It is with great sadness that we share the news that Noel Evans passed away last week. Noel started work for the practice in the 1970s and worked for us for about 40 years. Noel was our farm animal blood tester. He visited all our cattle farmers annualy for many years, blood sampling cows for brucellosis, which is now pretty much eradicated from the UK. He also, later, blood sampled sheep as part of the scrapie eradication programme. Noel was incredibly skilful at his work and was always calm and quiet with the animals. He was enormously popular with all the farmers and they all repeatedly praised him to the partners in the practice. They were always pleased to see Noel because apart from his ability testing, he was always warm and friendly and a pleasure to spend time with. The vets and support staff also had a great respect and fondness of Noel as a hard working colleague for whom nothing was too much trouble. And he did all of this while still running his home family farm. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time, and all those who were lucky enough to work with, or just to know Noel, will be greatly saddened by this news.
RIP Noel, we were lucky to have had you as a colleague and friend.

🌟 Let’s talk Microchips 🌟

❤️ At Hafren Vets, we may be talented but we don’t have telepathic abilities! That means we need microchips to help us reunite your lost pets

🐶 When a stray animal is brought in, the best way to identify them is their microchip! With a small scanner we scan the pet for a chip, and if we’re lucky we find one!

💻 We can then type the microchip number into various databases which shows the owners details and contact information, and reunite the lost furry friend!

💔 In far too many cases, when the pet is scanned they either don’t have a microchip or the chip has outdated information

😔 This is one of the most upsetting things to find when we have a lost pet, it can be sorted in a flash! All it takes is 5-10 minutes to check the details are correct or a 15 minute appointment to have your pet microchipped

🗓️ In 2015, it not only became a legal requirement to have your dog microchipped but having the details up to date is ALSO a legal requirement!

🐱 In England, it is now a legal requirement for all cats to be microchipped and we hope this is soon introduced in Wales as cats are the majority of strays brought in

🤔 If you are unsure of your pets microchip number or even if they have one, worry not! You can pop them into your nearest branch for a check

Wet, cold and miserable!

Whilst some dogs will go out for their walk rain or shine, we understand that winter can bring more challenges to getting outside - slippery surfaces, cold and dark weather and less daylight hours can make us feel a bit glum.

Cats might also be less inclined to adventure now the weather has turned glum.

But, without exercise and mental stimulation, some pets might become bored, starting to show behavioural issues because of frustration - remember how it felt in lockdown when you could only go out once a day? 🤯🫥

Boredom Bust those days you're inside by:

✅ Engaging in enrichment feeding. To be frank, this is something we would LOVE to see happy no matter the weather. Feeding many animals by using mental and physical stimulation can slow down eating, help with satiety and keep them physically and mentally engaged for longer.

✅ Try puzzle feeders, toys you can stuff with some food, snuffle mats and licki mats and bowls. Remember to work out your pets calorific need and do not over feed treats during winter to avoid obesity.

✅ Training. It's never too late to work on old and new tricks. Get out the positive training advice and get learning new things.

✅ Physiotherapy. We all like to do a bit of exercise. Some passive physiotherapy exercises can be taught and used in training to keep those muscles active and strong.

✅ Play! Don't underestimate the power of play. It gives great pleasure to both you and your pet to bond in a game.

What do you do to 'boredom bust' if your pet is kept inside because of weather or health?

Good luck to all the farmers today,
Go loud, go proud, and have your say.
You work so hard every single night and day,
And for the next generation of farmers we pray.
The government are saying to just keep calm, When all you want to do is farm,
Like your dad and grandad did before,
So why are they trying to make you poor.
Tell the government what needs to be done,
And all stick together until its won.
We are all behind you wearing our wellies,
So you can continue putting food in our bellies.
We will all be watching on our TV sets,
Go forward with support of Hafren Vets.. 💚💚

‼️Missing cat‼️

This is Luca, he has been mistaken for a feral due to his clipped ear, taken from his home and released area of llangunllo. He really likes farms, and is likely to be hiding on or around a farm

If you see a new medium/large black cat in your area please give our Knighton branch a call on 01547 528292

On Monday last week one of our vets, George, and one of our nurses Megan, attended Aberystwyth University where they have been asked to sit on an advisory board to discuss the further development of Veterinary education at Aberystwyth University.

It is a real honour to be asked to be involved. At Hafren we pride ourselves on being an accredited training practice and we put a lot of time and effort into training the next generation of vets and nurses.

It is fantastic to see the evolution of a veterinary nursing and veterinary medicine training programme at Aberystwyth University.
