If you have pet insurance and you would like to claim for treatment costs, we are more than happy to assist with this. We can offer direct claims in certain circumstances; however, this would need to be pre-agreed with the insurance company and the directors of the practice in advance. We charge a small administration fee for submitting claims, both direct and indirect. Please speak to a member of the team for further information.

Little Bruno visited Vet Lucy as his dedicated owner had noticed he wasn't himself and passing red coloured urine.

Whilst a red pigment to guinea pig’s urine can be a normal feature, a urine sample was obtained and confirmed the presence of blood and bacteria. He was promptly started on medication and we are happy to say he is recovering well.

Guinea pigs can make amazing pets, and all the staff at Boroughbridge Vets enjoy seeing these cheeky little creatures!

Lambing season is in full swing, so please remember to keep your dogs on leads whilst going near sheep and lambs- no matter how good you perceive your dogs recall or behaviour is!

Even the calmest and friendliest of dogs can worry and distress livestock. Livestock worrying is a criminal offence and owners may be liable to prosecution and fines. Under the Animals Act 1971, dogs may be shot if caught worrying sheep. Chasing can cause extreme stress, miscarriage and injuries to livestock.

Please also ensure you pick up your dog's poo and are up-to-date with worming treatment to prevent worm infestation of lambs and sheep.

Thank you for being responsible dog owners and protecting livestock and the countryside.

Dog Theft Awareness Day 2025 is organised by the Stolen and Missing Pets Alliance (SAMPA). The day aims to raise awareness of the number of dogs that are stolen every year, with 4,403 theft cases between 2019 and 2023.

Below are a few ways to keep your beloved pet safe:

Microchipping: Make sure your dog is microchipped and that it is up to date with your latest information. You should also ensure their collar contains information such as your mobile number and address, just in case they’re found and you need to be contacted.

What’s in a name? While your dog’s collar should have your contact details, make sure you don’t include your dog’s name on here as this could make it easier for thieves to lure them in and convince anyone else that they’re the rightful owner.

Vary your walks: Try and walk in different locations at different times. Some thieves may aim to track your dog and may be waiting on a popular route. You should always be aware of your surroundings, and be mindful if someone stops you and starts asking questions about your dog. If you can, train your pet to respond to commands and not to go with strangers, which can be a crucial factor in preventing pet theft.

Never leave your dog out of sight: Don’t leave your dog tied up outside of shops, or out of your view when in the garden or alone in the car. If your dog spends a lot of time in the garden or any outdoor space, make sure it’s secure and check for any gaps in the boundaries of your garden, you could also consider fitting a bell to the gate so you can hear it opening and closing.

If your dog is stolen, the first thing you should do is call the police on 999 and report it as a case of theft, not a lost animal, and make sure you get a crime reference number.

Then you can report the theft to the microchip database, which means that if anyone tries to re-register your dog, you will be notified. Also, spread the word that your beloved pooch is lost, the more people know and the faster you act, the better your chances of getting your dog back home.

If you think she might be yours, please contact the practice on 01423 900449. Proof of ownership will be required.

Tips to keep your pets safe this Easter

The abundance of chocolate at Easter poses a threat to our pets. Chocolate is poisonous due to its theobromine content. The darker the chocolate, the higher the theobromine concentration, and the higher the potential risk to our pets, if ingested.

If you are planning an Easter egg hunt or have lots of Easter chocolate treats around the house, please make sure they are well out of reach of your pets, and all eggs are accounted for before you let your pet play in the garden.

Hot cross buns and simnel cake, although delicious for us, contain raisins, currants, and sultanas, all of which are potentially toxic to our four-legged friends. They can cause sickness and diarrhoea and, in some cases, kidney failure.

Basket grass and small toys can be harmful when ingested. They can cause intestinal trauma and blockages that could require surgery to remove and repair. Cats, for reasons unknown to us, are attracted to long and thin decorations, of which the basket grass is similar.

Whilst lilies are known to be toxic to our pets (especially cats), other seasonal plants, including daffodils, tulips and foxgloves can also cause damage. Please ensure that any flowers in the house are kept at height and any flowers in the garden (including the bulbs) are monitored closely for any signs of ingestion.

Bunnies and chicks are animals who require a lot of specific care and love. They should NOT be given as an impulse gift for Easter no matter how cute you think it might be- thousands are abandoned each year due lack of awareness of care, dedication and commitment that is needed to raise them. If you are considering these kinds of pets, please research it thoroughly before making that decision.

All the staff at Boroughbridge Vets wish you a happy Easter! Please be aware of the seasonal changes to our opening hours.

International Women’s Day 2025

It is International Women’s Day and we want to celebrate the 49% of the world as we, as a team, are predominantly female.

Many of us have children, even grandchildren, and strive to achieve a balance between working and contributing to society, with duties at home. Whilst this isn’t always an easy task, or achievable for some, we want to honour the women of this world, especially our team, with all that they do, both at home and in the workplace.

The theme for 2025 is "Accelerate Action," which emphasises the importance of strategic efforts to promote gender equality.

For some background information, Katy and Fiona, have a combined 45 years of veterinary experience behind them. They chose to leave a practice when they were bought out by a corporate business, where they felt their autonomy over their work was significantly compromised. That is when the idea for Boroughbridge Vets started. It took two and a half years from idea to fruition, but in July 2023, they opened their doors. They have started with a trusted team of women who all strive to work exceptionally hard, and many of whom are continually studying to improve their skills and advance their knowledge. Every team member has specific skills that helps to keep every day running smoothly.

Vets, until the past 3 decades, have always had a male bias whilst veterinary nurses have always had a female bias. Times are changing, and females now represent more than 60% of the veterinary profession. We all feel very lucky that we get to work in a profession that nurtures progression and upskilling and have embraced women’s ability to thrive in such a career. We all get a huge amount of job satisfaction and love the relationships that we get to build with our patients and clients. We hope that our love of the profession is evident in all our interactions with our clients. You all play an integral part in making our careers fulfilling.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been confirmed at a premises near Thirsk, Thirsk and Malton, North Yorkshire.
A 3km Protection Zone (PZ) and 10km Surveillance Zone (SZ) have been put in place around the premises.

All bird keepers in these areas must keep their birds housed to protect them from bird flu. This applies to pet birds, commercial flocks and just a few birds in a backyard flock.

All bird keepers should remain vigilant and follow the housing and stringent biosecurity measures in addition to following any Protection/Surveillance Zone restrictions in their area to prevent future outbreaks.

Meet the team! We are happy to officially introduce our newest Veterinary Surgeon, Amy BVM BVS MRCVS. You may have seen her during your recent consultations as she gets to know the team and the practice.

I’m Amy, the newest Vet here at Boroughbridge Vets having recently moved to the area. I’m enjoying getting to know all our lovely clients and exploring all Yorkshire has to offer! I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2024.

In my free time I can usually be found doing something outside - running, cycling or hiking…and then eating lots of good food afterwards!
