Dryfe Vets

24/07/2024

Good morning, not a post that we were wanting to write but unfortunately we have had more than 10 no shows in the past 2 days alone. As our time is valuable and we are having to turn sick patients away for appointments, please contact us as soon as you know you cannot make your appointment. Unfortunately as the number of missed appointments are creeping up week on week we may have to start implementing a charge for these. Thanks for your understanding.

We hope you've enjoyed Maple and Ralph's antics
We think they've been pretty fantastic

There's a few new friends to add to their group,
With Rolly, Ace and Truffles completing their troop.

While the boss was away, the kids decided to play
Unfortunately meaning they're going to miss the big day!

So now with plenty of joy and good cheer,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!! 🎄🎄🎄

Unfortunately Maple and Ralph are now officially on the naughty list. They took it a couple of steps too far by spying on the boss.....

21/12/2023

Official Warning
Dear Maple and Ralph
While here at Dryfe Vets we encourage a friendly relaxed atmosphere a line has to be drawn somewhere.
Small rodents prancing and dancing around while senior management is absent is not acceptable and cometh the time when that line is crossed there will have to be consequences.
Furthermore your slapdasher attitude to wrapping is not acceptable. We strive to be better, and a donner and blitzen approach to your work is not good enough. Corners have not been folded neatly and sticky tape is too visible
We know you two have been struck by cupids arrow sneaking around getting up to no good, we were also aware Ralph was a naughty elf but it has now come to light Maple is a cheeky v***n
We are sure you’ll tidy up after yourselves

Yours festively
L.H. Proud
Casa Sultan
Management

Ralph wanted to show off our new Ovacyte machine which is our in-house faecal analyser for cows, sheep and horses. Ralph decided he wanted to test his friends faeces to make sure they are worm and fluke free 💩

14/12/2023

A wee reminder to remember to order your pets food and medication if you're gonna run out over Christmas and New Year 🎄🎄
We are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of both Christmas and New Year with only one vet on-call for emergencies.

While the boss is away....the kids will play 🤫
