🩺🐶 Come along to The Sands with Brandy for her annual booster…
🗓 It’s important to check your pets are up to date with their annual vaccination because it:
✔️ Protects your pets from nasty, life threatening diseases.
✔️ Gives peace of mind.
✔️ Creates or boosts our pets’ immunity to certain disease, especially important in younger and older animals
✔️ Prevents pets from passing on a disease such as leptospirosis, which can be passed from animals to people
❗️Sadly, a lot of the diseases your pet can catch if they aren’t vaccinated, are fatal in most cases.
Please contact us to make an appointment or visit our website for further information.

🐶 This is Bodhi!
🐾 Post TPLO surgery with Dan, he is doing incredibly well post op, making a full recovery and even able to go out and enjoy some little walks.
🩺 Bodhi suffered from a very common disease called cranial cruciate ligament rupture. This causes a debilitating lameness in our four legged friends which often requires surgery.
🩺 We repaired this at The Sands using a specialised technique called a Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy otherwise know as a TPLO.
Click the link below to check out our TPLO fixed price package which includes an orthopaedic consultation, TPLO surgery, 6 weeks of medication and post op radiographs.

🩺 Not only do we strive to ensure the very best care is given to our patients, we ensure costs are competitive and transparent to our clients so there are no hidden fees.

👀 Take a look back at our last BVA eye testing day!
💫 Here at the Sands, we completed yet another successful BVA eye day with our visiting specialist Ophthalmologist. Laura Newman.
🩺 We also performed several BVA hip and elbow radiographs which will go on to be assessed as scored by the BVA.
🐾 Clients travel far and wide to visit us here at the Sands and it’s a pleasure to welcome dogs in all shapes, size and colour.
🐶 It’s so important we are breeding from the very best dogs to ensure we can eliminate congenital diseases where possible.
🌟 Great job team!!
🗓 Please keep our next date in the diary, Thursday 6th June for our next BVA eye test day.

🐩 Until next time, we look forward to having puppy cuddles and welcoming more of you to the practice.
🐾 We had the privilege of vaccinating these beautiful puppies who were very well behaved and enjoyed lots of treats and cuddles from all the Staff.
🩺 Vaccinations are there to protect your pets from life threatening bacterial and viral infections.
🩺 Vaccination remains the single most effective method of protecting against infectious disease in healthy animals.
🩺 Not only do the vaccinations protect your pet, but also prevent certain diseases passing onto humans.
🩺 We boost the vaccinations every year in dogs and cats to ensure they stay protected.
🐶 The main diseases vaccinated against in dogs are:-
➡️ Leptospirosis
➡️ Canine viral hepatitis
➡️ Canine parvovirus
➡️ Canine parainfluenza
➡️ Kennel cough
➡️ Rabies
🐱 And in Cats:-
➡️ Feline enteritis
➡️ Feline parvovirus
➡️ Feline Leukaemia
➡️ Cat flu syndrome
➡️ Chlymidid
➡️ Rabies
📞 Please contact the practice if you would like more information on our vaccination protocols or you think your pet is due a vaccination.
🐶 Meet Moose!! 🤎
🐾 Moose was in today for his 2nd vaccination with our nurse Becki.

✔️Flea and worm administration

🚗 Pawsome ride!
🐶 This is Jack, who came to us this week and left in “style” after his check up following a recent episode of lameness.
🌳 Jack is doing so very well on his medication and can now go back to running in the fields again.
Meet Bella 🐶
Bella was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: is a disease in which the body can not regulate the normal glucose.
Bella requires daily injections of insulin to maintain her normal glucose levels, however, one difficulty we have in dogs is knowing what their glucose level is and therefore what dose of insulin is required.
Bella has been fitted with a sun cutaneous glucose monitoring device which is connected to the owners app which will tell her what dose of insulin will be required at each dose.
This will enable Bella’s glucose to be more accurately controlled consequently giving Bella a much better quality of life; at less risk of severe secondary side effects; managing her diabetes for longer.
We are always looking at new ways to treat our patients here at The Sands, and this is just one method we utilise to manage many complex conditions in our furry patients.
🌟 CASE OF THE WEEK 🌟
Meet Roxy!
Roxy suffered a nasty fracture to her radius and ulnar and came to The Sands for repair. Dan our Orthopaedic Surgeon performed surgery using a metal plate and screws.
Roxy recovered really well with our nursing team and is now at home having lots of TLC! 😊
This brave boy came in to visit us last weekend as he was visiting the area. He’d been playing in a field with his tennis ball and seemed to be sore when being touched around his nose, upon further examination with some light sedation, we managed to retrieve a stick from his right nostril!
Thankfully there wasn’t any permanent damage and we’re pleased to say he is doing much better now 😊
Yesterday we spent the day brightening up The Sands by putting up our Christmas Tree and decorations (thank you to our neighbours at Tarvin Sands Fishery for our tree!) & today the team were getting in the festive spirit wearing their Christmas jumpers in aid of Christmas Jumper Day! 🎄🎅🏼 #ChristmasJumperDay2023 #vetpractice #independentbusiness
A “how to clean ears” video with our RVN Tabitha 👩⚕️
Some of you may remember the gorgeous Duke from our post last week, here he is again being such a good boy having his ears cleaned 🥰
Thank you so much to everyone that took the time to come and say hello to us at the Huntington Fete last Saturday and to those of you that entered the competition to win a £100 hamper! It was a wonderful day, with a great turn out and it was a pleasure meeting you all 😊🐾 #HuntingtonFete2023 #TheSandsVeterinaryPractice #IndependantPractice
The very best of friends are made at The Sands 😊
This is Maggie & Bleu enjoying their visit with us today 🐾
