Unfortunately, cats are often prone to urinary problems, one of which is feline idiopathic cystitis. Idiopathic means that this condition has no identifiable cause, but we find it more common in young to middle-aged cats. 🐈

Medical treatment can help reduce the frequency and improve clinical signs, thus relieving your cat's discomfort.

But the main thing to be aware of is changes in the environment that may trigger clinical signs in your cat, leading to this condition becoming recurrent. Environmental enrichment is key for these animals, and this can include:
👉 Keeping a regular daily schedule for feeding, playing and affection
👉 Making any changes to your cat’s routine slowly over time
👉 Adding scratching posts and toys
👉 Reducing competition in multiple cat households by having one more litter tray than the number of cats, plenty of resting places, and individual access to food and water for each cat

Get in touch with us if you spot these signs in your cat, as a thorough investigation is needed!

While Bonfire Night can be fun for us, the loud bangs and flashing lights can be scary for our pets. Here are some tips to help keep them calm and relaxed:

🏠 Create a safe space: Set up a cosy, quiet room/space where your pet can feel secure, away from the noise.
🎆 Close windows and curtains: This helps muffle the sound and block out the bright flashes from fireworks.
✨ Use calming products: Consider calming sprays, diffusers, or anxiety wraps/shirts designed to help soothe pets during stressful times.
🎶 Distract them: Play calming music, offer treats, or entertain them with their favourite toys.
😊 Stay calm: Pets pick up on our emotions, so try to stay relaxed and positive to help them feel safe.

If your pet struggles with firework anxiety, call us for further advice! We're here to help. 💙

Bonfire Night is almost here, and we would like to remind you to please check underneath your bonfires for hedgehogs (or any other animals that may have chosen to hide there) before lighting them! 🦔🔥

These little garden friends often hide under bonfires or piles of leaves for hibernation, and might not notice you lighting your bonfire before it’s too late.

To avoid burns, or even more severe problems, do a quick check before starting the fire, and if you spot a hedgehog in distress, don’t hesitate to call the British Hedgehog Preservation Society on 01584 890 801 for advice ☎️

We hope it's a great Halloween night for all of our pet owners! 🎃 👻

Are you considering dressing up your furry friend? There are an endless number of social media posts depicting pets in elaborate costumes, but we recommend keeping it simple this spooky season!

Many costumes are not designed with comfort or mobility in mind, often being too bulky or covering up eyes, ears or even the nose. To ensure that everyone has a great time, you can accessorise a collar, lead or harness with fetching decorations that won't make your pet uncomfortable.

How do your furry best friends feature in your Halloween celebrations? Tell us everything!

30/10/2024

Have you ever found your hedgehog covered in a slimy substance on its spines? Don’t panic, this is known as self-anointing behaviour. 🦔

Hedgehogs can sometimes go into a trance-like state and begin producing foamy saliva, which they then flick over their shoulders and back. Sometimes, they can get into some very unique positions!

The reason for this is unknown and whilst it can look strange and slightly concerning, don’t be too worried. This is completely natural behaviour.

Dental disease is very common in dogs and cats, even when there are no overt signs of oral issues. This means caring for your pets’ dental healthy is key, which requires both home care and professional veterinary attention. 🦷

During annual check-ups, we thoroughly examine your pet's teeth and may recommend a dental cleaning under general anaesthesia to remove tartar buildup.

While you may see anaesthesia-free dental procedures advertised, these pose significant risks. ⚠️ Performing dental work on a pet who is awake is not safe, as it increases the chances of accidental injury, damage to their teeth, pain and discomfort due to prolonged restraint.

Additionally, such procedures are typically performed by individuals who lack formal veterinary training, and who cannot properly assess your pet’s dental health and identify signs of significant dental problems, which could put your pet's overall health at risk.

For the best dental care for your pet, schedule a check-up with us! 🦷

At Vets4Pets Evesham, we care for each other as well as we care for your pets. 🥰

Working at a veterinary practice goes well beyond cuddling cute puppies and kittens. Every day, we see pets who are unwell, deal with emergencies and handle a range of other stressful situations, and we’re doing our best to provide them with the care they need.

This is why we find so important to look after the wellness of our team, and we’re proud to foster a working environment that has the team’s mental and physical well-being in mind.

