Help! We want your recommendations!
🪴🏡🌳🌻

We are looking for a gardener/gardening company to work with Priory Vets to maintain the grounds at all three of our sites - grass cutting (very regularly at this time of year!), weeding, sweeping, tidying, maintenance work on hedges and fencing, potentially drain/gutter clearing as well. Approx 10-15hrs per month.

We’d like to work with a local independent person or company and would appreciate recommendations from our clients and followers!
Thanks 🙏

Great local news for us! The ferry is back up and running just in time for some lovely weather 🤞☀️

Something to be aware of.

Something to be aware of.

Footie fever is in the air as England, Scotland and 22 other nations prepare to kick-off at Euro 2024! ⚽

We received 1,644 reports of animals getting entangled in netting in 2023, and 773 of these incidents happened in the peak months of May, June and July.

Unattended football nets can trap, injure and even kill wildlife and pets, so please remember to put nets safely away once you've finished to prevent any casualties.

Seen a trapped animal? We’ll guide you to the best and quickest way of getting them the help they need: https://bit.ly/3VFp8yY

Today is the day!

From today in England it is a legal requirement that you cat is microchipped - and this is a VERY good thing!

A microchip is a permanent identification of your cat and means that if they are ever lost and are found, they can be scanned and quickly returned to you

But don't forget that microchipping is only half of the story!

It is also vital that your details are held on a good quality database that is has 24/7 online access for finders. Some, shockingly, can only be contacted by phone or in working hours, which is no good if your cat is injured or is found on a weekend or evening.

If you check and yours is a poorer quality one, you can change it!

Most have a very easy swapping service and some don't even charge a fee for joining or keeping your details up to date.

For the best ones, ask your vet, we will only work with reputable and accessible databases, and we can also tell you which ones to avoid!

So if you are feeling smug today because your cat is already chipped, before you feel too satisfied, do check your database as well!

Our client information evening next Thursday is sold out!
We are delighted with the response from our Priory Pet Club members who filled the spaces from their early bird access very quickly - clearly troublesome teenagers are a problem for lots of us!
Look out for a poll coming up for those who don’t manage to get tickets this time.

We truly have the kindest, most thoughtful clients. At a busy difficult time, this gave everyone a real lift. 🥰🥰🥰

We are very sad to have to announce that Philip Hughes has passed away. Philip was with Priory for over 40 years, he was very much a part of the very fabric of our practice. He has had a huge influence on many pets, clients and vets over the years and has enriched all our lives.

Without Philip, Priory would not be the thriving independent veterinary practice we are today. We are all very grateful for everything that Philip did for us and we will miss him very much.

Guess the breed….??

Beautiful Bunty had to have a baby tooth 🦷 removed last week to avoid complications or problems later on. She’s only 3mths old and was very brave in the hospital 🥰 - maybe because he had her bumblebee 🐝 to keep her company!

Do you know what breed Bunty is?

Even lions aren't immune to health challenges like diabetes! Timothy is actually a beautiful ginger Maine C**n cat but we think he looks like a star from the Lion King 🦁 😂
He was in hospital for a day visit this week for a blood glucose curve to monitor how well controlled his diabetes is. An adjustment to his regime and he was home again.

If you do have any concerns about your cat 🧡🐱 (or lion 🦁 😂) remember we are here 24hrs a day over the Bank Holiday weekend for our clients.

Todays star patients 🌟 🌟
Ronnie and Reggie are the terrific terrier brothers!
Aged 10 months, they were in today to be castrated and this is them having a pre op bath 🛁 at home yesterday 😍😍
Because our patients are hairy, even though we clip and scrub the surgical area, bathing them before a general anaesthetic further decreases the risk of infection and we encourage all owners to do it.
Reggie and Ronnie certainly didn’t mind!!

Not a monster at all but a rather lovely cocker spaniel who came for her first vaccination 💉 and microchip this morning. Her beautiful colours do look like a chocolate chip cookie, and she even had cookies on her collar!
We enjoyed lots of treats and socialisation cuddles and she was very brave.
See you soon Cookie 🍪
