Enrichment is so important for our pets, and can be used in various situations. From cage rest to quiet time, it has many advantages.

Staff dog Spud is enjoying his ‘LickiMat UFO’ filled with kibble, blueberries and topped with water and frozen for a long lasting meal.

Many of the bowls we sell can also be used to encourage slower feeding too!

Tomorrow Registered Veterinary Nurse, Laura is leaving Amical after 17 years. Here is a message from her to our wonderful clients:

'' To all the wonderful clients (and their Furbabies) I would like to say a genuinely heart-felt thank you. After 17 and a half years, I have come to really treasure the relationships I have made with you and your animal companions.
Knowing you and your pets, in some cases, for all their lives has been a pleasure. I will be taking some very fond memories with me as I move on to new challenges within the Veterinary Field.

I wish you all the very best in the future and will be leaving you in the safe, caring hands of the Vets, Nurses and Receptionists who remain at Amical. ''

We have been blessed with lots of adorable puppy visitors recently.

Today we had cuddles with beautiful Neith. This young lady came in for her 2nd jabs and flea and worm medication.

As a Pet Health Club member her family didn’t have anything to pay today as all their preventative treatments are covered within the monthly payments.

They were also signed up for 4 weeks complimentary pet insurance which ensures she’s is covered if she was to become unwell or injured.

In no time Neith will be fully protected to explore the big wide world with her big sister.

Did you know you can come and weigh your pet anytime, no appointment needed?

Having an up to date weight enables us to ensure we prescribe and dispense the correct medications to your pets.

We also record their weight on every visit which allows us to see trends to any weight gain or losses.

Furthermore, popping in to use the scales can help to build a positive association with the practice, we have treats on hand to offer all visitors.

If you have any concerns regarding your pets weight, we have nurse consultations available throughout the week in addition to vet appointments.

Meet darling Hollie the Sprocker spaniel.

Hollie was presented to us initially as being generally quite unwell, after some investigations and some rather inconclusive results it was agreed surgical intervention was needed to try and save her life.

Super Simon operated and much to our surprise, found she had a kebab stick in her tummy!

It’s thought Hollie had taken quite a liking to a Chinese takeaway and took it upon herself to sample some chicken on a skewer, some weeks prior without her family knowing.

It really was a team effort working together to save her life and we are delighted to share that she is making great progress in her recovery!

Thank you to Hollie’s family for allowing us to share her story. She really is a wonderful dog.

🩷Please feel free share this post to raise awareness about the dangers our pets face in the home.🩷

Exuberant Ossie, a young lurcher cross is always delighted to visit and today was no different. This sweet boy came to see Vet Dan for a free of charge nail trim, just one of the many benefits of being a Pet Health Club member 🩷.

Ossie was of course showered with hugs and kisses from the team and has left with a belly full of treats, in addition to his pedicure!

Sadly today we wish Dr Ann Carter all the best on her retirement.
This is a message from her to all of her beloved clients.

''Thank you to the four leggeds and two leggeds for all the loyalty and affection I have received over my years at Amical.
I have laughed a lot, cried a lot, but overall, it's been a really lovely journey. It's now time for me to "sniff the roses" and spend time with my family.
I'm so grateful to my Veterinary colleagues and the entire Amical team (past and present) who have given me incalculable support.
With all the rigours and challenges that we face on a daily basis as Vets, they are "SIMPLY THE BEST".
My love and very best wishes for good health and happy times for your companions and yourselves.

Ann Carter ''
