Our practice is taking part in the 2024 Antibiotic Amnesty.

Throughout November 2024 we are asking pet owners to return any unused or leftover antibiotic medications to us for safe disposal. Please drop off any unused medications to us at
the practice. You can hand them in to a vet, nurse or the reception team. This medication might be left-over from a recent prescription, antibiotics that you didn’t need or out-of-date medication.

Let’s keep antibiotics working, together!

This snuggly boy Otis visited us a couple of weeks ago for neutering and microchipping and he absolutely loved all the attention from our smitten team 😻.

Did you know that from the 10th June 2024, all cats must be microchipped by law and can really improve the chances of reuniting with your favourite feline if they get lost.

Book your microchipping appointment with us today on: 01234 360343.

Yesterday was World Diabetes and were lucky enough to benefit from our very own Diabetes Ambassador.

Our Nurse Laura completed her Diabetes Ambassador training after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes herself so knows how daunting it can be to receive that diagnosis for yourself or your pet.

Learn more about how Laura supports our clients and patients and what her role as an Ambassador means to her;

'Being a Diabetes Ambassador allows me to discuss treatment with clients, demonstrate injections and discuss food to help our clients regulate their pets levels.

I give advice and discuss cases with the vets, apply sensors to Dogs and Cats so I can monitor their sugar levels for up to 2 weeks. This helps us to tailor insulin dosages for each pet and their individual needs. I am here to discuss any queries or offer any advise on food, clinical signs or worries for owners.

Having diabetes myself, I can really relate to the animals and know from personal experience how it feels to experience Hypos (low sugar) and Hypers (High Sugars). This allows me to explain to our clients what to look for in their pets.

We are here to help but it can be a costly condition that can fluctuate. There are also other conditions that Diabetic animals can be at a higher risk of getting like pancreatitis, Glaucoma and many more but regular check ups can help reduce these risks. One thing I wish our clients knew is that even though it is a hard struggle at the start with medication and routine change you can hopefully get your animal to a fairly stable level.'

If you're concerned that your pet is showing signs of diabetes, contact our friendly team today to book an appointment on: 01234 360343.

🐕‍🦺 Walk your dog early, whilst it's still light to avoid fireworks

🚪 Keep your pet in a separate room if they are bothered by knocking on the door
🐈‍⬛ Remember that not all pets like to wear costumes
🛏 Create a safe, cosy space where they can settle for the night
