🐇 Smudge & Roxy 🐰
We don't see a huge amount of rabbits in practice so they are very special guests when we do!
Smudge and Roxy came for a nail clip and 6 month health check with a nurse. Health checks are very important for rabbits so you can check things like their weight, check their ears for any signs of mites and their teeth for any signs of overgrowth that may be causing pain or making it difficult for them to eat comfortably.

❗Please remember❗If you are a member of our rabbit Healthy Pet Club, you get a free 6 month health check included in this and nail clips are also included!

Blue Monday typically falls on the third Monday of January and is often considered the “saddest day of the year”.
Fortunately, we all know that our pets are great at cheering us up, and here’s how they can help raise your spirits this January:-
Studies show that interacting with pets — like stroking their fur or playing — releases oxytocin (the "feel-good" hormone) and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).
Walking a dog or playing with a cat keeps you active, which boosts endorphins and helps combat sadness or depression.
Pets are very intuitive, meaning they can sense when you are feeling down.
Their comforting presence alone can be enough to soothe any feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness.

photos in the comments! 🐶�

Meet the lovely Maverick!
He came to visit us recently for a castrate procedure and we all fell slightly in love. He is the most gentle boy.
Here he is enjoying some enrichment with a ball before his procedure, and wrapped up with his crocodile teddy after his procedure before enjoying a nice meal. We wish you a super speedy recovery Maverick so you can return to your energetic spaniel ways as soon as possible.

BEFORE AND AFTER 🦷

Larks owner very kindly allowed us to share these before and after photos. The first photo is before Larks dental procedure, where we can clearly see a large build up of plaque and tartar. We can also see the canine teeth are filed down, this could be caused by chewing stones or tennis ball usage. As long as the pulp of the tooth is not exposed, this should not cause any discomfort to the animal but it is something to be aware of.

Whilst we have cleaned the surface of the teeth, we have also checked for any changes underneath the gums and deterioration of any roots of the teeth. We can use radiographs and probing to look for further damage that may not be visible on the surface. Lark needed to have 3 extractions in total as disease had started to effect the roots of these teeth, something that a simple scale and polish would not have helped to resolve.

It is important to have annual or 6 monthly check ups for your pet so we can check for any signs of dental deterioration during a routine health check with a nurse or a vet.

We are sure Lark is feeling much more comfortable now 😁

This is the beautiful Miniature Australian Shepherd, Ethel. Ethel came into see us recently (with her sister, Lola, for moral support!) for her second vaccines.
Ethel was a very brave girl! She had already had her first vaccines with her breeder so needed to come to see us for her second vaccinations only.
Please give us a call if you are getting a puppy soon to see what vaccinations they will require upon coming home with you.

January marks the beginning of Walk Your Dog Month, designed to encourage dog owners to be more active and ensure their pets get sufficient exercise. It highlights the importance of regular walks for a dog's physical and mental health whilst promoting a healthier lifestyle for pet owners too.
It will not come as a surprise that there are many benefits to regular dog walks:
Physical Health: Prevents obesity and keeps dogs fit.
Mental Stimulation: Outdoor walks provide sensory enrichment through smells, sights, and sounds.
Behaviour Improvement: Exercise can reduce boredom, destructive behaviour and anxiety.
Bonding: Strengthens the relationship between owners and their pets.
Have you enjoyed many winter walks this season? ️ Throughout January we will be sharing more pet care tips, so do keep an eye on our social media platforms.

Thank you so much to all of you that provide donations both to ourselves and bring in for us to drop to local charities.

We kindly had a very large toy donation recently and staff dog Levi took it upon himself to rummage through the bags and take the most suitable ones back to his bed with him!

Donations never go unnoticed and we are extremely grateful. This particular toy donation has been added to our toy box to be used as interaction and play for our patients here at Twyford.

This is the handsome Merlin! He has a very unique way of asking for and taking treats! We think Dreamies may possibly be his most favouite snack in the world...!

WARNING: NEEDLES Here at Twyford we have made a short video of us placing an IV catheter with a cat. It is important to place an IV when a patient is in with us either as an impatient or for a procedure as it is much quicker way to administer medication via an IV as it works quickly going straight into the bloodstream. We have one nurse or vet holding the patient whilst the other applies the catheter in a calm environment so we can keep the patient as relaxed as possible. If a patient is really nervous, we are able to give a mild sedation in advance of an IV placement to make the process more comfortable for them.

We love taking our pets everywhere with us - but how prepared are you? Here are some of our top trips on traveling with your companions!

You may never have seen behind the consultation room in a veterinary practice. So take a look at the work our vets and nurses do on the front line every day to look after animals in veterinary practices, hospitals, in the field and on call - so that they receive the best possible care. Thanks to Molly Case for the poem you have written about our profession. #careforanimals #veterinaryprofession

Our Story

TWYFORD Veterinary Clinic has been in Twyford village for many years, and we moved from our very small two-up and two-down building to our newly renovated, all singing and dancing surgery at 45-47 London Road in 2015. We are open all day for consulting and operations, 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am to 1pm on Saturdays. Our many facilities include a fully operating surgical theatre, radiography and ultrasound, dental facilities, and separate dog and cat waiting areas and kennels. Our vets Michal and Ellie are available to look after all your pets’ needs. Our fully qualified nurses Laura and Anna, along with our student nurses Jade, Steph & Sophie run clinics during the day and give advice.

Our patient care assistants Dee & Amy are also on hand to assist the vets and nurses with your pets care and will happily give cuddles and treats to make your pets experience as pleasant as possible. Receptionists Michelle, Sharon and Emma are at the end of the phone to make appointments for you, and discuss our fantastic money saving Healthy Pet Club scheme. Call in to meet the team and have a look round if you are passing!
