This is Dom who comes in regularly for laser treatment with our nurses. He thoroughly enjoys coming to see us and his owners have seen a huge improvement since starting laser therapy.
The laser can be used for a multitude of conditions, these include; chronic and acute pain management, wound healing, osteoarthritis and post-operative rehab. If you want to know more about the laser and how it could benefit your pet, please do not hesitate to ask your vet or nurse next time you visit the practice.
Please be aware that the new RCVS prescribing guidelines finally come into effect on 12th January with respect to flea and worming products. If your pet does not already have an ongoing prescription set up, after this date you will not be able to order prescription only flea and worm treatments without first having your pet examined by a vet. If you are unsure if you have a prescription set up please contact us by Whatsapp on 07782 642119 or email on [email protected] and we can check for you. We are sorry for any inconvenience but the new guidelines are beyond our control.
Don’t let water supplies freeze over. Top up outdoor bowls of drinking water with warm
water and use a thermal cover on small furry pets’ water bottles.
Winter temperatures bring added risks for all our feline friends. Check out some of their
favourite warm spots and ensure they are always at a safe distance.
Happy new year - all the best for 2024!

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"
When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."
Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."
"You know, Woody's mum" 😆

We'll go first, finding poo bags in the pockets of every coat you own🫣
Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.
He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."
Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."
Name something cuter than a pile of puppies🥹

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!
In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚
Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚
Aubrey visited Vets4Pets Runcorn and made herself comfortable in the sink during her consultation😆
What's the strangest place you've found your cat?👇
Daisy visited Vets for Pets Hereford for her annual nail trim. She manages to keep her nails maintained by using a variety of different sized perches. This allows for natural wear to keep them in good shape.

Cookie visited Vets4Pets Harlow after her owner noticed her eyes had become cloudy and sore. Luckily, her owner had seen this before and knew she had to act quickly. Cookie had suffered from hay pokes, where bits of hay can scratch or pierce the eye. After being put under local anaesthetic, the team were able to remove the tiny pieces of hay and get Cookie feeling a lot more comfortable.
Well done to Cookie's owner, our team, and of course, Cookie💚
Gorgeous little Sandy came in for her 2nd vaccinations, can you guess what mix of breeds she is?

We hope you have found the information we've posted this month about Feline Hypertension useful. Please call us if you would like to book a blood pressure check for your cat 🐱 #FHAM #FelineHypertensionAwarenessMonth
Signs of feline hypertension are often invisible and unfortunately many cats only show signs of hypertension after the disease starts to cause serious damage to their heart, brain, kidneys and eyes. Make sure your cat is getting their blood pressure checked regularly! #CatBloodPressure #FelineHypertensionAwarenessMonth #FHAM
Did you know that May is Feline Hypertension month? 🐱 High blood pressure in cats, also known as feline hypertension, is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs in around 1 in 5 cats over 9 years of age. This disease is treatable with medication, but 82% of senior cats don't receive blood pressure checks. Call us today to get your cat's blood pressure checked. #CatBloodPressure #FHAM
Prevention is better than cure! Untreated high blood pressure in cats can lead to serious and irreversible damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes, resulting in blindness in some cases. By being proactive and booking your cat in for regular blood pressure checks, they could be avoiding the potentially life-threatening consequences of feline hypertension. #CatBloodPressure #FHAM
Before you visit the beer garden with your dog this summer, be sure to visit lungworm.co.uk Lungworm can be transmitted by slugs and snails, which can be ingested accidentally by eating grass or drinking from outdoor water bowls. Lungworm could be hidden just around the corner, ask us about how to prevent it.
It's #FelineHypertensionMonth which is why we're spreading awareness of how important it is to know the signs of high blood pressure in your cat 🐱 Quite often, cats will show no noticeable signs of having high blood pressure. Subtle changes in behaviours can be a crucial indicator that something isn't quite right! Blood pressure checks are the best way to diagnose and screen for feline hypertension. Be sure to book regular checks for your cat #CatBloodPressure #FHAM
