😺 MICROCHPPING 😺
From June 10th 2024 it will be compulsory to have your cat microchipped in the UK.
Microchipping is included as part of our Pet Health Club, and is a quick and easy procedure that can be done during a consultation with a vet or a nurse. It is recommended, as it helps us identify cats in the unfortunate event that they become lost or harmed.
So don't delay, book your cat in to be microchipped before June 2024!
Happy Friday! We will be spending the weekend much like this patient who just LOVED being taken care of by our nurses!
✨A VERY GOOD GIRL✨
Nala the beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel visited our Acacia Villas surgery today to be spayed.
Look how good she was at returning to her kennel following her physical examination! 😍
Beautiful Cally came to see Rita this evening and had a gorgeous smile for us! Rewarded with a well-deserved treat 😍
Have you considered hydrotherapy for your dog? 💦
Hydrotherapy is an excellent way to provide low-impact exercise and strengthening for dogs without placing pressure on their joints. Complementing the treatment for a range of conditions such as musculoskeletal injury, muscle loss/atrophy and some neurological disorders, hydrotherapy is a fantastic way to get your dog moving and feeling strong and healthy. 🏊♀️
Pictured is the lovely Bailey who, over the years, has developed some mobility issues and some osteoarthritis in his hips. He belongs to our RVN Alison and is currently receiving hydrotherapy treatment to encourage him to lose weight and help strengthen and build his muscles and stabilise his joints. 💪
Bailey loves to swim, however his mum soon realised she needed to buy him a swimming hat to help stop water getting into his ears. We thing he still looks super handsome!❤️
If you would like to find out more about whether hydrotherapy could benefit your dog, chat to one of our vets who can arrange a referral. 😄

This Christmas take care!
For there's plenty to eat
But a trip to the vets
May not be so sweet
All these chocolates and candies
A dog could have a feast!
But the joy is short lived
For this hungry little beast
For just one bite
Of the wrong food this year
Could mean Buster misses out
On all the festive cheer!
Proud to be a @myfamilyvets practice, here for you and your pets this Christmas.

Gorgeous Fynn has been in with us today for a glucose curve 📈 This is where we take a small amount of blood at regular intervals to test blood glucose levels during a diabetes diagnosis. This allows us to determine how well they are being regulated and adjust the dose of insulin required.
Safe to say Fynn loved the quality time with our nurses during his stay. We love you Fynn! ❤️

Here are some of our nurses' top tips for keeping your small furries cool in this heat:
💥 Ceramic tiles - place tiles in the fridge overnight. In the morning or at the hottest point of the day, remove and place into your pet's enclosure to provide a cool area for them to chill 😎
💥 Water bottles - place full water bottles in the fridge and if you have more than one, keep swapping them over for a refreshing beverage for your pet 🍸
💥 We would not recommend placing fans too close to your pet's enclosure, as this can cause dust particles from their bedding to become airborne and increase the risk of respiratory problems. However, a fan positioned away from the enclosure but in the same room can help to provide some air circulation.
💥 Frozen veg/ fruit can be just the thing to keep your small furry friends comfortable and cool 🥕
