Aren't Barnaby & Hettie two of the most adorable spaniel puppies you ever did see with their little eyebrows ๐๐
We don't have favourites here, but our admin, Sam, is totally obsessed with spaniels in particular, it's not often she will walk past without asking for a photo and a cuddle ๐ค

Meet Pablo, an excitable young Labrador who was brought in to us by his owner as he had experienced excessive vomiting and became lethargic. At this point, his owner didn't think he had swallowed anything he should not have.
Our vets advised undertaking x-rays as all signs were pointing to a foreign body. As the x-ray image shows, there was definitely something ball-like in there, and our vets had to get to work on removing the item - turns out it was actually an intact rubber ball!
Pablo has now made a full recovery and is back to his happy self, and hopefully keeps himself out of mischief in future ๐๐ฅฐ

'Tis the season to be merry, but let's not forget about our furry friends during the festivities! ๐ถ๐ฑ As we deck the halls and indulge in festive cheer, it's crucial to be aware of potential dangers lurking for our beloved pets.
๐ซ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ: The sweetest treats can be toxic for our pets, and the wrappers can be dangerous too! Keep those chocolate Santas and cocoa powders out of reach!
๐ฒ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฒ & ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐: These festive plants may be beautiful, but they can cause serious harm to our fur babies. Opt for pet-safe faux alternatives!
๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ & ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐: Delicious in holiday dishes, but deadly for pets. Keep your grapes and raisin-filled goodies such as mince pies and Christmas cakes well-guarded!
๐บ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐: The classic Christmastime plant can cause stomach upset and irritation. Consider pet-friendly alternatives.
๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐น๐ถ๐๐ผ๐น: Found in sugar-free treats and gum, xylitol is a big no-no for pets. Keep sugar substitutes away from curious noses!
โ๏ธ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ: With colder weather comes the use of antifreeze. Be cautious, as it's highly toxic to pets. Clean up spills promptly and store it securely.
๐ฏ๏ธ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐ & ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐: Wagging tails and playful paws can spell disaster around open flames. Use flameless candles and secure electrical cords.
๐ Keep a close eye on your pets during the holiday hustle and bustle, and if you suspect they've ingested something toxic, contact us immediately! Our team is here to help keep your pets safe and sound this season.
We wish a happy and healthy holiday for all our four-legged friends! โจ

**Found**
UPDATE: Reunited with owners
We have had a black and white female cat handed into the practice, she is microchipped but mobile number invalid, found in the Wetherby area.
If you think she might be yours please contact the practice on 01937 228780
As temperatures drop, many of us start using antifreeze for our vehicles. Unfortunately, this common winter chemical poses a serious danger to our pets.
๐พ ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐?
Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, a highly toxic substance that can be deadly to animals if ingested - even in small amounts. What makes it worse? Its sweet taste is appealing to pets, increasing the risk of accidental poisoning.
โ๏ธVomiting
โ๏ธLethargy or stumbling
โ๏ธIncreased thirst or urination
โ๏ธSeizures
โ๏ธNeurological signs
โ๏ธAbdominal pain
If you suspect your pet has ingested antifreeze, seek emergency veterinary care immediately. Time is critical!
๐พ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ:
โ๏ธ Store antifreeze securely and out of reach.
โ๏ธ Clean up spills thoroughly and immediately.
Letโs work together to keep our furry friends safe this winter! Share this post to spread the word. ๐

Lucy and her not-so-little pal, Isaac. He is only a pup now, but we think he's going to grow to be a big lad with paws that size! ๐พ๐
We want to inform you that our vaccine manufacturer is discontinuing the Lepto 2 (L2) vaccine. All dogs will now start on or transition to the Lepto 4 (L4) vaccine. This change is based on the latest recommendations from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), which highlight the enhanced protection offered by the Lepto 4 vaccine with no increase in vaccination-associated side effects.
Lepto 2 only protects against two strains of Leptospira, leaving dogs at risk for infections from the additional strains.

Some of you might remember this litter of Great Dane pups that were pulled in to our practice in a big trolley a year ago now for their puppy vaccinations. Well, here we are one year on and big Blue returning for his booster! Such a good boy! ๐ฉต

๐จBonfire Night is just around the corner!๐จ
Not everyone is a fan of fireworks, certainly not the majority of our pets! If your pet really struggles during this time of year, now is the time to plan ahead and liaise with your vet about calming medication and stress relief options.

A little change to medication requests ๐
If your pet is on repeat medication including flea and worm treatment, please can we ask that you request this 48 hours in advance of when you require it. This allows us to guarantee medication is ordered and delivered and in stock for you to collect.
You can continue to request medication in your usual way, but please keep in mind the 48 hours turnaround ๐ซถ๐ป
You've seen all the puppies we get to meet, but it's not often we get kittens to cuddle. These ones were so brave and curious, clambering all over our front desk and reception team ๐๐

How cute are these little Labrador puppies being super curious and a whole lot of cute as they explore our consultation room, each taking turns to be microchipped and vaccinated. Who knew a trip to the vet could be this precious? ๐ฅน๐ญ๐
Can you see how many Labrador puppies were in this litter?

Almost a year ago, the unit was vacant, previously being a veterinary surgery. Julian Norton approached old school friend, Mark Harrison, with the idea of creating an independent, veterinary centre where the animals and the team were at the heart of it.
With this vision in mind, Julian and Mark approached Veterinary Surgeon Helen Blackburn, Julianโs previous work colleague, and Tracy Hemingway, who previously worked for Mark as a Veterinary Nurse then Practice Manager. The vision became a reality when the lease was signed - then it was all hands on deck!
This is how the practice looked before the work began:
The refurbishment began during the second week of October. With only six weeks to get the practice ready for your adorable pets we had to work very hard, with a lot of help from Adam Szefer and his team.
Finally, on the 22nd of November, 3 days before the opening, all the building was complete! All that was left was a lot of cleaning...
On the 25th of November, 2019 at 8:00am we opened our doors and welcomed our new clients. Heres a few of our first friends:
We hope this is the start of a huge journey, providing the best care with your pets and our team at the heart of this. Thank you for all your support.
