just far too excited for his visit!! 😍

22/12/2025

😴 Shhh… Elfred is resting!

After a busy run-up to Christmas, even Santa’s helpers know when it’s time to slow down.

The festive season can be exciting, but it can also be a lot for our pets (and elves).
New routines, visitors, noise and late nights can all be tiring, so don’t forget to give your furry friends a quiet space to rest and recharge too 🐾💤

Elfred’s leading by example… Do Not Disturb! 🎄

20/12/2025

⭐ Elfred has taken over reception duties! ⭐

Today he’s reminding our lovely clients to leave us a review while he supervises from his post.

We’re not sure he’s qualified… but he’s very festive 🎅😂

Have you spotted Elfred around the practice yet?

19/12/2025

👀 Uh oh… Elfred’s been spotted stealing the Christmas toys again!

It seems he couldn’t resist checking out the festive goodies we have available for our patients this season 🧸🎄

From enrichment toys to treats, keeping pets entertained is a great way to help burn off energy and reduce stress during the busy Christmas period, even if it does attract the odd mischievous elf! 😄

And of course, a wide range of vet-approved food is available too.

Pop in and take a look… just don’t be surprised if Elfred is watching 👀✨

🎄✨ Elf Alert!

Elfred has been spotted hiding out in a Christmas plant… but is it a safe place to be for our pets?

Many popular festive plants can be toxic to our furry friends, including:
🌿 Poinsettias
🌿 Mistletoe
🌿 Holly
🌿 Ivy

While they make lovely decorations, curious paws (and elves!) can get into trouble if these plants are chewed or eaten.

🐾 Our festive advice:
✔ Keep Christmas plants out of reach of pets
✔ Sweep up fallen leaves or berries
✔ Contact us practice if you’re worried your pet has had a nibble

Let’s keep Christmas merry, bright, and pet-safe 💚🎅

No Elfred!!! That’s not yours and it’s not for pets either. 🤦🏻‍♀️

With more treats than ever around at this time of year please remember chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, and mince pies are off the menu for pets this Christmas.

For tasty treats they can enjoy, pop in to see us, we have lots of delicious options available. 😍
