Peterborough and Bretton Vets for Pets

28/11/2025

❄️ Cold weather update: everyone’s joints have filed complaints ❄️
We love a frosty morning walk as the sun rises but we know lots of pets (old, young, dramatic, or genuinely creaky) start moving like they’ve slept funny.
If your dog, cat, or rabbit is looking a bit stiff, give us a call and we’ll help get them comfy again.

And while you’re keeping them warm…
🎄 Show us your pet in their Christmas jumper! The best ones may magically appear in our reception décor. Fame awaits. ✨🐾

And don't forget we will be taking part in Christmas Jumper day for Save the Children! Tasty treats (for humans and pets) will be waiting in reception for everyone 🎅

🐱 FOUND: Mystery Gentleman at Honey Hill
A very fluffy, very charming long-haired male cat has been brought into us. He has been neutered and chipped… but the microchip details appear to be as outdated as his opinion of being here.

He’s safe, warm, and being looked after though we’ll admit we’re probably not maintaining his usual hair-care routine.

If this little lost soul is yours please get in touch. As always proof of ownership required.

From clinic chaos to wedding chic 💫
A beautiful day celebrating the marriage of an old colleague, made even lovelier by seeing so many past and present team members together again. These friendships go far beyond the clinic walls. 💚

Meet Luna 💚
She was all ears when she heard the treat jar open three rooms away.
With a face as cute as hers we were handing out the snacks left, right and centre.

Now she knows it's not all bad at the vets we ar sure she will stroll back through the doors without a second thought. Little superstar 🌟

Just a little playtime before surgery! These two cheeky girls didn’t get the memo about relaxing before their big day 🐱💚

Both are in for their spays which is a routine procedure that helps reduce health risks and plays a big part in controlling the cat population 😊

On Thursday 11th December we’re swapping scrubs for sparkles and taking part in Christmas Jumper Day to raise money for Save the Children! 🎄✨
We’d love to see you and your pets in your best festive knits too, either in person or via photo.
It’s for a wonderful cause, and the donation link is below ❤️

We're taking part in Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 11th December! Every pound we raise will give children in the UK and around the world the chance to grow up healthy and happy and change the future for good.

Esme skipped the weight-loss clinic entirely and went straight for the “gastro-induced crash diet,” dropping more weight than any of us were aiming for.
Thankfully she’s now on the right medication to stop her accidental slimming, gained a little bit of weight back and help her feel more like herself again 💛

While we like it when those slightly rounder pets lose some pounds we like it to be on safer terms!

Unplanned weight loss is definitely a vet job but planned, healthy weight loss we much prefer! Our nurses run brilliant weight-loss clinics to keep things safe, steady, and drama-free 🐾

Today we remember the heroes, human and animal, who gave everything for our freedom.

Alongside the men and women who served with courage, we honour the horses, dogs, pigeons, mules, and countless others who stood beside them with loyalty and heart.

Their bravery will never be forgotten.
Lest we forget. 🩶🐾

From bottle-fed baby to full-time explorer 🐱💛
Too nosy to sit still for a photo shoot, she clearly felt well enough to get on with her next mission!

This curious girl came in with a suspiciously yellow face — could’ve been turmeric, could’ve been lilies. One’s messy, one’s very dangerous.
We played it safe and treated for lily poisoning, and she’s now back to her bright-eyed self (minus the yellow glow).

Lilies are one of the worst offenders when it comes to toxicity — even a small lick can be fatal. Keep them well away from your feline friends 🌸

Sometimes we perform complicated surgeries… other times we rescue our receptionist, Katie, from the attack of the snap band. 🤷🏻‍♀️
We’re not entirely sure how it happened, and we can’t promise it won’t happen again but it’s probably not the strangest pickle our team will get into this week! 😅
