❗️Important Announcement ❗️

We were reluctant to write this post but we feel the need to address this behaviour. Over the last few weeks, our staff have been subject to abusive and aggressive behaviour from a minority of our clients.

We would to make this perfectly clear: we hold an absolute zero tolerance policy on abusive behaviour towards our staff members. Nobody deserves to be made to feel uncomfortable in their workplace and especially not our hardworking team. Should you feel the need to raise a concern, our front of house team will guide you through the correct channels to do so and they will be dealt with accordingly.

We would like to stress, this is a minority of our clients and we pride ourselves on having a lovely client base and do our utmost to provide our well known gold standard care to their much loved pets.

☀️ WARM WEATHER ☀️

Here are some of our staff pets enjoying the sunshine and keeping cool!

Please be mindful that it is far too hot to walk your dogs during the day at the moment so walking them very early morning or late evening is best.

The use of cool mats, cool jackets and paddling pools are very popular and are really good ways to keep dogs cool.

Heatstroke can happen very quickly and can be fatal so if you are at all in any doubt please contact the surgery for further advice.

It’s not just dogs we need to be mindful of in the heat - Rabbits and small furries can become very hot in outdoor hutches or enclosures. Ensure plenty of access to shade and fresh water, cool packs can also be placed in with them to keep them cool.

Flies can be a huge problem as well, keep hutches cleaned out daily so they do not attract them, we also advise daily health checks for your rabbits and guineapigs especially around their rear end and tail area as the risk of flystrike can increases during the warmer weather.

Please take care when walking your dogs over the next few days. With the extreme heat of nearly 30°c expected, please avoid walking them between 10am and 4pm. The use of paddling pools for dogs who like water and cool mats or jackets are excellent ways to help keep your dog cool.

We hope everyone enjoys the weather safely!

☀️ Hot weather = hot pavements!

Avoid walking your dog in the hottest parts of the day, and do the 5-sec before stepping out to make sure the pavement is cool enough.

: Put your palm flat on the tarmac for five seconds, and if it feels too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws 🐾

A special thank you goes to Maisey’s Bakery for supplying their delicious tray bakes, they were enjoyed by everyone!

We would also like to thank RSPCA North Somerset Branch for supporting us and running their ‘Preloved stall’ of items, raising important funds for the centre.

Vet Rachel, Receptionist Tania and Beth our Veterinary Care Assistant were also running the tours earlier in the morning but missed the photo opportunity so thank you to them as well.

Thank you so much for all of the lovely feedback and comments, we are glad you love our new premises as much as we do!
