**Star Pet Of The Month**
We have great pleasure in awarding lovely Aggie Phillips our Pet Star of the Month for June 2024.
Aggie was diagnosed with Lymphoma in July 2023. Aggie went through a course of chemotherapy and finally went into remission.
Unfortunately, in April 2024 the Lymphoma came back and now Aggie is visiting us on a weekly basis for chemo.
Aggie is always so happy to see us, even helping the nurses out with their paper work. We feel that her humans also deserve a cheer for everything they do for her. Well done guys 🥂⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾

New laws have been published this week for vets in the U.K. and how they prescribe medications

Much of it is what we do already but if you are in the profession I can highly recommend reading this blog from Vet Help Direct which sets out the changes very clearly.

If you are a pet owner, the most important thing to note is that it will now become a criminal offence, potentially punishable by jail time, if a vet advises you to purchase human medication for your animals.

There is often some heated debate over vets prescribing, or dispensing prescriptions for, human medications and the cost difference between them and the over-the-counter versions, but it is absolutely vital to understand that we have to do it this way to remain within the law and the ensure your pet receives a safe, effective dose and receives exactly the right type of treatment.

I appreciate it can be frustrating but please don’t blame your local vet!

** Star Pet of the Month **
We would like to announce our first Star Pet of the month for May, Polly Hodgkinson ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polly was diagnosed with glaucoma in January 2024. Her human Angie had to give her eye drops daily but unfortunately, the pressure in her eyes became too great and on 12th April, Polly had to have both her eyes removed.
Polly rose to the challenge, is still loving life and always wagging her tail. She is an absolute star!! Well done Polly and well done Angie too 🤩🐶🐾
