🐈‍⬛MICROCHIPPING🐈‍⬛

As of June 10th 2024 it will become compulsory to have all cats in England microchipped. If you have a young kitten, they must have a microchip by the time they’re 20 weeks old.

If your cat is not microchipped, please contact the practice to arrange an appointment with one of our nurses to have it implanted and registered💉.
If you think your cat may already have a microchip but would like to double check, this can also be carried out by one of our team.

For those who are on our health plan scheme, microchipping is free of charge. For clients who are not, the fee for this service is currently £16.50.

If you require any further information, please call the surgery🐾

Our friendly team is looking to recruit an additional small animal veterinary surgeon for our independent 3 site practice in West Berkshire. Our main branch at Tutts Clump is ideally situated between Reading and Newbury in a beautiful rural area, with branch surgeries in Pangbourne and Spencers Wood.

Our days generally consist of both consulting and operating, with a good mix of surgical and medical caseload. We have all the usual diagnostic toys that you would expect including digital x-ray, new ultrasound machines and endoscopy. We have an equally shared Saturday morning rota, with Vets Now covering our overnight and remaining weekend out of hours.

We are keen to support new graduates and have experience in this. Likewise, we would absolutely love to welcome another experienced team member and are happy to facilitate development of your interests. We would happily support you in completing a certificate if desired and there is also potential to take charge of and develop one of our branch surgeries. CPD allowance is generous – if it's going to be of benefit to the practice then we'll generally pay for it!

Our new standard is typically a 4.5 day working week but our rota is flexible so can be discussed to suit your requirements. Usual benefits apply – paid RCVS, BSAVA etc memberships, private health insurance. Salary commensurate with experience: c33-50k but we are always open to discussion.

Please see our website www.valleyvet.co.uk for more information about the practice and email CV/covering letter to [email protected]