If you’d like to help us make our team’s day brighter, we invite you to leave them some kind words in the comments below! 👇

Who owns lovebirds? 🤔

It is important that we offer them a wide range of foods to keep them interested. But how do we overcome picky eaters? After all, a diet that contains a variety of different foods will contribute to a balanced and overall healthier bird.

👉 Introduce new foods gradually: If your birds are used to their normal diet, they may be reluctant to try new foods. Start by offering new foods gradually alongside their usual diet.

👉 Keep foods varied: Fruits, seeds and vegetables all make up a balanced diet for lovebirds. Routinely offering a variety of foods can reduce the need to get used to one particular type.

👉 Use interactive feeders: If a bird has to work for their food, they’re probably more likely to want to eat it after using all their brain power! Not only do interactive feeders offer mental stimulation, but they make new food types exciting.

What foods do you offer to your lovebirds? Do they have a favourite? Let us know in the comments below!

It can be important to routinely run faecal analysis in exotic pets for a number of different reasons. Similar to cats and dogs, exotic pets can contract gastro-intestinal parasites. The main difference is that cats and dogs are wormed routinely.

Your vet may recommend a faecal analysis to check for intestinal parasites so that they can be treated effectively. Most parasites are nothing to worry about and can be quickly and easily treated - so don’t panic!

22/10/2024

Since rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, it’s essential to make sure they can wear them down to prevent problems. 🐰

They can wear down their teeth by eating 85-90% of high-quality hay or fresh grass daily and chewing on appropriate materials, such as rabbit-safe toys.

When their teeth overgrow, this results in mouth pain, refusing to eat, and gastrointestinal problems.

Bringing them in for regular dental checks is also important to ensure your bunny’s teeth are at a healthy length.

If we find the teeth are too long, we need to trim them, usually under general anaesthesia, so that your bunny is safe and comfortable.

Get in touch with us if your bunny needs a dental check-up!

Many pet owners may not be aware of this, but conkers (also called horse chestnuts) are poisonous to dogs! 🌰 🐶

During this time of the year, it is common to find them on the ground, and our dogs might find them tasty or something fun to play with. However, conkers contain aesculin, a toxic substance that can be dangerous.

Signs of toxicity depend on the amount ingested and might include:

👉 Vomiting and diarrhoea

👉 Abdominal pain

👉 Excessive thirst

👉 Lack of energy

Osteoarthritis is a common source of chronic pain in people and pets! With autumn and chilly days back, we would like to discuss three common misconceptions about this condition.

🦴 Dogs with osteoarthritis can enjoy exercising even if they will be in pain later

👍 Truth! Exercise releases endorphins and adrenaline, which might numb and distract them from the pain, but it does not mean your pet doesn’t need to continue treatment or be seen by a vet.

🦴 Only elderly pets can suffer from osteoarthritis

⛔ Myth! Osteoarthritis can be caused by several different conditions, many of which are more common in older dogs, but younger animals might also be affected.

🦴 Winter is when there are most problems with chronic pain from osteoarthritis

😬 ...Sometimes! The lower temperatures and high humidity during winter make this a more challenging season for painful joints, but flare-ups can make your pet feel worse at any time of the year.

Are there any other myths about osteoarthritis you would like us to talk about? Let us know! 👇

Canine parvovirus enteritis is commonly known as a life-threatening illness in puppies, as their immune system is still immature and they cannot be vaccinated yet.

It’s highly contagious, and transmission occurs mainly through contact with the faeces of infected dogs.

Symptoms include:

👉 Diarrhoea with blood and a strong smell

👉 Reduced appetite and vomiting

👉 High fever

👉 Lethargy

This disease is one of the reasons why it’s so important to be careful with puppies who aren’t fully vaccinated by preventing interactions with dogs of unknown vaccination status! If you take your puppy outside, always carry them to prevent contact with other dogs or contaminated surfaces.

Since this is a very aggressive illness, if you spot these signs in your puppy, bring them in right away. Successful treatment includes intensive supportive care that needs to be started as soon as possible to give them the best chance of recovery.

Cats are commonly depicted in cartoons as happily drinking milk from a bowl. But should you really feed your cat milk? 🥛

Just like us, when cats are born, they have the necessary enzyme (lactase) to break down lactose (the sugar found in milk) and be able to digest it, but as they get older, many lose the ability to produce this enzyme. This means that they can’t digest dairy products properly and are, therefore, lactose intolerant.

Additionally, cats don’t really need milk to thrive; constant access to fresh water and a balanced diet are enough to fulfil their nutritional needs.

