✏️ Enzo was clearly getting ready to go back to school when he chewed on a pencil. Unfortunately it got stuck across the roof of his mouth so had to be sedated to have it safely removed and to check for any injuries.
**FOUND** Julien court Road Braintree. He is chipped, but sadly not registered. Please call Millennium Vets on 01376325511 if you think he may be yours.
Dear Valued Clients,
We are writing to inform you of a significant change at our practice. After 26 years of dedicated service, Robin Creighton will be leaving from the practice on 16th of August 2024.
Robin joined us in 1998 when our practice was still known as Bayer, Garett and Freeman, operating at our old site. His contributions have been integral to our growth and success, particularly since he became one of the practice partners in 2003. Robin has always been passionate about all aspects of first opinion practice and has a special interest in poultry medicine, which has greatly benefited our clients and their beloved pets.
Throughout the years, many of you have had the pleasure of meeting Robin and experiencing his exceptional care and commitment.
Robin is now looking forward to pursuing his other passion—farming. While we are saddened to see him go, we are excited for him as he embarks on this new chapter.
Please join us in wishing Robin all the best for his future.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
Stefaan and Lindsey

Hottest day of the year today!! ☀️☀️☀️
Please remember your dogs do not need walking in this heat or travelling unnecessarily in a car. Some dogs will try to sunbathe but ensure you don’t allow this for long and bring them into the shade or indoors.
Thank you for coming to see us!
We have had a lovely time with all the families that visited us yesterday. Career advise was flowing for our vets and veterinary nurses of the future. We had many involved conversations with our enthusiastic young pet owners and animal lovers (and their accompanying adults!) and a good general catch-up . We also had some very talented bandaging assistants and great discussions on behaviour and body language signs for dogs, cats and rabbits. We were only left with a few refreshments, which is a good sign! We wish all the children, a safe and fun next few weeks of summer holidays.
Tomorrow we are holding our open afternoon for children to come down and learn about becoming part of the veterinary profession. It’s between 12-2pm at our Braintree practice so come down and say hi.
Look at the lovely Coco who was in for her second vaccination last week, she’s going to be a big girl but so lovely 🥰
Any guesses on what cross breed she is??
Have you got children interested in the veterinary industry?? We are holding a family open afternoon on 7th August 12-2pm so head down to see us.

If your XL Bully isn’t yet neutered, book an appointment with your vet as soon as possible and allow yourself enough time for the paperwork to be completed and submitted via the Government website https://bit.ly/453qSFE
You can find helpful information and other important dates on our website https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/xlbullyinfo
Our student nurse Isobel learning the skill of taking X-rays.
Our nurses take all of our X-rays so must have a great understanding of anatomy to have diagnostic quality X-rays for the vets to view.
We have a selection of clean donated pet carriers for sale here at Millennium.....we are asking for a £5 donation per carrier to go towards our kitty fund. This fund helps us treat injured strays and eventually rehome. Please ask at reception if you are interested in purchasing a carrier 😃

Did you know we have an enclosed garden to walk our dogs in?
Don’t think anyone told Ollie that the vets is stressful 😁
Puppy love ❤️
All new puppies come and see our qualified consulting nurses ahead of seeing the vet. This is so our nurses can cover all the non medical puppy issues. Discussing things like diet, toilet training, crate training, insurance and much more.
On our care plan the nurses then get to see the lovely puppies monthly generally to keep covering any issues people are having.
Pet Bravery Award for Belle
“After a walk she became ill with sickness and diarrhoea, which after a couple of days she was brought into you initially for a consultation and meds, then again the following day where you admitted her for further treatment. She was hospitalised for 2 1/2 days. She has since made a full recovery with no after effects. Many thanks for that.
Belle is a loving, caring, affectionate dog, but can be quite timid at times. She loves to be cuddled and stroked, and does not like the cold. She loves a swim, whether it be a lake or the open sea.”
Sometimes a stay with us is unavoidable but we are always so pleased when it doesn’t have to be for too long and they are feeling much better.
We are very proud of both our Sophie’s for passing all their nursing exams to become qualified veterinary nurses.
This is a 2 year course full of exams, assignments, a portfolio of work and then even more exams.
Our qualified nurses are clinical coaches in practice to teach them all their skills and ensure they are able to do everything required of them once they are qualified!
Huge congratulations to you both on putting in all the hard work, it’s all paid off 🥳

Step 3 in tooth brushing Once your dog is happy with step 2, this may take a couple of weeks. Move onto a toothbrush doing the same action you did with your finger. Finger brushes can be used between step 2 and 3 but a brush is what we are wanting to use long term. Ideally you would brush their teeth every day but 3 times per week will go a long way. We’d love to see you guys giving brushing a go, video any stage and post it below.
Step 2 for teeth brushing Get some toothpaste on your finger and slide it all the way along the teeth. Upper and lower teeth and across the front. You don’t need to worry about the tongue side of the teeth, these are not really achievable. Has anyone been practicing? Show us how you’re getting on.
Starting to brush your pets teeth?? Start slow with them just licking toothpaste off your finger. You need pet toothpaste only as they swallow it so can’t use human toothpaste. It’s generally meat flavoured too so they like it 😁
Feline Fridays Enzo enjoying coming to the vets and seeing our vet Laura. Don’t forget we have a cat only clinic if your cat is not a fan of waiting around dogs. Just let reception know when you book that you’d like to attend the cat clinic. It’s Tuesday 9.30-11.30am
Don’t forget our free client event this evening, 7pm at Cressing village hall. Hear Stefaan talk all about your itchy dogs
Pesky grass seeds still out in force. The owners luckily saw this one inhaled so came straight down.

May is #VetNurseAwarenessMonth see what we do….. Gizmo was having an IV catheter placed ahead of his CT scan today
Calling all cat owners! Did you know that cat only clinics like ours are much better for the welfare of your feline friends? Here are just a few reasons why: Firstly, a cat-only clinic creates a more relaxed and calming environment for our feline friends, without the presence of barking dogs or other potential stressors. This also means less anxiety for you as a pet owner, as you will not have to worry about the safety of your cat around other animals. Secondly, our cat only waiting area is specifically designed with the comfort and safety of cats in mind. Or if you would rather wait in your car we can have you enter directly into the consulting room. Finally, when it comes to health and wellness, our clinic is staffed with veterinary professionals who have undergone additional training in feline medicine. Our team has a deep understanding of the unique needs of feline patients, and knows how to administer care and treatments that are tailored specifically to cats. So if you are a cat owner looking for a veterinary practice that prioritises the health, safety, and comfort of your feline friend, look no further. Our team of experts is here to provide the best possible care for your furry companion. Contact us today to make an appointment! #CatOnlyClinic #CatLovers #FelineWelfare #CatWellness #VeterinaryCare.
