From today, new laws have come into force in England making it a legal requirement for all cats to be microchipped. Although the same law is not (yet) in force in Scotland, we'd strongly encourage all cat owners to microchip their pets.
Please give us a call if you'd like any more information about this.

One week to go until compulsory cat microchipping comes into force in England! ⏳

This means that you must have your cat microchipped by June 10th.

Riggs was found and scanned for a microchip. He had been missing for four years! Thanks to the power of microchipping, he was reunited with his owner.

Due to a recent change in the regulations regarding the most commonly-used Flea, Tick and Worm treatment, we now require at least 24 hours' notice if you're ordering FTW treatment for your pet.

In addition, if your animal hasn't been seen by a vet recently, you might need to bring them in for a free weight check with the vet before we can dispense the medication.

Please call the surgery for more information.

** little Jason the cat is back home with his owners ** 🙂

We're keen to find the owners of this lovely boy! He has a clipped patch of fur on his neck, suggesting he's been recently blood-sampled, which may suggest he needs daily medication that he's currently missing out on.
