🌟Attention ALL bird owners/keepers 🌟
🦚 In England and Wales you must register up 49 poultry or other kept birds by 1 October 2024
🐓This includes ANY birds you keep as pets (even just one duck for example)
🦃 You’re breaking the law if you do not register.
🦤 You do not need to register psittaciformes or passeriformes (such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels and finches) if they are both:
🦜Fully housed in a dwelling (your home or another indoor structure)
🐦‍🦢 Kept indoors at all times with no access to outdoor spaces
(🦩 It has been a legal requirement to register if you have over 50 birds for a while - this is a separate form though)

We received a client email this week, asking if we'd post this on their behalf.. We have to say, there appears to be no shortage of doggie treats in Molly's household!

'We wanted to say a massive thank you to the vets and staff at the Minehead branch who looked after Molly so well following her recent operation'.

'We would also like to thank the staff and vets at the Williton branch for Molly's post op care and support'.

'We would highly recommend White Lodge Vet Clinic for their expertise, professionalism and customer service!'

CAT FOUND
We have had this female ginger cat, in kittens, less than a year old handed in to us. Not microchipped.
📍Claydon Close, Washford

Please give us a call if you recognise her

03/04/2024

From the 10th June 2024, it will be a legal requirement in England to have your cat microchipped before the age of 20 weeks, so we are offering 20% off a microchip or a free microchip if we see your cat for a prescription check for flea/tick/worm treatment (ie. if they are not vaccinated and seen regularly).
If you miss the deadline, you’ll have 21 days to have one implanted or you may face a fine of up to £500.

Why should I microchip my cat?
Apart from it becoming law, it will ensure that if they are lost, stolen or injured, you have the best chance of being reunited with your cat.
This new law also applies to indoor cats- as they can just as easily get out a window or door.
Microchip cat flaps and food bowls are also becoming very popular and are useful to help restrict your cat’s diet or if they are on a special food.

🌟 NEW SERVICE OFFERED 🌟

With an ever increasing workload, and the workforce shortage in vets, we’ve decided to launch a new service starting on Tuesday. 🧑‍🔬

🤖 We’ve had an AI ‘bot’ listening and watching the wonderful Simon White from his cupboard for the last two years, learning everything there is to know about vetting Simon style. With his instant access to Wikipedia/Dr Google, and Simon’s bedside manner and charm, we’re sure he'll provide excellent outcomes most of the time.

🤖 At the moment, ‘Sibot’ has only basic clinical skills, but we’re hoping to teach him surgery very soon. We’ll let you know when he’s training - cut price surgery will be available (discount will vary depend on current success rate).

🤖 A consultation with ‘Sibot’ will be cheaper than a real vet. He cannot see animals below 5kg currently, as he’s not quite as gentle as the real Simon. He also may not be suitable for those animals easily scared, or those with actual problems.

A lovely patient review today:

“Today I went to the vet’s, it was my first time I was very shy, however, the gentleman vet was so wonderful with me, he talked to me and made me feel very calm. He gave me loads of attention and love. He even gave me some treats.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Love from Archie 🐾”

Microchipping is a safe, effective, and permanent way to identify individual animals, including cats. In this blog, BVA President Anna Judson discusses why so many cats aren't chipped, and debunks the key misconceptions.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of White Lodge moving to our purpose built building at Stephenson Road in Minehead!

It does not escape our attention that facebook community groups are an occasional forum for ‘vet bashing’.

Our policy on responding mirrors that of the Royal Family; ‘make no comment’. We assume that more open-minded and enlightened readers will see through the fog of a one-sided account from someone with an axe to grind, be it legitimate or perceived.

For those of a lower quotient, please consider that the individual or practice being ‘shamed’ is unable to respond or defend themselves. These comments are often personally impactful and are variably inaccurate.

Vets, and their support staff across the country are all dedicated to the care of their patients and work hard, day and often night, to deliver this service. When things do not go as hoped; grievances are best raised with the practice directly.
Above all, please be kind.
We wish you and your loved ones a Happy New Year.
