🌟🎥 Our very own TV star 🎥🌟
You may have seen our lovely Vet Suzanne if you were watching Crufts last week! Suzanne is a part of the Crufts Vet Team 👩🏼‍⚕️
A few words from Suzanne:
“I’m a Respiratory Function Grading Scheme Assessor, a vet who has been trained in testing brachycephalic dogs (brachycephalic = shortheaded) for signs of BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome).
BOAS causes affected dogs to struggle with their breathing. They may display pathological breathing sounds originating from narrowing of their upper airways.
The objective of the RFG Scheme is to assess to what degree a dog is affected. The more a dog is affected the more its life quality will be impaired. Affected dogs should be excluded from breeding programs.

This year was the first year where only dogs with an acceptable Respiratory Function Grade were allowed to be shown at Crufts 2025. This applied to Pugs, French Bulldogs and Bulldogs.

Channel 4 was present on the day filming for a documentary to educate the general public about BOAS related problems with brachycephalic breeds.
The documentary showed, that brachycephalic dogs can live a perfectly happy life if they have a low RFG grade.

It’s very important for potential puppy buyers to do their due diligence and make an informed choice before buying a bracheocephalic puppy or older dog.”

🏥 If you have a bracheocephalic breed and would like more information on how to help, please don’t hesitate to give us a call on 01562822986 🌟

😢Pet theft awareness week😢

Sadly, millions of pets are stolen each year💔 The aim of this week is to raise awareness about this terrible crime and provide information on how to prevent your pet becoming a statistic.

🐶 Microchip your pet (this is a legal requirement for cats and dogs!) - ensure your pet is microchipped and that all information is up to date.

🐱 Identification - keep a collar or identification tag on your furry friends, this should include your name, address and contact number.

🏥 Spay and neuter - this eliminates the urge to escape in order to find a mate.

‼️ Never leave your dog unattended - don’t leave your dog tied up outside a shop, unattended in a car or in your garden. It only takes a minute for a thief to grab your dog😢
Even the most vigilant dog owners can fall victim to pet theft. If you believe your pet has been stolen, take action right away!
- report as lost or stolen (including to your microchip company who can flag this when the chip is checked), share details and photos on social media, report unusual activity to the police and contact local vets.

‘Some familiar furry faces’
Here’s a post to show off some of the lovely furry faces which have recently visited us in practice!
