Customer parking 🚗

Polite request.
Can we ask that you only park in the allocated parking spaces in front of the practice.
Our gates are in constant use by staff and large vans so the area in front of the gates needs to be completely clear.
Also please do not go through the gates and park in the staff parking area.
There is good side road parking available if the car park is full.
Thank you 😊

Today's 'Meet the team' is one of our client care assistants Sarah.
Many of you may know her as she seems to know everyone!

I started my career as a veterinary receptionist in March 2017 working at Vets4Pets in Hinckley where I became Head Receptionist. I really enjoyed my role there but left in 2021 to work at Bell, Brown & Bentley vets as they offered me set hours. Whilst at Bell, Brown & Bentley I completed the Bronze, Silver & Gold BVRA award and became an Associate Veterinary receptionist. I moved to Medivet Roston Drive in May 2023 as it’s much closer to where I live and I can walk to work. I love working as part of the Medivet Roston Drive Team and meeting all the pets and their owners. In my spare time I enjoy walking, spending time with my 4 grandchildren and looking after our 4 cats and dog.

Applying spot on flea treatment to cats and dogs.
It should be applied to the back of the neck just below their head and not between their shoulders.
If it's applied too low down between the shoulders they can lick it, particularly cats. It tastes nasty and can make them drool.
Some spots ons need applying monthly and some three monthly.
