Meet Tayto 🤩 - the Crufts superstar who our team successfully treated for ovarian cancer just months before she competed in and won the Good Citizen Class for Samoyed females award.

Last October, her worried owners brought her in to see our team at our veterinary hospital on Mayfield Road as she had been in season for an unusually long time and an ultrasound detected a growth on one of her ovaries.

Our vet Scott Dickson performed life-saving emergency surgery and successfully removed the tumour - it was the first time in Scott’s 30 years as a vet that he’d seen this kind of cancer in a pet!

We’re so pleased to see Tayto is happy and healthy and are also delighted to share that Scott and our team have received a special Community Hero Award for our dedicated care to Tayto and pets in our community 🥰
