With the (hopefully sunny 🤞🏼) Easter bank holiday weekend coming up, we would just like to remind our clients that if you need to pick up any medication from our practices, the last day to order them to receive them before the bank holiday is Monday April 14th. Any meds ordered after this will not be ready until after the long weekend.
Thankyou!

This cutie is Luca. Luca came to visit us and had his microchip and first vaccines as part of our Pet Health Plan, and didn't even make a peep for the injections, what a brave little guy!

Look at those whiskers!
This distinguished gentleman is Po, who comes to visit us for regular checks and is so well behaved and friendly every time we see him.
He definitely knows how to make sure the camera gets his good side!

Spring has sprung, meaning lambs are popping up all around us 🐑

Unfortunately with that being said there is also a downside to this.
Every year, we see sheep and lambs worried, injured and killed by dogs on the Island.
We have already received multiple reports from our farmers, which is always hard to hear.

With the weather improving and people wanting to shake off the winter blues, we understand the need to go out on walks, and enjoy the beautiful countryside we are lucky to have on the island.
But we all need to be aware of potential issues.

KEEP YOUR DOG ON LEAD IF YOU ARE IN A FIELD WITH LIVESTOCK.

ALL dogs. Whether you think they'll never chase sheep or cattle or not. Please keep them on leads.

Pregnant ewes are at a high risk of abortion if chased and then there are the obvious injuries caused by chasing and biting. Some sheep die through stress or exhaustion a few days after an incident.

The losses for farmers are devastating, emotionally and financially.

Please remember that livestock owners are within their rights to shoot dogs which are worrying their animals.

Let’s work together so we can all enjoy what is right on our doorsteps. Dogs on leads and comfy walking boots on. Let’s get out and enjoy the sun.

Golden sunshine in the sky and two beautiful golden boys. 😊
These two gorgeous boys were an absolute delight to have in today, so were treated to breakfast in bed post surgery. 😊
