Did you know? A recent study has found that 40% of dogs less than 4 years of age had signs of osteoarthritis (OA) on x-rays! If you think your dog could have OA, speak to your vet today.

We recently saw a post about costs of routine surgery. So we decided to compare our prices against a local not-for-profit vets;

Let’s summarise our prices, which are available on our website!

Cat Castration £75 - so we are 25% cheaper

Cat Spey £100 - we are 46% cheaper

Dog Castration £200-240 - we are upto 17% cheaper

Dog Spey £260-300 - we are upto 16% cheaper

Rabbit Castration £85 - we are 54% cheaper

Rabbit Spey £140 - we are 25% cheaper

We never compete on price as we believe quality should always be the primary consideration!

Knowing we deliver this and offer routine prices that are 17-54% cheaper than non-profit clinics gives us immense pride in the our ability to offer affordable and excellent veterinary care!

Thanks for all your votes guys in the Wirral Globe Best for Pets 2024. So many of you managed to find time to support us!

Even if we don’t win it’s great to have been nominated. I see the teams hard work day2day as I’m in pretty much 7d/week and we do a great job for people’s pets.

What is really nice though is that it is clear as a family we all appreciated each other by taking the time to vote.

As clients thanks for showing you appreciate our hardwork as we do work hard! If pets could vote I think they would all have done so too as they know how well they are looked after.

Win or runner-up thanks so much to all those who took the time to support the practice! We are one of only 2 teams nominated last year and this which is a huge honour.

A big shout out to all the other nominees, who also do a fab job but especially well done to my friend Sharon at Celandine for all her hard work and thanks to Dogs Go for letting my dog play at Doggy Day Care - Cali loves Phillipa!

Wellness means how to keep pets healthy in advance of sickness, focusing on prophylactic health management rather than reactive medicine. This means less illness, less use of medicines, greater quality of life and longer lives for our pets!

Richard is renowned in this field, which is lucky for us, but today and tomorrow he will be away lecturing at an exclusive Wellness event with groups travelling across the UK to listen to how they can improve their Wellness offerings!

Have fun Richard!

Our orthopaedics team, led by our own “Northern Supervet” Tom, are some of the most experienced in the area.

This gives access to affordable, excellent orthopaedic repairs that can be done quickly and without the long anaesthetic times which is common with less experienced surgeons.

Look at this beautiful fracture repair performed by our surgery team!

* Leading Keyhole Centre on the Wirral *

The safest place for a keyhole surgery on the Wirral? We think that is probably us!

Our team have performed over 200 laparoscopic speys at the practice in the last 2 years alone.

This procedure is less invasive, has a quicker recovery and means a quicker return to walks and play time!

Receptionist Appreciation Post;

Meet the receptionists;

Our Reception Manager is Kayleigh.

Kayleigh has worked as both an ACA and Receptionist here and oversees our team helping them with support and training. She is also part of the admin support for accounts and insurance!

Olivia joined us after finding out about the job from one of our very first employee’s Chris. You will recognise Olivia as she is very chatty and wears super cool (or so she tells us!) glasses acquired on TikTok!

Meg joined us after a career in school administration and we all know that herding animals is the only thing harder than herding children! She is experienced in understanding how parents and pet-parents worry about their babies and is a supportive ear to all when visiting.

Georgia spent her life in hospitality and knows how important it is to help people stay happy and have a good experience. She is a real people person and will often be seen as a friendly face or voice in reception or on the phone.

Naomi is from N.Ireland so brings some international flare to our reception team! With a degree in Zoology Naomi is always the one who thinks the weather is great, meaning she always has a smile on her face!

Helen is a true SV advocate and many of you will have seen her as both client and as part of the Reception team. Helen is noted for her infectious enthusiasm and is always a big personality. You will know her as the spokesperson for the SV fan club!

Susan is the newest member of the team, joining us from another local vet practice. She loves the family feel of an independent practice and is enjoying being part of your journey when you visit.

Please consider giving any of our reception team a mention on both a Google review (and ideally a VetHelpDirect review).

They really take pride in their work and we know how much it means to them when they do a great job!

If you have reviewed us on both comment below and we will enter you into a free prize draw!
