#20YearsOfVNAM #VNAM2024 #WhatVNsDo
May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, 2024 being the 20th anniversary since the campaign began.
A focus of this yearâs awareness is the importance of protecting, by law, the title of Veterinary Nurse.
We wanted to share #rowanvets views on why this is so important to us and how it feeds into our quality of standards that we provide for our clients and patients.
As a training practice we are proud of the quality of training we provide to students working towards this qualification. Once qualified, our Registered Veterinary Nurseâs contribute massively to the standards of care offered to our patients, many of whom go on to hold their own clinics and undertake further, specialist training.
RVNs work extremely hard to qualify. Many work a full time job whilst studying during an intensive two years of both practical and theoretical learning. This culminates in written examinations and an intensive practical demonstration of their learning, knowledge, understanding and practical application of those skills.
Here at #rowanvets our RVNs go on to develop their skills and knowledge and are actively encouraged to do so. This is often to a level where even the vets will seek advice and support on clinical cases from our RVNs.
Not protecting this qualification allows the quality of care and advice for animals to be diminished and we wholeheartedly support the protection of the qualification and title by law. Our short video demonstrates some of what our team do in practice and weâd love for you to celebrate them with us.

Cat Dental Health
Who says you can't clean a cat's teeth!
This is Becca, one of our RVN's who belongs to Humphrey (we all know our cats own us humans!) and who are we kidding that our cats LET us do anything unless it's on their own terms. We know it's probably harder to keep your cat's teeth in tip-top shape than it is a dog's but would you know the signs of dental disease in your cat?
85% of cats have dental disease and itâs a common problem that many owners are not aware of. Download our dental care sheet at the link to find out more about how you can help care for your catâs teeth as well as the signs that they might already have dental disease https://bit.ly/3BPeoUm
Why not book in for a dental health check with one of our knowledgeable RVNs as part of #dentalawarnessmonth, to find out more about your own catâs teeth as well as general hints and tips on how to keep those #pearlywhites squeaky clean.
You can contact us through PetsApp or by calling 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352.

Paws-itively Genius!
Under, over, in, out, round and round, jump, climb⌠dogs love a challenge and you can easily make a fun obstacle course for them.
Chairs, boxes, buckets, poles, laundry baskets. What can you think of to build the ultimate fun-run? Maybe even a paddling pool water splash at the end? Weâd love to see a photo of your doggy-dash.
