Hello everyone!

We hope you all had super Chrismasses and ate as much as we all did!

Please note:
Due to extra pressure and demand on our vets and following our request for people to allow a 48 hour notice period when requesting medications, there will now be a £5 urgent prescription fee added to any medications or prescriptions requested with less than 48 hours notice from 31 January 2025.

Thank you for your understanding!

Sweet little Italian Greyhound female found by member of public and brought in to us this evening - she is microchipped but we can’t access her details (this may take up to 48h), so she’s been taken to our Medivet Poole 24h branch for the night , where she’ll be kept safe until her details can be accessed or her owner arrives (proof of ownership, eg microchip number, will be required) ♥️

05/10/2024

IMPORTANT!!

Due to a staff emergency, we’ve had to close the practice today.
Poole 24h on Northroad are available to take any urgent calls and appointments.
Thank you for your understanding and sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Have a safe weekend everyone! ☀️♥️

It’s Veterinary Receptionist day today!!
Wishing our two superb receptionists, Carol and Sue, a wonderful day and thanking them for being the warm, welcoming duo that we all (furry and non-furry alike!) love 😁

18/08/2024

Hello everyone!! Just to let you know we’re having some work done on our electrics in reception tomorrow between 11:00 & 16:00.
We’ll still be open but unable to take payment, so we ask that (if possible) you don’t come and collect medication in that time period unless you know you don’t pay as you go (eg flea and worm treatment when you’re on our Health Plan).
A temporary reception will be set up in Kate’s consult room, so Carol can still take phone calls and chat to clients as normal 😁
Any consults already booked will still go ahead - Kate will work from Frances’s consult room 👌🏻

Thank you for you understanding and apologies for any inconvenience caused 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Happy Sunday! ☀️☀️

We’d like to officially introduce and welcome Sue, our new receptionist (and Carol’s new wing person)! It’s been an absolute pleasure having Sue join the team and we know you’ll all extend a warm welcome to her when you see her in reception or chat to her on the phone. Sue will be with us on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and we look forward to you all meeting her in person!

Did you brush your dog’s teeth today?

You can help prevent dental problems and oral disease in your dog by brushing their teeth daily – with dog friendly toothpaste, providing the right diet, and seeing your vet regularly for check-ups.

And we’re back!! 😁😁

IMPORTANT !!

Our system has shut down and, though our IT department is doing their best to get it up and running, we have no idea when we’ll be back to normal!
We can still take phone calls and order any necessary medications (but you’ll have to tell us what you need as we can’t access your clinical notes), and we’ll still see appointments that have already been booked, but we cannot book any non-urgent appointments until we are functional.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding 😊♥️

Do you know how to spot blue-green algae?

Exposure to blue-green algae can cause long-term health problems in pets and can even be fatal. By drinking from or swimming in contaminated water, pets are at a high risk of becoming seriously ill.

Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet is at risk of blue-green algae poisoning. For more information of what to look out for and how to protect your pet, read our advice article here: https://bit.ly/3LqTmA4

Over the summer, our vets see a lot of dogs who have issues because of grass seeds. It is important to contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has an injury caused by a grass seed.

If walking your dog in long grass or woodland areas, we recommend checking your dog over and brushing away any grass seeds after the walk is done. Pay particular attention to paws, ears, eyes, and armpits.

To learn more about grass seeds, and our four simple steps for dealing with them, read our helpful advice article here: https://bit.ly/3zAdaOP

Do you have questions about neutering your cat? It's something we strongly advise as it has many benefits for them and helps to tackle the number of stray cats in the UK.

Female cats will benefit from reduced risk of unwanted pregnancy, certain health conditions and even certain types of cancer. For male cats, neutering reduces their urge to fight other males, lessening the chance of certain diseases, and it also means they are less likely to mark their territory around your home.

Pets can develop skin allergies at any age, so it's important to make sure you know the signs and symptoms. Dogs may start scratching excessively, whereas cats may start licking their belly, back, or behind their legs more than usual.

The most common skin allergy is called atopic dermatitis, and although it's a lifelong condition, it can be controlled and managed, meaning your pet can lead a normal and healthy life. Treatments may include medication, supplements, or even newer monoclonal antibody treatments.
