It’s at the end of June so we thought we’d introduce Mylo who came to visit with his companion.

Mylo’s owner was worried about some sneezing episodes. Andreea gave him a full health check which didn’t highlight anything serious.

rabbits can sneeze for a number of reasons; sources of environmental irritation such as dust, perfumes or household sprays or due to internal illnesses such as infections, eye issues or dental problems.

Stay tuned in June for more useful rabbit info to raise awareness of rabbits and their needs. We’d love to see pictures of your 🐰

Warning! Image shows surgical procedure.

We get many interesting cases here at and one recent procedure produced some surprising results.

The images show the removal of “struvite bladder stones” from a dog. Struvite is a normal component of a dog’s urine and will normally dissolve in the slightly acidic liquid. If the urine becomes very “concentrated” or alkaline (the opposite of acidic), struvite crystals may form.

This condition commonly affects female dogs and they usually form as a complication of a bladder infection which can make the urine more alkaline.

Some signs to look out for are blood in the urine and/or straining to urinate. Confirming that stones are present can usually be done by ultra-sound or x-ray.

Treatment options vary, according to the stone size. In this case, the stones were very large so surgical removal was the only option.
Sometimes it is recommended that the stones are sent away for analyse to confirm their composition.

If your dog is showing signs of a urine infection or you have any concerns about your dog in general, contact the team to book in via PetsApp or by calling 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352.

It’s week in the USA, so it’s a great time to raise awareness of this common condition in dogs 🐶. It can be difficult to know if your dog is anxious but there are some key signs to look out for:

• Barking and/or whining
• Pacing
• Scratching
• Chewing
• Drooling
• Panting
• Urinating & defecating in the house
• Shaking
• Digging

There can be many reasons why a dog might be anxious or stressed; being separated from their owner, loud noises such as fireworks, changes in home circumstances or a disruption to their routine. So, what can an owner do about helping their dog?

Head over to the Adaptil website to find out more about anxiety and what you can do to help your dog. There’s a wealth of information on the site for all dog and puppy owners so click the link below:

May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, 2024 being the 20th anniversary since the campaign began.

A focus of this year’s awareness is the importance of protecting, by law, the title of Veterinary Nurse.

We wanted to share 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 Nurse’s 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 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 we’d love for you to celebrate them with us.

🚨Attention all cat lovers!🚨

Don't forget, starting on 10th June 2024, it will be the law to get your microchipped. From that date it will be law all cats are microchipped from 20 weeks old and to keep your contact details up to date on an approved microchip database 🐾.

Why does it matter? It's not only the law but who are chipped are reunited with their owners more quickly in the majority of cases. This is particularly important for owners whose may have been fatally injured. Being reunited provides closure and is a very important part of the grieving process 💔

With an estimated 2.8 million cats in the UK who are not microchipped, don't be caught out and risk being fined up to £500 🐱

Spread the word and call our team today to book in, via PetsApp or by calling 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352.

#funfact #didyouknow that fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day? Fleas are not always obvious with 95% of the flea population living in the soft furnishings of your home, such as carpets and rugs. Treating the house is an important part of flea control. Find out more about fleas in our latest news item https://bit.ly/3wFsWTz. You can find out more about our pet Health Care Plan to help spread the cost of your pet’s preventative care. If you have any questions about parasite protection or Rowan’s Pet Health Club, contact the client care team on PetsApp or by calling 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352. #rowanvets #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #photooftheday #instagood #nofilter #picoftheday #love #healthypets #goldstandardpetcare #pethealthplan

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? We’d love to see a photo of your doggy-dash. #rowanvets #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #photooftheday #instagood #instapet #nofilter #picoftheday #love #healthypets #goldstandardpetcare #pethealthplan #petdentalhealth #welovedogs #welovecats #weloverabbits #pethealth #fleasandticks #summer

Our Story

Welcome to Rowan Veterinary Centre: Where pets always come first!

Rowan Veterinary Centre has two surgeries in the Fylde: a newly refurbished practice in Blackpool and a purpose built practice between Kirkham and Freckleton, just north of Preston. Please contact us for opening hours or visit our website rowanvets.co.uk We provide care for small animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits guinea pigs etc. We operate a 24 hour, 7 days a week, 365 days a year Out of Hours Service conveniently located between the two practices. Just call the emergency number 01772 639800. The values of the Rowan Veterinary Centre are still just as strong today as they always have been and with our excellent facilities here at Hillock Lane and our newly refurbished premises in Blackpool, we can offer an even better level of care for your pets. We promise that we will always put the needs of your pet first: - We will use the most appropriate treatment and the best drugs, regardless of profit margins and manufacturer loyalty. - We will promote routine preventative healthcare such as regular worming, vaccination and flea treatments to keep your pet in excellent health. - We will treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. Appointments are available on request throughout each day (Monday to Saturday) from 8:45am and prices and estimates are available on request. If you have a preferred surgeon, please ask the receptionist when you book. We endeavour to ensure that all animals are seen on the requested day by the vet of your choice. Where possible, treatment by the same vet is encouraged, to ensure continuity and enable any changes in the patient to be more easily recognised.
