You may need to allow extra time to get to us today. The Moor is closed for resurfacing. So if you are coming to the practice today you’ll need to approach us from the Mill Street direction rather than the road alongside the Blue Vinny Pub. If coming along the A35 you’ll need to leave at Troy Town junction (go straight ahead at the traffic lights, past the shop and then turn left down Mill Street) or Tolpuddle junction and then through the villages.

This week we say a very special Happy Birthday to one of our long standing patients, the wonderful Katyushka. A fabulous 18 years young and still enjoying the sunshine in the garden. Looks like she also enjoyed investigating her birthday cake (but not as much as we enjoyed eating it, it was delicious, thank you to Katyushka’s family)

Dogs and cats are carnivores but this isn’t always reflected in what we feed them. High protein low carb diets with a high share of animal protein have been shown to have a range of benefits, including
💦 increasing water intake to support urinary health
🦮 a high digestive tolerance
🐈 increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat mass for body weight control
