๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ก๐: We have been made aware that someone is calling people claiming to be from Donaldsons Vets to say we have their lost pet and they need to pay a vet bill over the phone before they can collect their animal. This is a particularly cruel scam as the caller(s) are giving the owner the hope that their animal has been found, as well as trying to take their money.
Sadly we believe whoever is making these calls is researching social media platforms for lost pets and targeting the owners.
Please be cautious if you ever receive such a call - it is unlikely to be genuine. If you are concerned, hang up and call us back on OUR number so you know you are definitely talking to one of our team.
Get ready for an unforgettable day at the Emley Show! ๐ถ๐ด๐ฎ
From thrilling agricultural events and country crafts to family entertainment and fierce competitions, there's something for everyone, and the excitement doesn't end there!
The evening event "The Emley Stomp" โ features live music, a bar, and a mouthwatering hog roast. ๐ผ๐ธ
Picture yourself enjoying all of this against the stunning Yorkshire sunset.

We look forward to seeing you there on Saturday 3rd August for another fantastic family day out!๐๐๐
This is Shortbread,
He is a 5-year-old Labradoodle, who came in on Christmas Eve because he was lethargic and off his food. ๐ฅฒ
He was diagnosed with immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) and thrombocytopenia (IMTP)
He had a blood transfusion from a staff dog on Christmas day and then had a further 2 blood transfusions with the blood from the pet blood bank in the following days.
He has been on a lot of medication and had regular appointments and checks at our veterinary hospital as we reduced his medication.
But he has finally been signed off today after nearly 7 months. ๐๐๐
Go Shortbread!! โค๐ฅฐโค๏ธ

Calling all un microchipped cats!! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
We are running feline microchipping clinics at our Somerset Hospital throughout June.
It is now a legal requirement for all cats over 20 weeks to be microchipped, including all indoor cats, or you risk paying a hefty fine!
Cat collars and tags are susceptible to loss or removal, microchipping offers a permanent and reliable method of identifying your cat, significantly boosting the chances of being reunited with their owners. Additionally, it grants immediate access to owner details in case of an emergency requiring treatment for your pet.
***Once microchipped you must register your details into the microchipping database. Please speak to your vet for more information***
