This is Manny, who had to visit us over the Christmas period as he had eaten some raisins and chocolate! Any amount of grapes or any of their dried counterparts, such as raisins can be highly toxic, as can chocolate. Manny's owner's called us straight away, and he was brought in to see us, and vomiting was induced. He was given fluids and had blood tests to ensure there was no damage to his kidneys. Manny says, please keep human foods away from your pets!

Sunday Smile! A slightly different Sunday Smile this week. We had a dove that was struggling to fly handed in to us a few weeks ago by a member of the public. They went to a fosterer for a wildlife rescue. We have since been sent a lovely photo of the dove, with a pigeon friend, and they are doing really well!

Dental disease in cats and dogs

Dental disease is common in cats and dogs – it is estimated that 4 out of 5 pets over the age of 3 years have evidence of gum disease. Daily dental care at home with regular check-ups and professional treatment as needed is just as important for our pets as it is for us.

Acorn House Veterinary Surgery offers outstanding dental care.

Brand new dental suite completed January 2016.

The only practice in Bedford with dental radiography - teeth can be fully evaluated above and below the gums.

Exceptional hospital and anaesthetic care included as standard - separate cat and dog wards, 24 hour nursing care, anaesthetic blood test, blood pressure monitoring and intraoperative fluids for every case.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Out-of-hours health and safety protocols do not allow us to open the door without prior arrangement.

As part of the Royal Veterinary College’s (RVC) commitment to the expansion of its capacity for teaching companion animal general practice and to enhance specialist practice caseloads, the College is delighted to announce that on the 1st July it will acquire, through a wholly owned subsidiary - RVC Veterinary Practices Ltd - Acorn House Veterinary Hospital in Bedfordshire. The organisation will continue to trade under its current name.

Acorn House Veterinary Hospital, based in Bedford, offers a comprehensive range of veterinary services within its specialist modern facilities, which includes two operating theatres, an in-house laboratory and five specialised consulting rooms. The practice currently has a team of nine vets, 16 nurses, a kennel assistant, a practice manager, a practice administrator, a dispensary manager and seven customer care assistants.

Stuart Reid, Principal at the RVC, said: “We have been hugely impressed with the dedication and commitment of the Acorn House team members to delivering high quality veterinary medicine and patient care, as well as to maintaining client satisfaction and staff wellbeing, values that are similarly embedded at the RVC. “We look forward to working with them to ensure that the RVC’s clinical services and teaching opportunities continue to be amongst the best in the world.”

David Church, Deputy Principal at the RVC, said: “I’m excited to oversee this new venture which will not only complement the RVC’s current high quality primary care and general practice services but also provide enhanced opportunities for us to better educate the veterinarians and veterinary nurses of the future.”

Sheldon Middleton, on behalf of Acorn House Veterinary Hospital, said: “The acquisition of Acorn House Veterinary Hospital by the RVC is a perfect fit to maintain the ethos and standards of the practice and build on what our excellent team has already achieved. We look forward to growing and developing further with the support of the RVC.”
