💚We offer a friendly, warm, welcoming atmosphere for all of our clients, from our lovely receptionists, skilled nurses and dedicated vets.

We believe this starts by building genuine close relationships within our team – we work and play together and when new members join, we do our best to show them how to make the most of life on our beautiful island. 🏝

With all of that in mind, we couldn’t be happier with how this video turned out. It’s always nerve wracking to try something new, but the brief was to capture both our team spirit and our beautiful island, and we think that’s exactly what it does.

If you’re interested in life at a veterinary practice in Orkney, please have a watch and let us know what you think. And if you’re interested in working with us, we’d love to hear from you.

Send your CV to [email protected] and we’ll be in touch for an informal, confidential chat.

🐾 Dog Poo & Toxocara – A Hidden Health Risk! 🐾

Did you know that dog poo can contain Toxocara—a parasite that poses serious health risks to humans, especially children?

⚠ Toxocara eggs are shed in dog poo and can survive in soil for months or even years.
⚠ If accidentally ingested, they can cause Toxocariasis, leading to fever, organ damage, and even vision loss.
⚠ Children are most at risk as they often play on contaminated grass or soil.

🐶 Be a responsible dog owner:
✔ Always pick up after your dog
✔ Dispose of waste properly
✔ Keep worming treatments up to date

To help keep our community safe, Northvet is now providing FREE dog poo bags to all our clients! Stop by and grab some today.

Let's protect our pets, our families, and our environment! 💚🐾
