Poppy enjoyed cuddles with RVN Emma today while with us for her spay.
Female dogs can be neutered from around 6 months old dependent on breed, eliminating the risk of uterine infections later in life, and reducing the risk of mammary (breast) cancers.
We always treat each pet as an individual and are happy to explain all neutering procedures and whether they are the best option for your pet.
Please call us on 0191 265 3998 if you'd like more information.

This gorgeous little fox cub was found by a member of the public and brought into our Tynemouth practice today. He was very hungry so we gave him a special calorie dense meal then he was taken in by a wonderful wildlife rescue.
He will be rehabilitated and looked after in order to hopefully be released into the wild again when he is old enough.

From June 10th 2024 a new law comes into place making it compulsory for all cats to be microchipped from 20 weeks of age.

A microchip can be implanted at any time, however a good time to microchip them is when they are in for neutering surgery, as they will be under a general anaesthetic. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice, and holds a unique number which is registered to a national database.

We can also implant a microchip during a consultation with one of our vets or nurses. If your cat is not chipped please contact us and our friendly team will be able to assist you.

⚠️ PARASITE TREATMENT - PLEASE READ ⚠️

Based on the new “Under Care” regulations from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in order for our vets to prescribe your pets antiparasitic treatment we need to carry out a physical examination and create an ongoing prescription for these medications. Our prescriptions last 6-12 months, depending on your animals health history and current conditions.

PLEASE NOTE: If your pet already has a prescription and does not need a weight check, we require 48 hours' notice when ordering their treatment. Please order in advance of collection.

Please use our new vet2pet app to order your prescription in advance or book your appointment

Thanks
