Interesting fact.
Heart stopper !
Did you know that when a person with a pacemaker passes away they can leave instructions for the pacemaker to be removed and donated to a dog who needs it ?

If you have a pacemaker fitted - would you consider donating it after your death to save a dog? If you are being cremated and have a pacemaker fitted, then that pacemaker must legally be removed first, as the battery could explode when subjected to intense heat. Did you know though that the same

Top marks !
We made some new friends last week, we where called out to vaccinate the lovely Rosie and Lena.
Rosie the Lurcher can be nervous at the vets so her mum called us to see if we can vaccinate both dogs at home and try to keep Rosie's stress level under control, while Lena just loves meeting people and making friends.
Both girls behaved brilliantly and where nice and relaxed and had lots of snacks and fuss, we call that a great outcome.
We will see you both in a few weeks girls for the 2nd vaccines.

Pet Insurance.
The dreaded topic, we know that getting the correct insurance for any situation can be stressful and pet insurance can cause pet owners a huge headache.
While we cant recommend any one insurance company we have created a list of things you should look for when taking out policy for your pets.

1.
Always try to buy a policy that covers both accident and illnesses, this way your pet is covered what ever happens.

2.
Consider if you would prefer a life time policy instead of an annual policy, this means that after claiming for an illness once it wont be excluded in the next policy year.

3.
Check to see if dental treatment is covered by the policy, not all policies have this and dental treatment can become very costly.

4.
Consider if your policy will cover complimentary treatments for your pet such as laser therapy or hydrotherapy as these can be expensive but vital to your pets recovery if they are injured.

5.
Ensure that your policy has the highest limit possible to ensure if your pet is ill or injured you don't have to worry about exceeding the policy limit before treatment is complete.

As always if you have any questions regarding insurance please don't hesitate to contact us at the practice, we are here to help.

Repeat medications.
Client notice.
While you can order your repeat medications via phone, email or our online shop, we ask our clients to give 7 days notice when this is needed to avoid delays or gaps in medication for your pets.
Some medications are ordered in specially for some pets and this can take 3 to 4 days, others that we hold in stock we have to post/ deliver and again this can take 3 to 4 days which means without a week notice your pets medication could be late in arriving, if you have any questions regarding repeat medications please don't hesitate to let one of our team know and we will be happy to help.
Thank you
Luke and all the team at my visit vet

Its that time of the month again,
Super pet of the month!
Each month we will be highlighting one pet who has been a really good patient for both us and their parents while being treated for a range of different issues.
This Months Super pet of the month is one who stands out for a few different reasons .
Firstly they are called Lady but happen to be a male and now after treatment he is a one eyed cat.
Luke and Mel were called out to see Lady as he had a mass on his eye and it was affecting his daily life.
Luke and Mel went to see him and gave him some medication before returning a little while later to remove the mass and eye so it would no longer bother him.
Lady behaved perfectly for all of his treatment and even his recovery despite not liking having to wear his collar and not being allowed outside for a while to see his friends.
As you can imagine him and his mum were very happy when he was discharged from his treatment and was allowed to go out again and enjoy the summer.
Well Done Lady (and his mum) :-)

What is the one thing that is cuter than a puppy? A whole beautiful litter of 8 week old puppies.
Luke and Mel were lucky enough to be asked to see a whole litter of baby cocker spaniels yesterday.
Each of the puppies received a full health check and the 1st injection of their vaccine course as well as lots and lots of cuddles.
Their health checks included checking heart and respiratory rates, eyes, ears and teeth. All of them are fighting fit and ready for new homes!
I am sure everyone is as jealous as the reception team for missing out on those puppy cuddles.

Pet loss prevention month!
Losing our pets is terrible thought for most pet owners but as they say prevention is better than cure.
We have many different ways to help stop pets going missing such as microchipping Dogs, cats and Rabbits. Please make sure the chip details are correct and updated at all times, if your pet goes missing and is handed in to a vet practice they will check the chip on arrival so you are contacted as quickly as possible.

It is also advised that Cats and dogs wear collars with owners basic details on such as owners surname, post code and contact number. Birds should also have rings on their legs with an ID number so if they are found an owner can be called instantly.

If you do happen to loose your pet weather on a walk, missing from home or escaping the house owners are advised to contact all local vet practices and report them as missing most practices keep detailed logs of lost or found pets. The microchip database you pet is on should also be notified.

Along side all of these you can report a missing dog to your local dog warden and lost cats to the local branch of the CPL.
We hope this never happens but if it dose we hope these tips will help get your pet back home.
