Remember that the pavements still stay hot for quite a while, so stick to early am, late pm grass walks (but watch out for those pesky grass seeds!).

Also add an extra bowl of water in your garden for our cats and wildlife, as they will be looking out for extra help and refreshments.

Feel free to share your 'keeping cool' tips.

Just a little reminder when dog walking in the next week or two, as it's going to get hot, hot, hot....

Please review the weather forecasts and try to go early am or late pm for exercise.

Stay cool everyone 😎

Covid update No 3- 22nd June 2022

If you already have a scheduled appointment with one of our vets for Thursday 23rd June in the AFTERNOON please can you contact the surgery on 023 92 377277.

We have been unable to contact some clients via their mobiles/text messages and emails, as we have had no response. We need to reschedule these appointments, due to no vet availability still ☹.

Both vets and our RVN are recovering now, but still testing positive.

Please continue to email NON urgent requests to [email protected]. We will be monitoring these and reply with a response, etc...

Sincere apologies again. Thank you for your continued support, we really do appreciate it.

Covid update No 2 - 20th June 2022

Apologies but vet 2 has now tested positive, so we are on minimum staff this week ☹.

We are reviewing all appointments booked this week, so we may be in touch to reschedule.

Please continue to email NON urgent requests to [email protected]. We will be monitoring these and reply with a response, etc...

Sincere apologies again. Thank you for your continued support, we really do appreciate it.

Covid Update

So unfortunately we have been effected by Covid today 😢.

This means we will not be open for Saturday morning on 18th June 2022. We have arranged cover for emergencies with Downland Vets for this period of time. After 12pm Vets Now will resume our normal out of hours.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your support. Please feel free to email [email protected] for NON emergency/routine enquiries. We will work through them accordingly.

Thank you for your patience.

Grass seeds are back with a vengeance! Please check all paws, ears, eyes and the whole body, after each and every walk.

12/06/2022

We have an exciting announcement to make. Our front door is back to pre Covid status! This means you are able to enter the surgery now without our staff having to open the door for you. Hurrah!

We will still be keeping to allocated appointment times and medication collections, (as this helps us to ensure that medications aren't forgotten).

It's also perfect for our doggy pals to just use to our scales and receive some treats. So please feel free to pop in when passing by to say hello.

Thank you all.

It's Vet nurse awareness month and we are extremely proud of our team.

Below is a brief outline of what are nurses do, but they also do so much more! They are often in the background, ensuring all our patients receive the best care and love they can provide.

So thank you Kathryn, Lucy, Katie C, Laura and Jessica.

Special thanks to Leanne and Charlie, (are veterinary care assistants), whom are on their training path to become qualified nurses.

We couldn't do our jobs without them! ❤❤❤

Unfortunately we have some very sad news.

Somebody has just brought in a female adult, all black cat with with a beige diamanté collar, no microchip. Found 100 yards from practice on White Hart Lane. It looks as though she was involved in a road traffic accident and is no longer with us.

Please contact us on 023 92 377277, if you have any information, as we would like to notify her owners.

Apologies for this upsetting announcement.

01/05/2022

The three amigos! We have had a fantastic week back post Covid and had some amazing patients this week including these 3 brothers. Thank you all for a fabulous week, much appreciated ❤❤❤.

29/04/2022

Please keep an eye out for this chap, his owners are missing him, (who could blame them ❤). Missing from St Nicholas Avenue.

What to do this weekend with your old cardboard? Looking forward to seeing your 'Blue Peter' constructions 😁

14/04/2022

What a week!

We have to say a big shout out to our few remaining staff this week, who have performed above and beyond. So special thanks to;

Katie C RVN (nurse)
Ema (vet)
Leanne (student vet nurse)
Jessica (our nearly qualified RVN)
Rhianna and Julie (reception superstars)
Chrissie (all rounder and always helps out when we need her)

The rest of your team are so proud of you all. Huge respect and gratitude ❤❤❤.

Also a big thank you to Paula Byng (practice manager), for organising everything in the background whilst being poorly yourself. Get well soon.

Last but definitely not least is a huge good luck to our mum to be Katie Patrick. This was her last week before maternity leave, (she has hidden her bump well!). We are going to miss her like crazy but will keep you all updated with her baby news. Thank you Katie for all your hard work, you are amazing and we will miss you and Tess, (her labrador who came in everyday with her) ❤❤❤🐾🐾.

Covid update 14th April 2022.

It saddens us to say that the increase in Covid cases has now had an effect on our team, to the point that we are unable to offer routine appointments tomorrow. Therefore we are only open for emergency appointments on Thursday 14th April 2022.

We apologise for this inconvenience and will be re-assessing the situation before Tuesday 19th April 2022. We are hoping this Easter break will give everyone chance to recover.

Please feel free to send any non urgent enquiries to [email protected]. Please be aware there maybe some delays in processing these enquiries.

Thank again for your continued support. We really do appreciate your patience in this matter.

Stay well all our furry friends and their parents.
Happy Easter 🐣

The Portchester Team.

Covid Update for 9th April 2022

We apologise in advance but we will have no vet on site tomorrow morning, due to Covid.

If you require emergency advice please contact us on 023 92 377277 and we will assist you from there.

For non urgent enquiries, please email at [email protected]. We will process these requests early next week.

Again, please accept sincere apologies. We appreciate your support in this matter.

Stay well everyone.

We will still emergency cover in place, so please call 02392 377277, which will direct your call accordingly.

Happy Easter from the Portchester team.

The sun is out! And so are the parasites!

Do you have adequate coverage for ticks and fleas? Please contact the surgery if you are unsure, or would like to see which products would suit your pet/s requirements.

Enjoy this sunshine 🌞 💛 ☀️

15/03/2022

Want to see how well trained we are? Anything for these fabulous four. We are sure they enjoy their visits as much as we do ❤

11/03/2022

Well what can we say.... We have had the honour of meeting and treating so many patients this week, it's been a busy one. We thought we would share this handsome chap with you all. Isn't he adorable ❤❤❤.
