Baby boy Blue weighing just 410grams!! The stethoscope was bigger than him! ๐ญ
Blue was incredibly brave for his first ever health check with our vet Laura. He had a dirty bottom, so we clipped the fur and gave him a little clean. ๐ฉต
Adorable Monty was found at his new owners place of work with no sign of his mum anywhere. They of course decided to rescue him and his sibling and offer them a forever home. ๐ฉถ
Our vet Laura passed Monty with a clean bill of health, apart from a slightly bloated tummy, which the worming treatment will treat.
If was lovely to meet you Monty and we cannot wait to see him again in a few weeks for his vaccinations. ๐
Oral disease is the largest health problem in dogs. While dental problems can be extremely painful, dogs usually donโt show outward signs of pain so it can be tricky to spot. However, if left untreated it can significantly reduce their quality of life and may be a catalyst for other serious health conditions.
Now that Theo and Madge have pearly white teeth again, prevention is key!
๐ฆทBrushing their teeth with dog-friendly toothpaste (with a small soft brush)
๐ฆทProviding the right diet
๐ฆทRegular check-ups with their vet
If you would like us to check your pets teeth, please call us on 01206 544918 to book.
Just incase you doubt how your pets are treated behind closed doors. โค๏ธ We can honestly say they are shown so much love and reassurance. ๐ซถ๐ผ

We are a little late in posting these photos of Radley, but sheโs too gorgeous not to be featured. ๐
Radley is a 5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who underwent a dental descale and polish. Our vet Jodie examined the health of all the teeth and saw that 9 of her teeth needed to be extracted. The teeth were very loose, which meant they were very quick to extract.
Radley made a fantastic recovery ๐
If you have noticed your pet having smelly breath, please call us on 01206 544918 to book a free dental check with one of our nurses.
The beautiful Chocolate Labrador Pepper underwent a keyhole spay with us and what an angel she was. ๐ฅฐ
Keyhole surgery is minimally invasive with lower risks and many advantages. These include:
โช๏ธSmaller wounds
โช๏ธLess chance of infections
โช๏ธReduced post-operative pain
โช๏ธFaster recovery
โช๏ธFewer complications
We have recently updated our keyhole equipment, so any future keyhole procedures will experience our new state of the art machine. ๐คฉ
Noodles was rushed into us after helping himself to some chocolate which contained 45% dark chocolate!
Given his size, the safest option was to induce emesis.
Noodles was a great sport and brought up all the chocolate that was sitting in his stomach. We sent him home with some charcoal liquid to absorb any toxins that may have been left behind.
There's no better way to spend your birthday than meeting and having puppy cuddles and lots of smooches with the gorgeous Peaches! A stunning red merle Border Collie puppy.
Chico is a 4 month old chocolate Chihuahua who visited our nurse Holly for his 3rd vaccination. This little boy is also a new member of our healthcare plan, which meant his daddy didn't need to pay a penny at the time of his visits.
It was an absolute pleasure meeting this little boy and we cannot wait to see him again. ๐ฅฐ

This insanely scrumptious Goldendoodle, Teddy, visited our nurse Holly for his 2nd vaccination. He was incredibly brave, especially as he was distracted by yummy treats. ๐ซถ
We hope that Teddy had the best time during his first holiday with his new forever family. We are pleased that his family can relax knowing that he is now protected from the diseases below. ๐งก

This lovely boy is called Dylan. He is so sweet but absolutely terrified of the vets. Even to the point that he will not allow us to use a Stethoscope to listen to his heart.
So we have been inviting him in for free confidence clinics, where our nurses spend time with him and walk him around the practice and introduce him to the staff and veterinary objects. Our goal is to encourage him to walk happily to the back of the practice and allow us to take his temperature.
We give him so much praise and positive reassurance and reinforcement.
If your dog is also scared of the vets, you are more than welcome book in on these too.
Just call us on 01206 544918.
Well done Dylan! We are so proud of you. ๐

London Road Vets is a state-of-the-art, purpose built facility in Lexden, Colchester. We have separate dog and cat hospital wards and a modern theatre onsite with Ultrasound and Digital X-ray means so we can treat your pet faster with less stress to both of you.
Our highly qualified and keenly motivated vets and nurses are passionate about what they do and will lovingly treat your animal as their own. Weโre always learning and open to new skills. For example, did you know we offer Keyhole Surgery? We are now able to carry out a number of procedures, including spaying by keyhole, minimising the trauma and recovery time for so many animals.
Our nurses also run clinics for bandaging, repeat injections, blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring, they help with behaviour counselling and slimmerโs club. They also run puppy parties for early socialisation and are very keen to promote preventative care.
We still get emotional about seeing the journey of beloved family pets from first vaccinations to the final consultation; it might be our job but itโs also our hearts that break when weโve nursed them and seen them recover and sent them home. Weโve been through the journey with our own pets and so we know how to deal sensitively with both their needs and yours.
We love what we do and will always be there for you and your pets.
