**WARNING**
You may receive an email from Petchip.network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated – PLEASE IGNORE. THIS IS A SCAM. The email comes with a link taking you to a page showing your pet’s name, microchip number, your contact phone number and looks very convincing. PLEASE IGNORE.

There is a list of approved databases on gov.uk: Get your dog or cat microchipped - GOV.UK

Typically you would only pay a fee or first registering your pet or if you contact the company to update your details .

It is important to keep your pet’s microchip contact details up-to-date including if you move address or change phone number/ email address. Please contact your microchip provider direct to update your details.

We are asking pet owners to return any unused or leftover antibiotic medications to us for safe disposal. Please drop off any unused medications to us at the practice. This medication might be left-over from a recent prescription, antibiotics that you didn’t need or out-of-date medication. Let’s keep antibiotics working, together!

Happy National Black Cat Day.

Did you know that National Black Cat Day was originally started in 2011 by the Cats Protection League? They wanted to raise awareness of all the homeless black cats in rescue centres. Sadly, black cats are usually the last to be rehomed compared to other colours.

But, if you've ever owned a black or black and white cat you'll know how unique and special they are.

It would be lovely to see some photos of your mini panthers and tuxedo cats.

We'll start it off with Squeak and Ozzy who belong to one of our nurses.
