You may have seen posts on other pages or heard speculation about the future of Head & Head Veterinary Practice, and we would like to provide an update so you, our valued clients, are fully aware of what is happening.

The practice has been struggling financially for the past two years but we are working with our dedicated, hard-working team members on ways to safeguard our future.

We value the support of all of our wonderful clients whilst we work through options for the practice. The care of patients is unaffected, with both routine consultations and emergency care provision continuing as normal.

We will update you again at the earliest opportunity, but in the meantime thank you for the many well wishes we have received.

Vet David at Head and Head Veterinary Practice Ltd came to visit the rescue today for our annual inspection.

He timed it just right as I was cleaning out the herbs and spices (Fennel, Saffron, Tumeric and Star Anise) for the third time today, so David transferred them back into the large ICU for me.

These visits are SO important...Being our registered veterinary practice they inspect the rescue as a whole, assess the patients, review paperwork from standard operating procedures, our medication agreement/stock list, admission forms, daily checks, release policies, and all the other policies and procedures associated with the running of a hedgehog rescue.

I'm delighted to announce that Vet David is very happy with the set up here, everything that is in place and no recommendations were given.

Yay! 🥳❤🦔💙

🐾 Ever wonder why your cat bumps their head against you?

This endearing behaviour, known as 'bunting,' is a display of affection and trust. Cats have scent glands on their heads, and by rubbing against you, they're marking you with their unique scent, a gesture reserved for their closest companions.

Embrace the feline love! 😺

☀️ SUMMER TIME ☀️

As the sun starts to shine brighter, let's not forget some of our pale skinned furry friends' skin protection!

May 27th is Sunscreen Day, reminding us of the importance of safeguarding those pet such as white coated animals with pink skin from harmful UV rays. Just like us, some pets can suffer from sunburn and may occasionally lead to skin cancer.

Ensure your pet stays safe in the sun by limiting access to direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. If tolerated and won’t be licked off, apply pet-safe sunscreen to exposed areas. Also, provide shady spots outdoors.

Let's keep our pets happy, healthy, and sun-safe! ☀️🐾

🐾 Attention all cat owners in England! 🐱

Don't forget, the deadline for microchipping your feline friend is quickly approaching. Starting from June 10th, it's a legal requirement for ALL CATS in England to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they're 20 weeks old. Remember, failing to comply could result in a hefty fine of up to £500! But fear not, microchipping your cat doesn't have to break the bank - it's a small price to pay for peace of mind and compliance with the law 🏷️

Don't wait until it's too late! Contact our team today to schedule a microchipping appointment for your furry friend and ensure they're protected and legal.

04/05/2024

We have had a male neutered ginger cat handed in to the practice, found in the lower town area. Unfortunately his chip is not registered, if you think this cat may be yours please give the practice a ring on 01326 572216.

❤️ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ❤️ 3 signs your rabbit loves you 🐰 As a prey species, it can be difficult to spot signs of affection that your rabbit gives you. Here’s what to look out for ⏬ 💗 Binkying: This is where your rabbit will suddenly run, leap, and twist in the air! Sit back and enjoy the show. 💗 If your rabbit just flops out, fully stretched out, this means they’re super relaxed and feel unthreatened around you. 💗 A little headbutt, rub or nudge against you is them looking for some loving attention. Bonus points if you can share some of the above signs of love with us in the comments! #ValentinesDay

❤️ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ❤️ How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬ 💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you! 💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most. 💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it. These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞 #ValentinesDay

❤️ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ❤️ They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬ 💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat! 💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets 💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals. 💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love! Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽 #ValentinesDay

**Puppy Socialisation classes** Our previously popular classes are restarting on the Tuesday 14th March. Please contact 01326 572216 during office hours, to secure your puppies place!!
