We are thrilled to be able to share yet another wonderful story of how pain management injections have helped improve the quality of life for someone else... Woody 😍🥰

Read below for Woody's current journey in relation to his arthritis 🩷

"Woody has been having monthly injections for around 6 months now and we have definitely noticed a difference in him. He’s an old man anyway at the ripe age of 15 but these injections definitely give us a glimpse of a younger man in between doses. We definitely notice when he is getting close to his next one as he slows down significantly and gets a little limp on his back legs. When the medication is effective he is happy, bouncy and full of life. Thank you to the team for suggesting it in the first place and supporting us each month, his quality of life is definitely much higher now."

Bert's story 😍

Next up with his story is the brilliant Bert, who by the looks of things is more than happy to share his journey with everyone 😆 Big thank you to Bert's mum for this lovely piece:

"Bert came to me four years ago when he was two and half. He had come from a family who no longer wanted him, having used him for breeding.

He had not been well looked after and arrived with undeclared and unnoticed health issues and joint problems.

After many appointments with the vet over a couple of years, including a visit to a consultant who was able to give us a definitive diagnosis, it was agreed that so as to keep Bert out of pain and able to live as “normal” a life as possible and have a good quality of life – he would have to have regular pain relief treatment. We tried various brands of pain killers which only gave very temporary relief.

A typical Dachshund, Bert is very active and loves nothing more than rushing around the apartment like a loony, having the zoomies and treating the place like an obstacle course. When the pain relief wore off, he was miserable, moaning and groaning and not wanting to do much certainly not enjoying his daily walks and not wanting to play with other dogs in the park.

We then tried the injection form on a monthly basis and, after a couple of months, he seemed a completely different dog.

Now, he has his injections on a monthly basis. He does what he wants to do and is enjoying life more or less pain free. He loves nothing more than running riot in the park with his friends and exploring the fields and beaches.

He is so used to going to the vet. These injections have certainly worked for Bert. As you can see from the smile on his face (totally natural and not altered in any way) he is a happy dog."

😍 Bess' story 😍

The beautiful Bess has been receiving regular pain management injections with us to help her cope with arthritis. Here is her heartwarming story which we're so pleased to be able to share with you 🩷

"Two years ago we thought we were going to loose our lovely girl, retired Hearing Dog Bess, when we woke one morning to find her in a lot of pain. A prompt visit to Portishead Vets for Pets and Nic suggested we try injections for the management of Arthritis. Bess now has these monthly and it has kept her pain free and enabled her to carry on enjoying her spots in the garden. Thank you to all who have spoilt her over the years."

‼️ Missing ‼️

Please keep your eyes peeled for Marlie, who has been missing from her home since last night. Marlie is a house cat, so does not usually go out. She has come from the Newhaven Road area, and whilst she is friendly, she may well be very scared.

Please call us on 01275 815 470 if you think you may have seen Marlie, so we can inform her owners and hopefully get her home safely to her family who are missing her very much.

🩵 We have had some really great success stories regarding pain management when it comes to arthritis in pets, which we will be posting over the next week. We have seen a significant rise in the amount of dogs and cats who are coming for treatment for their arthritis, including osteoarthritis, and the results are too good for us not to share... 🥹

To kick things off, here is Floyd's story which his mum has very kindly let us share with you. Floyd is on a regular pain management specific to cats, which is administered by injection:

"As floyd got older I noticed he was starting to struggle jumping up onto the furniture and he was moving around a little more ginderly than normal. We decided to give the injections a try. Floyd has definitely gained time after being on the injections. As time has gone on we have had to make injections more frequent as they help him so much. I can now tell when he's ready for his next one! He's made it to 18 now and although he's a frail little thing at least he's been more pain free thanks to his regular injections."

It's World Veterinary Day! 🩺🐾

Today we'd like to celebrate every single member of our team. Each and every one of them play an integral part in keeping the cogs turning so we can keep our practice functioning daily.

Whether we are keeping on top of orders, reminding clients of treatments that are due, cleaning, holding consultations, monitoring patients or doing surgeries...the list goes on! We all do such different jobs within the surgery, but we all have one goal, which is to keep improving animals' lives 💚

Big shout out to the Team At Vets4Pets Portishead! 🥰💫

Celebrating Earth Day 🌍🌊🌱

Today is Earth Day, and to help us highlight and remember the importance of protecting our planet, we wanted to share a few ways in which our practice are aiming to be more sustainable:

- We are reducing the amount of leaflets ordered
- Where printing is necessary, we are using grey-scale and double-sided
- Turning lights off in rooms not used
- Dispensing medication in paper bags/boxes
- Using recycling bins
- Using WhatsApp as a method of communication to reduce the need for paper communication

And to remind of us just how beautiful our planet is, here are some incredible views that some of the girls in our team have visited recently in the UK, Wales, Denmark & Iceland 💙💚

A sneak peak behind the scenes! 📸

It's not all that often that anyone gets to see what really goes on behind the face of reception, so we thought we'd let you in on one of our procedures. Here is our vet, Rhiannon and nurse, Lydia hard at work during a dog dental 🦷

In case you're wondering - no - animals aren't as compliant as humans when it comes to dental work! They therefore need to undergo a general anaesthetic to the vets can get a really good look into the mouth to see the health of every tooth, and look out for any infections or teeth that may be causing problems. Being under anaesthetic means heart rate and blood pressure must be closely monitored, which is why we need nurses to ensure a safe and stable state throughout and after ✨

25/02/2024

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

🐱 Hypertension (high blood pressure) in cats 🩺

Our lovely Chloe will be running nurse clinics for just £10 on evenings between 5pm and 6:30pm, and one of the main areas she can help in is identifying Hypertension in older cats.

Hypertension in cats is usually "secondary" to other underlying diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, although "primary" hypertension can also be seen in older cats too. Hypertension can often show in symptoms such as:

- Retinal changes: decreased vision, change in size or shape of pupils
- disorientation, dizziness or unsteadiness
- behavioural changes
- lethargy or breathlessness

Signs of Hypertension aren't always visible, and that's why we highly recommend that cats over the age of 7 come once or twice a year for regular blood pressure checks for early detection.

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

27/01/2024

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

26/01/2024

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
