There's a change coming to dog boosters across the country 🐕

Our dog boosters are currently made up of 2 different components; DHP and Lepto2 💉

Lepto2 has been *discontinued*.

Due to this change we will now be switching to Lepto4 which covers for 2 extra strains of Lepto.
There is no alternative vaccine for dogs 🙅🏻‍♀️.

What this means for your dog, for their next booster ONLY:

💉 Adult boosters - must come back for a 2nd injection EXACTLY 4 weeks from the time of the 1st

🐕 Puppies - same as above
+ If they have already had a 1st injection of Lepto2, they will need a 3rd injection EXACTLY 4 weeks after their second

After they have had the 'top-up', they will go back to 1 injection per year

Please bear this timescale in mind when booking your 1st appointment and be sure you have availability exactly 4 weeks later ⏰

💸 There will be no extra charge 💸

We appreciate this is a big change for all, please follow this link for more information

One of the risks that have been increasingly reported in many countries worldwide that affects dogs is leptospirosis, also known as “lepto.”

Mel has made a big move from a local referral centre to work with us and we are so lucky to have her.

Have you seen the posts circulating today about the fake Yumove tablets bought on Amazon that have potentially made dogs sick?

If you have purchased this supplement from Amazon, or any other unofficial seller, please check the packaging very carefully and speak to YuMOVE UK if you are concerned.

This is an extremely good reminder that if you are using any sort of pet product, medicine or supplement, it is very important you buy it from your vet, a UK based and VMD registered online pharmacy (look for the VMD emblem on the website) or from the company directly.

Counterfeit products crop up regularly and while many simply don’t work, others have the potential to do great harm.

Can you guess the breed of these adorable little puppies?

Edit - these sweet little longbois are Italian greyhounds 😍

This breed were originally bred to hunt hare and rabbits and were commonly kept by nobility.

Did you know that we offer free dental health checks?
🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷
We are keen to ensure your pets are pain-free and no one enjoys kisses from a stinky mouth!
👃🤢
Mileys mum noticed that she had a tooth poking out of her mouth at an unusual angle and so wanted her to get checked over. Sabrina the vet can see that her lower canine is wobbly and will need removal.
Dental disease is very common in older pets and something that we can reduce with regular dental hygiene, but sometimes, no matter how hard we try to keep things clean some teeth need to be removed.
🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷
Give us a call if you would like your pets teeth to be examined or if you would like to discuss implementing a dental hygiene routine.

Happy National Black Cat Day!!!
Black and black+white cats tend to be looked over by the general public when looking to rehome a kitten or a fully grown cat, due to outdated superstitions and some people thinking that they are less cute for instagram pics. This is one of the many reasons why vet staff tend to have black cats as pets as we recognise their beautiful souls and playful characters.

We would love to see pictures of your black cats in celebration of