13/10/2024

Pets are as susceptible to having respiratory infections as we are! Some of them are simple and resolve by themselves, but, at times, your furry friends might suffer from a serious infection that needs veterinary help. 🦠💉

To help avoid this, we recommend that you keep your pet’s vaccinations up to date as many of them protect against respiratory infections!

Has your furry friend ever had a big issue with their respiratory system? Tell us how that went in the comments below.

Did you know pets can also have breast cancer? 🐕 🐈

That's why during October, we wanted to take the time to talk about this important cancer type in our furry friends and how you can help prevent it.

For females, the best way to reduce the chances of your furry friend developing breast cancer is by neutering them, ideally, before their first cycle.

It’s also critical that you keep an eye out for early signs like lumps on the skin and wounds that don’t seem to heal, as it’s best to treat cancer as soon as possible to ensure the best outcome.

Do you have any questions about breast cancer in animals? Don't hesitate to talk to us and we'll gladly go over any concerns you might have.

If you own a chinchilla, routine dust baths are in order.! But why do they enjoy bathing in dust?

Rolling around in the dust bath is natural chinchilla behaviour and helps to keep their coat squeaky clean, as the dust starts to absorb oils and dirt within the fur once it has penetrated their coats.

We love chinchillas and would love to see your balls of fluff in the comments below! 👇📷

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."

Four-year-old Sebastian the Jack Russell is back to his usual boisterous self after being treated at Vets4Pets Abingdon for a condition that was causing the knee caps on his back legs to dislocate when he walked.

The condition, known as medial patellar luxation, would cause him to hop or skip when exercising. It's quite common in terriers and small dog breeds, but Sebastian's case was quite severe and he was given surgery by orthopaedic surgeon Joe to deepen the groove his patella runs in on his right hind leg, and also to move and reattach his patellar tendon.

Sebastian is owned by practice vet Hannah who said: "After the operation he just wanted to get back to normal straight away but he couldn't ... and that's where we struggled. He wanted to be out and about, charging around and playing with his toys but he needed to rest." Hannah had to give him medication for six weeks to give his knees time to heal. She said: "He's absolutely fine now – he's fully recovered and running around like a lunatic again!"

05/01/2024

When 11-year-old lurcher Jess was brought into Vets for Pets Leeds Birstall 24/7 Small Animal Hospital on Christmas Eve feeling very poorly with pyometra – a life-threatening uterus infection – the team knew they had to act fast; so vet Emily and nurses JD and Hannah headed straight in to perform emergency surgery on her in the early hours of Christmas morning.

The operation went so well that by lunchtime nurse Krishna was able to call her owner Beth to say she was well enough to come home to recuperate – and Beth made the hour-long drive from her home in Keighley so she could bring Jess home before the family sat down for their Christmas dinner. Beth said: "It was a stressful start to Christmas, as we were worried about Jess because of her age and because she's never had anything wrong with her before. We're so grateful for everything – it was so nice of them to come in on Christmas Day to operate on her, to look after her so well and to get her home on top form. The vets were fantastic from start to finish. Jess is recovering nicely – you can see the happiness is back in her!"

Krishna said: "Our night team always do an amazing job, and performing serious surgery like that at that time of night and on Christmas Day of all days is just brilliant. Jess did amazingly well to bounce back so quickly, and it was amazing being able to call her owners to say that she could come home to spend Christmas with them. It's the sort of call we all love to make, but doing it on Christmas Day was extra nice."

Six-foot-long boa constrictor Astrix was the centre of attention when he called in for a routine "top to tail" health check at Vets4Pets Penzance.

Astrix, who's four, is part of a menagerie of six snakes, bearded dragons and six dogs belonging to veterinary nurse Lowenna, who works at the practice, and her partner Mark. The team looked at Astrix's eyes and mouth and checked his breathing to rule out any respiratory infections and also checked his scales.

Lowenna said: "He got a clean bill of health, he was absolutely fine and everyone had a turn holding him. Asterix is quite reserved, a little bit shy usually. He did really well when he came in as everyone wanted to touch him and he was like 'okay I quite like the attention.' Astrix has got a lovely big set-up at home. He's quite a big boy, weighing in at nearly 10 kilos, so the vivarium is more than seven foot long. We have a reptile room and he has the run of it. He has a large bucket of water too if he ever wants to submerge himself."

