Berry House has been a known and respected name in the area for over 50 years. Our main veterinary surgery is in the heart of Hitchin Town, providing animal care to town residents and those in the surrounding countryside.
* Found cat *
We have sadly today had a cat brought in to us that was found by the road on Wilbury Hills in Hitchin.
Domestic short haired, tabby, entire male with no microchip. 4 white feet.
If you believe that he could be yours or have seen any posts about a cat that matches this description please give us a call on 01462 451500.
Thank you, Berry House.
We would like to congratulate our fantastic Vet Katie for being picked for the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships 2024 in South Africa in October! She also competed at the weekend to get 3rd place which qualifies her for British Nationals and potentially a spot to do Full Power in South Africa! 💪🏻 So well deserved and we are all so proud 😁🏆
From 10 June 2024 cats over 20 weeks old must be microchipped and registered on a compliant database. 🐾
This includes cats that usually only stay indoors.
By microchipping their cats, owners can increase the likelihood that they will be reunited with their beloved pet if they go missing.
More information on how to get your cat microchipped can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/get-your-dog-cat-microchipped

They are an integral part of the team, making sure the day runs smoothly, and always make sure the treat tin is fully stocked!
A few faces are missing from the picture, however you know who you are and we are extremely grateful for your hard work ❤

It's getting cold out and you've decided to crank up the central heating. But little do you know, you've just unleashed a potential flea invasion in your cosy home. 🏠😱 Heat from your heating system provides the ideal environment for those sneaky flea eggs to hatch. And that's not all! Vibrations caused by passing pets or even people can act as a wake-up call for these pesky critters. Talk about a perfect storm for flea infestations! We've got some tips to help you outsmart these cunning parasites. ❌🔒 1️⃣ Regularly vacuum your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding to remove any potential flea hideouts. 2️⃣ Keep your furry pals protected with vet-recommended flea preventatives (included in Pet Health Club) 3️⃣ If you suspect a flea invasion, consult professionals for effective treatment options. Don't let them take over your cozy abode! 💪 Remember, prevention is key to keeping these unwanted guests at bay.

Our practice is taking part in the 2023 Antibiotic Amnesty. Throughout November 2023 we are asking pet owners to return any unused or leftover antibiotic medications to us for safe disposal. Please drop off any unused medications to us at the practice. You can hand them in to a vet, nurse or the reception team. This medication might be left-over from a recent prescription, antibiotics that you didn’t need or out-of-date medication. Let’s keep antibiotics working, together! #AntibioticAmnesty #onehealth
We hope you’re all as excited for New Years as Archie is to see the Vet! 🥳
… and video to match! 💗
The lovely Bonnie came to visit us yesterday for her VIP check - it is safe to say that tail did not stop wagging! 😍
Although rabbits originate from the western Mediterranean, they’re not actually used to spending too much time in the red-hot sun. This is because in the wild, rabbits hide out in deep burrows where it’s cool and shaded. Hot summer days can prove dangerous to our bunnies. Here are our 5 summer tips for rabbit owners . . . https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/5-summer-tips-for-rabbit-owners
