At Crieff Vets we aim to provide a high standard of caring personal service for all our clients and Crieff Vets was formerly known as Ashworth Veterinary Group.
(24)

There has been a veterinary practice on the current site since 1903. This was originally based at Craigforth House and was predominantly a farm animal practice. The purpose built surgery was first opened in 1979 and refurbished and expanded in 1997. This expansion created improved facilities for the increasing number of small animal patients. There had been a member of the Ashworth family at the h

elm from 1955-2011. Gordon was first in charge and was then followed by his son David who retired in April 2011. Kirsty Dewar and Susan Waddell joined the practice partnership in 2007 and changed the name to Crieff Vets following David Ashworth's retiral. The practice was a 'mixed practice' dealing with farm animals, horses and small animals until 2020 when it became a purely small animal practice. The data controller is Independent Vetcare Limited, The Chocolate Factory, Bristol, Keynsham, BS31 2 AU (Information Commissioners office reference Z3212973) We
have a Data Protection Officer who can be contacted at [email protected]

How hot is too hot? We told you yesterday about heat stroke, and it's something perhaps you think needs extreme temperatures but that's not the case. Add exercise into the equation and the temperature does not need to be that high. Have a look at this and please share!

Finally the weather is getting better! Whilst it's lovely and we all want to enjoy is - please remember the risks for you pets. Keep your walks for cool times of day and watch carefully for these signs of heatstroke

On 1st September 2023, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) introducing new guidance on prescribing prescription-only medicines. The full guidance can be found on: https://www.rcvs.org.uk/…/advi…/under-care-new-guidance/
The new guidance requires that a physical examination of the pet has to be performed every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and prescription anti-parasiticides are prescribed. This includes topical preparations such as ear and eye drops, and all prescription flea/worm/tick products.
We all care about the impact of the prescription medicines on the environment and we always seek to care for our world. We are concerned about the global impact of the medicines we choose and resistance to antibiotics. Also, we all need to protect our insect life, especially the pollinators, which help our crops and fruit and vegetables to grow.
The RCVS has formulated new guidelines with this in mind. To be in breach of these is a very serious matter indeed, we have to enforce them.

What Does this Mean for Your Pet?
What this means is that your pet must come in for an in-person consultation for the following:
• If you need prescription flea/worm/tick products and your pet has not been seen for 12 months

• There is a change of flea/worm/tick treatment;

• If your pet has an ear or eye infection (most treatments contain antibiotics);

• If your pet has any skin problem, even if it is a chronic problem

• If we suspect a urinary tract infection (remote/online consultation and urine analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)

• We suspect a gastrointestinal infection

• We have reviewed our prescribing policy and for long term prescription medication that is not an antimicrobial/anti-parasitic, and we will need to see your pet at least every 2-6 months depending on the type of medication.

• We need a minimum of 3 working days notice for repeat prescriptions and written prescriptions.

When walking your dog in the dark, make sure that both you and your dog are visible to others. For owners, this means avoiding dark clothing and wearing reflective safety gear such as a vest, strap or wristband. There are several options for keeping your dog visible in the dark, such as a reflective jacket, collar, lead, harness or even an LED light-up safety necklace. Dogs with darker fur are more difficult to see in the dark. However, even if you have a lighter coloured dog, you should still make sure your dog can be seen in the dark!

BBQ Season

As a pet owner you can do so much to help your dog with their arthritis. Read our helpful tips to learn how!

From 23rd September 2022, we will be partnering with VetsNow to provide emergency care to your animals out of hours. Vets Now offer a comprehensive, dedicated out of hours vet clinic, like an A&E service for pets. They are based in numerous locations across Scotland and the rest of the UK, our nearest clinics are Dundee, Glasgow and Kirkcaldy. They employ a dedicated team of vets and nurses to provide excellent care throughout the nights and weekends, so they are fresh and ready to help you, whatever time you need it. They offer free telephone advice, and up until 11pm you can have a video consultation with a vet prior to needing to travel (we think this is a brilliant option to access good veterinary advice). We hope that with a dedicated service, you will be less worried about disturbing our vet’s sleep and so will feel more able to access support and advice whenever you are worried through the night. The team at Vets Now also undergo additional training in emergency and critical care, which means in the event of your pet needing emergency care, they are very well prepared and resourced to support you and your pet’s needs. So how does this work? During our opening hours, from 8am – 7pm Monday to Friday and from 9am -12 noon on Saturday, you will still be able to call and book consultations with our team of vets. Outside these hours if you call us on 01764 652 086 and select that your pet needs emergency care your call will be directed to Vets Now, where you will speak to a member of their team about the care you need. They will then work with you to determine what the next steps will be, and where is going to be best for you to attend one of their clinics (if needed). I would like to encourage you to visit their website www.vets-now.com to familiarise yourself with the location of their clinics and to consider which clinic would work best for you in case of an emergency. I would like to reassure you that the vast majority of pets only need emergency care
