Sometimes kennels can be a bit noisy. Today was very quiet. I went to investigate….. and found them all happy and relaxed, and listening to a bit of Classic FM. George Gershwin indeed, and ‘Walking the Dog!’ 🥰🦮
Willis popped into our Keyworth branch for his post-op check today. ITS HIS BIRTHDAY!!!!! We hope he had a great day! ❤️🥰

Ady and Lorna talk Vet stuff…..
If anyone wants a listen - this is my chat with Ady Dayman on BBC Radio Leicester on Wednesday of last week, talking about the pressures that the profession have faced over the last two years. It’s been a tough couple of years for everyone. And the triple whammy of Brexit, Covid and a boom in pet ownership has made for a bumpy ride for us Vets.
We are very fortunate at Pinfold to have overall, very understanding and accommodating clients who have worked with us through these difficult times, but I know of colleagues who have faced quite challenging situations.
It was good to chat and mull things over with Ady - and I think the most important message I wanted to get across is; it’s been rubbish times all round - be kind, not just to your Vet, but to everyone 👍🏻❤️
For anyone who wants to listen - this is my radio interview today with Ady Dayman on BBC Radio Leicester - talking about the absolutely barbaric, but sadly increasing practice of ear cropping in dogs. This is on the rise in the UK, particularly in urban areas. It is is illegal to crop dog’s ears in this country - so any puppy with cropped ears in the UK should NOT have had this done. Please let’s stop the crop! 👍🏻
You’re welcome….. 😉🥰♥️ (and make sure the sound is on for puppy noises)
When we give your pet a little something before an anaesthetic, to help chill them out……😉🥰
Fancy a tour of our Keyworth practice? Well, here you go! Opening soon - hopefully the last week in October 👍🏻
Apologies for this dazzling display but I thought it would get my post seen! We are changing the way we deal with repeat prescriptions. Repeat prescriptions can now be collected 48 hours later, instead of us phoning you to let you know they are ready. This hopefully makes it easier for you to know when they’ll be ready for collection, and also saves us making unnecessary phone calls. We ask that repeat medication is ordered on weekdays (as we are plenty busy already at weekends) and your medication will be magically ready for you to collect 2 working week days later.
Pre-ordering flea and worming treatment isn’t necessary as we have plenty in stock - UNLESS you have more than 3 pets - in which case pre-ordering means that we can get it ready for you and reduce your waiting time.
I hope you find this new system useful!
