From the 10th of June, it will be law to have your cat microchipped. This ensures we reduce the amount of strays without homes and increase the amount of pets we can reunite with owners should they stray!
If you aren't sure if your pet is microchipped, please call us as we can check this for you! 🥰
Not many of us like to admit when we have a problem with fleas in the home. Please remember, prevention is always better than cure and we are here to help. Most of us have experienced fleas in the home and are familiar with the embarrasment that comes with this. All of our team are happy to help and provide advice and support without judgement. Please reach out with any queries you have.

More Neville spam! As a baby hand-rear, Neville used to 'kiss' and 'give kisses', he hasn't lost his charm and still gives kisses! 🐈😍
Neville came into us recently for his ''gentlemans'' procedure. It seems all was forgiven as he was very happy on recovery rolling around and flirting with his aunties! Some of you may be lucky enough to have met baby Neville when he was being handreared by staff- he would frequently make a guest appearance on shift! He is such a great boy! 🐈🐾
Mittens participated in some puurfect purr therapy while in with us, her purr was so gentle we felt the need to make it louder with a mini-mic! How sweet is she!? 😍🐾🐈

Jaspar's special talent
Poor Jaspar had a visit to the vets today after his sporting injury. He has a passion for skateboarding but sometimes his stunts go wrong! Jaspar came in to see us as his skateboard may have accidentally knocked his privates and caused a sore area! (ouch!) With some pain relief on board and a little break from his skillful activities, we wish him a speedy recovery from his episode! ❤🐾
We recommend blood pressure monitoring for all cats over the age of 7 years, for those with chronic kidney failure, and for those with hyperthyroidism. Does your cat fit into any of these categories?
If you have an older cat with hyperthyroidism or chronic kidney disease, or if your cat is behaving oddly, please get in touch to find out more!
Perhaps your cat isn’t ‘just getting old’. A simple test can diagnose high blood pressure and there is so much we can do to help, please just ask.
As vets we don’t just see a disease, we see a beloved member of the family who we want to help get better, or to live with the best quality of life. So when it comes to mitral valve disease, we don’t just prescribe medications, we aim to help our patients live the best life they can, for as long as they can. If you’ve had a dog with MVD, please tell us about your pet’s journey in the comments, you might just help others who are going through it.
