What a great team!

Clinical Director, Luke Harris and team are running the 10K on Sunday 25th February to raise money for New Life.

Luke and his wife Emily had an unexpected arrival on 26th February 2023 when his son, Teddy, was born six weeks premature. After spending two weeks in the special care baby unit at the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust he finally came home and has managed to go from strength to strength.

The team has already smashed its £1000 target but hopes to keep raising more funds for this event's project which is to buy a cutting-edge ventilator for The Buscot Unit at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust valued at £30,000.

🦷 Dental Awareness 🦷

Take a look at the transformation in this dog’s mouth after having a dental scale and polish.

Dental hygiene is very important for your dogs overall health, it will help to prevent smelly breath, and reduce the need for tooth extractions.

We recommend brushing your dogs teeth everyday, or even a couple of times a week to help prevent the build up of plaque and tartar.

Did you know, if you are on our Preventative Health Care Plan you get 10% off dentals and our range of dental care products.

Please call 01488 683999 for Hungerford or 01672 563413 for our Pewsey Branch to book an appointment to discuss your pets oral health. Alternatively you can pop in to browse the dental products we have on sale.

It's that time of year again where you might find young Wildlife when out walking and enjoying the sun, including: fledglings, baby rabbits, hares and hedgehogs.

It's not always easy to tell when wild animals need our help, and when it's best to leave them alone.

If you find a young animal that is not obviously injured it is best to leave it where it is, it's parent probably knows it's there.

If you can see an obvious injury or you've been monitoring it and it hasn't moved for a long period of time, either contact the RSPCA, a local wildlife centre or us here at Hungerford Vets. We always try our best to help sick wildlife, unfortunately sometimes the kindest thing to do it to humanely euthanise. However, sometimes we get the chance to re-release them to the wild. Our nurse Katy recently released a tawny owl back to where was found. Our team here also love hedgehogs and always try our best to get them back to health and find a rehabilitation centre for them.

If you are unsure on what to do have a look at the RSPCA advice on wildlife, or if you have any questions feel free to contact us and speak with one of our lovely nurses.

If you find a sick or injured wild animal follow our advice on how to help.
