A huge thank you to all who attended our First Aid for Pet Owners session at the end of March.

The event raised a fantastic £293 for Vetlife, our charity of the year.

Pet owners were given tips on how to identify when something isn’t right with their pet and how to act in an emergency situation before getting to the vet. The morning also provided information on first aid principles, wounds and bandaging, common first aid problems and the collapsed animal. The session concluded with the opportunity to practice bandaging and CPR on animal models.

We are planning another event for later this year, so watch this space…

WORLD VETERINARY DAY 🌎

WORLD VETERINARY DAY 🌎

Today is World Veterinary Day and the theme this year is how the vet industry responded to COVID-19.

Looking back over the past year, it’s amazing to see what our team at Davies has achieved whilst working through a year like no other. From moving to remote consultations in March last year and then quickly getting our site COVID-19 compliant once we could return to face-to-face consultations, to moving all our CPD online and delivering more sessions than ever before in a single year. From completing our new diagnostics suite and winning iiE awards to continuing to support our nominated charities and the NHS. None of this would have been possible without the commitment and dedication of our team along with the continued support of our veterinary colleagues and the pets and owners who visit us. So join us in celebrating our team and the veterinary community everywhere. Happy World Veterinary Day!

Happy Easter 🐶💐🐇🐣
