Pet Health Check – only £24.99!* 🩺

The festivities may be over, but your furry friends might still feel the effects! From gobbling goodies, to the excitement of visitors, the holiday season can take its toll.

💡Your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong, but we can:
☑️ Weight and body: That extra snacking, chilly weather and salty pavements can all add up!
☑️ Behaviour changes: The stress of changes in routine and noisy celebrations can affect your pet’s well-being.
☑️ Joints and mobility: Cold weather can affect mobility by making your pet’s joints stiff and painful.

Our expert veterinary nurses can spot and address any potential concerns early to ensure your pet starts the New Year healthy and happy! 🥳

Book a pet Health Check here: https://FindAHealthCheck.softr.app

*For well dog, cats and rabbits only. Please book a consultation if your pet is ill. Full T&Cs on the Offer page on the website.

If you are attending the clinic today, be aware that our carpark is very icy. We have salted the paths and the entrance but it is still very slippery.

We have had one of our client's young male cat, majority white with four black spots on his back, escape his carrier in our car park.

He took off in the direction of the Pitfour Lake entrance, Dunshillock area.

He is not microchipped, but has recently been neutered.

We have set a cat trap by the beech hedge belonging to one of our neighbours in the hope we can secure him. Anyone in the area who has cats, please be aware that the trap has been set. We will be checking regularly in the hope that we can capture him.

If there are any sightings of him, please call the surgery on 01771 624001 as we will be trying to trap him to reunite him with his owner.

We’re making it easier than ever to keep your pets protected!

To help you stay on top of vaccinations, we’ve partnered with RSVP, a trusted call centre team and have set up a dedicated Vaccination Booking Service. This service will be reaching out to you on our behalf to offer convenient booking options for your pet’s vaccination appointments. You’ll receive a friendly reminder call, so you can easily schedule an appointment at a time that suits you best!

This partnership allows us to focus more on providing excellent care, while the Vaccination Booking Service ensures no vaccinations are missed. Feel free to book directly with us, or simply look out for the call from our new service!

Keeping pets happy, healthy, and up to date—because they deserve the very best.

❗️❗CLIENT NOTICE❗️❗️

Our car park is extremely slippery due to this snowy weather, with many cars struggling to get in and out, we urge our clients to please bear this in mind when travelling to us today, and to please park at the front of the building, rather than the side where it is extra slippery!

If your appointment is non-urgent, we would be happy to reschedule this for you, to a date safer for travel.

Please call the surgery on 01771 624001 and our team will be happy to help!

It's Rabbit Awareness Week this week! We still have appointments available for Wednesday. If you would like to book your Rabbit in for a health check please contact the surgery on 01771 624001.

Rabbit Awareness Week is coming up soon on the 27th June - 1st July. Rabbits make great pets for families and those with busy lives. They’re docile, sociable, and can be trained to use a litter tray. And, of course, they’re super cute! For that reason, it’s easy to be seduced into buying a rabbit without thinking through your decision. Because it’s always better to make an informed decision before you welcome a new pet to your home, here are some of the things you need to know before buying a rabbit. https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/is-a-rabbit-the-right-pet-for-me

With the rise in temperature here are some tips to help keep your pet safe. ☀ Do not take your pet on any unnecessary car journeys ☀ Do not leave your pet in a conservatory or sun room ☀ Do not leave your pet outside without any shade ☀ For small rabbits and guinea pigs, cover part of their run to create a shaded area ☀ Keep water cool and fresh (change regularly) ☀ Do not walk your dog when it is very warm, first thing in the morning and later in the evening are cooler ☀ Be careful of pavements and roads, they can become very hot for paws ☀ Do not throw toys or balls to encourage your dog to run hard, even if you are throwing them into the sea, the heat they build up in the chase will add to the external temperature ☀ Do use cooling mats if you have, or soak your dog in tepid water and allow them to dry naturally If your pet shows any of the signs below, please call the surgery number, you will be transferred to Vets Now who have staff on site at all times. Signs of heat stroke: ❎ Faster, heavier panting ❎ Signs of agitation ❎ Excessive thirst ❎ Excessive drooling ❎ Increased pulse and heartbeat ❎ Dark-coloured (red or purple) gums or tongue ❎ Glassy eyes ❎ Elevated body temperature of 40ºC (104ºF) and up ❎ Staggering, weakness or collapse ❎ Seizures ❎ Unconsciousness If you have to take your pet to the surgery: ➡️ Ensure the windows are down in the car ➡️ Soak your pet's fur in tepid water and leave them wet ➡️ Place a towel soaked in cold water under your pet (no beds or extra padding) ➡️ Ensure there is space around them for air movement Please be aware: Our pets with shorter faces such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, Dogue de Bordeaux are all at much higher risk of struggling with the heat
