Say Hi to Hoover! 👋
Here he is chilling in his lace trimmed knickers 🤭 his fur mummy says he has to wear them to prevent him licking his wound, which he doesn't look *too* happy about. Better than the cone of shame, Hoover! 🧐🤣

13/06/2024

Here's Henry! He visited us recently for his Librela and brought along his toy mushroom to show us 🥹😍

Librela is administered to dogs as a monthly subcutaneous injection, and is used as pain relief to treat dogs with osteoarthritis pain. Managing canine osteoarthritis can be complex and challenging, if you suspect your dog is struggling or you may need advice, why not book an appointment to discuss with one our Vets for more information.

11/06/2024

For those of our clients who are yet to find out, we said our farewells to Practice Manager Tracy as she moves onto the next adventure in her life - RETIREMENT! 🥳

Tracy will still be around to help us out behind the scenes but she has officially left Sandbeck Veterinary Centre after being here since the very beginning! We can't thank her enough for all that she has done over the years, we just wanted to take this opportunity for everyone to wish her the very best, and hope she enjoys every moment of this next phase of life 🥰

Update on Heart Health Protocols! ❤

We have recently been reviewing our patients with heart disease due to improvements in the way both us as a practice, and yourselves as owners, can monitor and manage these cases.

We feel it is important to keep our patients up to date with the latest developments in treatment. These developments are always a step forward in how we can help your pets and often improve their quality of life and prolong survival.

For pets diagnosed with a heart murmur, we strongly recommend scheduling an examination every six months. During these check-ups, our experienced veterinarians will carefully listen to your pet's heart and thoroughly assess any changes or developments. Early detection and intervention are key in managing heart conditions effectively.

Additionally, for pets already on therapy for heart disease, we can re-evaluate their current medication to see if this is optimum for your pet and explore the ways we can monitor them more effectively, some of which can be done at home with no costs. This will ensure their current drugs and doses remain the best possible combination. We can discuss whether there are any new medications on the market that they may benefit from.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet's heart health or if you'd like to schedule an appointment for an examination or medication review, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by phone or using PetsApp.

Our goal is to ensure that any heart-related issues are closely monitored and addressed promptly to provide the best possible care for your pets 🐾❤

Get your cat microchipped before it becomes the law this summer, or get your cats microchip checked.

This will be a cat only clinic to try and minimise the stress of a visit to the vets 🐱

🌟 May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! 🌟

This month, we want to show you a little bit more in depth what it is our nurses do. Keep your eyes peeled for snippets of some exclusive behind the scenes footage of them at work.

For now, please do share in the comments below if you have any stories about our nurses helping you and your pets. We would love to share these with our amazing team 🥰

We've noticed a concerning rise in the number of dogs with ticks. This isn't uncommon as the dampness persists while temperatures start to climb. Ticks thrive in these conditions and pose a serious threat to our furry friends. It's essential to stay vigilant 👀 and protect your pets from these pesky parasites!

Tick bites can lead to various health issues for your beloved pet, including Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

Book an appointment with us to discuss preventative treatments tailored to your dog's needs and ensure a happy, tick-free season for your furry companions 💊💛

Yesterday, we had an unchipped, 7/8 month old tabby Tom cat bought to us- found near Stockeld Park, sadly they were found deceased. 😢

Our little mate Simba came in to see us this week, and has been coming to see us for years 💛 these photos were taken 4 years apart and here you can see him jumping up at our reception desk waiting for his treats like he always has 🥹

26/04/2024

It breaks our hearts to have to share this news, but today the team here at Sandbeck said their goodbyes to our best boy, Benny.

He might have been Helen's dog, and the first dog to step their paws in to Sandbeck Veterinary Centre, but he really was a huge part of our team and always there - especially where food was involved.

We had a little send off for him in the practice today. His memory will live on within us and we will cherish all the fond memories we hold of him. We are the first friends Benny ever had ❤️

26/04/2024

Christmas Toxins Alert!

