I have lots of colleagues that help me with my daily tasks and the office is usually full of friendly faces! As a treat for working very hard, we are allowed to play in our lunch break (supervised of course!) and even get to go for walks up the fields!
I couldn't fit all of my friends in one video, my team consists of;
πΆ Me - Hilda - Top Dog!
πΆ Mabel - Chief Canine Officer
πΆ Wilf & Maverick - Junior Pawject Managers
πΆ Pippa -Head of Puplick Relations
πΆLexi - Petwork Technician
πΆ Wally - Pawditing Intern

Hi It's Me, Hilda,
As Vet Nurse Awareness Month comes to an end I wanted to share with you what a day in the life of a vet nurse really looks like. I am amazed how much they do and how much they care.
I'm amazed how they always still have a little time to take me out for lunchtime play with my doggy colleagues.... who I must introduce you to at some point!
Anyway, back to our wonderful nurses! They are integral to the running of the practice from doing many of the nurse consults we offer, admitting your pets, dealing with your telephone enquiries, monitoring your pets in surgery and taking care of them in hospital until they are ready to be discharged. And soooo much more.
And so I've taken on another new role here again during May - assistant video editor! I hope you enjoy this video that I've helped put together to show the wonderful work our nurses do - with a few outtakes too.
Enjoy!

Hi, Itβs me Hilda, πMum keeps on talking about flea and worm treatment and the importance of this, she says that i'm a good girl because I take my monthly Nexgard Spectra and Droncit very well! If like me youβre on the wellness plan then you get your flea and wormers on a monlthy or three monthly basis depending on whats more suitable for your pets life stage and lifestyle. Here we have my Pawsome colleagues Douglas and Lexi who both have monthly Nexgard and Droncit treatment to demonstrate how easy it is to give your dog flea and worm treatment. Douglas is having his Nexgard Spectra but doesnβt love the taste (he must be a bit fussy!), so nurse Ellie is disguising it so that he eats it! Nexgard Spectra covers dogs for fleas, ticks, mites, heart worm and intestinal worms. Lexi is having her Droncit treatment which protects her from tapeworms. This one tastes a little bit yucky so nurse Nicole is giving her a helping hand and popping it in her mouth and encouraging her to swallow it! She takes it first time, what a good girl, typical Labrador!If you are struggling to give your pet their flea and worming treatment, book in with one of the nurses to give you a helping hand and discuss what treatment is most appropriate for your pet! Thatβs all from me!Im looking forward to the extra long weekend and sharing my adventures with you!

Vet Nursing Awareness Month May 2024 - Grooming clinics
There's nothing like a bit of bonding time with our 4 legged friends. Daily grooming helps to keep your pet's skin and coat healthy and keeps them looking their best.
Grooming not only removes excess hair that falls out during the course of a day, it also removes any dust and debris that your pet may have picked up on their daily adventures! Regular grooming also helps you to get to know your pet really well and can spot any lumps, bumps, scrapes or wounds that might have appeared without you realising it.
It's also great for bonding with your pet - and often very relaxing for both of you!
In the video Ellie and Douglas talk us through one of their grooming sessions.
We offer free grooming clinics with our veterinary nurses to show you how best to groom your pet - so feel free to call us and book in with Karo, Nicole or Helena at your leisure.

Vet Nursing Awareness Month May 2024 - Dental clinics
As with humans, our pets can also experience dental disease. Poor dental hygiene is one of the most common cause of tooth and gum disease in pets.
Symptoms of dental disease in our pets include:
π¦· bad breath
π¦· pain or difficulty eating
π¦· plaque and tartar build up
π¦· red inflamed gums
π¦· excessive drooling.... among others
Regular dental care at home, in addition to an annual check with one of our vets can help prevent dental disease.
Our veterinary nurses provide support and training in how to introduce your pet to a toothbrush and how to brush your pets teeth - and all round general dental healthcare for your dogs and cats.
Here's Ellie and Douglas with more information about how to introduce your dog to a toothbrush.
If you'd like to book in for a free dental nurse clinic or have any questions about your pets dental hygiene - call us now on 01653 618303 and book in with Karo, Nicole or Helena.

Hi it's me Hilda! π
This week I had my own personalised nurse clinic for my eyes cleaning! The lovely nurses asked if they could video me having my eyes cleaned as i'm such a superstar and so you can see one of their many roles as part of vet nurse awareness month! πΆ
Here we have one of the nurses demonstrating how to clean your pets eyes using warm water and cotton wool. This is very useful especially if your pet has long hair around their eyes like me! π
Alternatively ask your pawrents to book you in for a nurse clinic, one of the benefits of the wellness plan is that nurse clinics are free! π
Happy Friday
Hilda πΎ