This brave girl is collie-cross Sherpa, who the team at Vets for Pets Livingston say was "impeccably calm" when she was rushed in for emergency injury after hurting her eye in a freak accident.

Sherpa's owner Caroline was taking Sherpa for a walk when Sherpa caught her eye on a stick as she went exploring a bush. She was quickly admitted into surgery where she received X-rays and, after a two-hour procedure by practice owner Dr Adam, aided by nurse Erin, the stick was removed. Adam said: "Sherpa was amazingly tolerant following an extremely random occurrence. It was astonishing." Sherpa didn't lose her sight and is now making a great recovery.

Caroline said: “We were suddenly thrown into the worst living nightmare, it was absolutely horrifying. It’s truly a miracle what Adam and the team achieved from the moment they answered our call for help. They gave us hope."

This little Christmas cracker is Molly, who survived against the odds and gave birth to three premature puppies after being brought in to Vets for Pets Cirencester as a pregnant stray with severe injuries from a fight with other dogs.

Martina, who owns the practice, said: ”It was really touch and go and we thought Molly might not make it. The team treated mum first, got her on a drip and stabilised her before successfully managing to deliver the puppies – two boys and a girl – by caesarean section."

Molly, who's a Cairn Terrier, and her three pups are recovering well at home with Martina. “As they needed 24/7 care I took them home and emptied the whole spare bedroom so there was a nice, warm and comfortable quiet place for Molly and her puppies. I was attached to her for the first five days – my husband Matt even brought food up to the bedroom for me as I stayed there all the time. It was really hard work but it was all worth it. They’re absolute darlings and doing really well now – mum is already brave enough to go on dog walks.”

Martina says Molly will continue living with her in the future, and the puppies will be adopted when they are stronger.

Many cat owners are familiar with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) and FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus), two very common viruses that can lead to serious or even fatal illnesses. Disease progression is characterised by destruction of the immune system and, unfortunately, there is no cure. However, we have a number of options to manage these diseases and make sure your cat is comfortable. This is especially important if your cat lives with other cats, if you have recently added another cat to the family, or if your cat has outdoor access. Unlike FIV, a vaccine is available for FeLV, so don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like more information about vaccinating your feline friend. 💉

Have you heard of feline idiopathic cystitis? Check out our reels, and get in touch with us if you spot any of these signs on your cat. 😺 If you ever notice that your cat cannot urinate or is straining to pee and nothing comes out, this is a medical emergency, and you should bring them in right away.

If you’ve ever adopted a puppy, you’ve probably heard of canine parvovirus. This illness can be life-threatening in puppies and is one of the diseases that vaccinations protect against. 💉 Check out our video, and get in touch right away if you spot these signs on your puppy!

In the wild, rabbits spend their time digging, running, jumping, hiding, eating, and socialising with other rabbits. 🐰 Enrichment is all about allowing your bunnies to carry out their natural behaviours by encouraging physical and mental stimulation, which in turn improves their quality of life. What does your rabbits' environment look like? Show us in the comments! 👇

Super fun Summer staycations with your furry friends! 🐶

Intro into dog training

If you've just got a puppy, you're in luck! We've produced a series of dog training advice videos. In the first video, Dr Huw Stacey and dog trainer, John, talk about the importance of training for a happy, healthy dog. Head over to the Vet Report website for even more training tips and advice: https://www.vets4pets.com/pet-health-advice/vet-report/livingwithyourpet/ This video was shot in 2019 before social distancing measures.

Our Story

At Vets4Pets we know your pet is a much loved part of the family and you want them to enjoy a long, healthy life. This is why our veterinary teams, made up of animal loving experts, firmly believe in providing the highest level of care and treating every pet they see like they would their own. Every Vets4Pets practice is equipped with the latest in technology, which means we can offer your pets the personalised care they need. Our practices are also designed to make your pet's time with us as comfortable as possible; just like kids don't always like going to the dentist, we know pets don't always like going to the vets! Our waiting areas are light and spacious (and with floors that can cope with little accidents) and we also have separate dog and cat wards so your pet can recuperate more comfortably after any treatment. Our vets will explain all clinical terms so you fully understand what is happening to your pet and you are fully involved in their treatment plan. This also includes being completely transparent in our pricing, so you can make informed choice on the treatment that you want your pet to receive. Come and see for yourself at our surgery, why not take a practice tour?