🐾 Attention Pet Parents! 🐾 'Tis the season to be merry, but let's not forget about our furry friends during the festivities! 🐶🐱 As we deck the halls and indulge in holiday cheer, it's crucial to be aware of potential dangers lurking for our beloved pets. Christmas Toxins Alert! 🍫 Chocolate: The sweetest treats can be toxic for our pets. Keep those chocolate Santas and cocoa powders out of reach! 🌲 Mistletoe & Holly: These festive plants may be beautiful, but they can cause serious harm to our fur babies. Opt for pet-safe decorations! 🍇 Grapes & Raisins: Delicious in holiday dishes, but deadly for pets. Keep your grapes and raisin-filled goodies well-guarded. 🌺 Poinsettias: The classic holiday plant can cause stomach upset and irritation. Consider pet-friendly alternatives. 🍬 Xylitol: Found in sugar-free treats and gum, xylitol is a big no-no for pets. Keep sugar substitutes away from curious noses! 🌸 Lilies: Gorgeous but deadly to our feline friends! Ensure any lilies are kept far away from cats, as ingestion can lead to serious kidney issues. ❄️ Antifreeze: 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. 🕯️ Candles & Lights: Wagging tails and playful paws can spell disaster around open flames. Use flameless candles and secure electrical cords. 🎉 Loud Noises & Crowds: Not all pets enjoy the hustle and bustle of holiday gatherings. Create a quiet retreat for your furry friends to escape the noise. 👀 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 holiday season.

Somebody found fun in all the flooding Storm Babet left behind 🐾

September is Pet Pain Awareness Month! What signs should you look out for in your dog?

How much fun can you have with a shoe box?! #kittensofinstagram #veterinarymedicine #sandbeckvets #catsofinstagram

This is Milo, Tracy’s cat who was brought in to see Mark with lameness and holding up his foreleg. An X-ray showed mild changes to both Milo’s elbows. We were surprised as he is only 6! Mark started Milo on Solensia and I was amazed within 4 days the difference in him. Milo is still very slightly lame but much happier in himself and is now back to hunting! Solensia is indicated to control pain associated with feline osteoarthritis. Tracy said - 'The video is not very good at showing the extent of his lameness and Olive insists on getting in on the act too but just wanted to share this as I am so pleased!' See the photo in the comment which shows Milo holding up his leg prior to having Solensia. For more information on Solensia or if you feel your cat is not quite right then contact the practice on 01937 228780 or [email protected]

🐈‍⬛🐾

It isn’t always plain sailing for the vets… Here is Mark and Lucy showing how to apply a spot on treatment to a playful puppy 🐶

Here’s Tommy! Tommy is 10 years old and has early kidney disease which means he’s at increased risk of developing high blood pressure. As you can see here, he’s very relaxed having his blood pressure readings taken. You can see on the video that he has a paediatric blood pressure cuff on his front right leg.

Prevention is better than cure! 🩺 Untreated high blood pressure in cats can lead to serious and irreversible damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes, resulting in blindness in some cases. By being proactive and booking your cat in for regular blood pressure checks, they could be avoiding the potentially life- threatening consequences of feline hypertension. #CatBloodPressure #FHAM

It's #FelineHypertensionMonth which is why we're spreading awareness of how important it is to know the signs of high blood pressure in your cat Quite often, cats will show no noticeable signs of having high blood pressure. Subtle changes in behaviours can be a crucial indicator that something isn't quite right! Blood pressure checks are the best way to diagnose and screen for feline hypertension. Be sure to book regular checks for your cat. #CatBloodPressure #FHAM

Here’s Tom and Jo taking a blood pressure from Strom! No fear here!🐱

Signs of feline hypertension are often invisible and unfortunately, many cats only show signs of hypertension after the disease starts to cause serious damage to their heart, brain, kidneys and eyes. Make sure your cat is getting their blood pressure checked regularly! #CatBloodPressure #FHAM

Did you know that May is Feline Hypertension month? High blood pressure in cats, also known as feline hypertension, is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs in around 1 in 5 cats over 9 years of age. This disease is treatable with medication, but 82% of senior cats don't receive blood pressure checks. Call your vet today to get your cat's blood pressure checked. #CatBloodPressure #FHAM

Getting into bed on a Friday after a long week of work like…🤣😴

A lovely client recently brought a duck into the practice after he was hit by a car. Thankfully he came away only a bump to the head and after a few days rest, with student nurse Kaitlyn, he was fit enough to be relocated to a pond further away from any main roads and is happily swimming around with his new friends. 🦆

How Sandbeck Veterinary Centre Began

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, Julian’s 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.
