In 2024 we won Best Vets in Surrey for the second consecutive year, and we were in the top 25 vets in the UK; we would love to retain the Best Vets in Surrey this year, or even win Best UK Vet! The awards are based on the number of reviews we receive in a year period (11th Feb 2024 -10th Feb 2025). Even if you have left us a review before, the ones prior to 10th February 2024 are not counted for the 2025 awards, so we kindly ask for everyone to leave us an up to date review for it to count.

Another day another blood donor plea I’m afraid…. If anyone is local to Reigate, and has a dog who has previously donated blood, we urgently need DEA negative blood. We have two dogs requiring transfusion before emergency surgery, and have a positive donor for one, but need a negative donor for the other. If you are able to help and know your dogs blood type is negative, please call us on 01737 242190

❤❤Heart Awareness Month❤❤

February marks the start of Heart Awareness Month at Priory, which means our new heart screening clinics with our vet, Anna, are in full swing! These clinics are designed to screen breeds that have a higher risk of heart disease, in the hope that we can pick up affected animals before they progress to heart failure. There is a significant amount of research suggesting that, correctly timed medical interventions in heart disease cases, can significantly extend quality and length of life in affected animals. Sadly, heart disease is a silent killer in our pets, and often clinical signs are not apparent until they present in a crisis, or with signs of congestive heart failure. If we can pick these cases up earlier, we have the chance to try and slow the progression of heart disease, and delay signs of heart failure from developing.

Symptoms of heart disease can include but are not limited to:
- Exercise intolerance, panting, and increased respiratory effort.
- In some cases, a heart murmur or abnormal rhythm may be audible with a stethoscope,
but not in all cases. This is why we recommend combining a general check over with a measurement of blood pressure, and a blood test for two of the cardiac markers.
We are offering our 30-minute heart screening clinics in February for £200 to include a general examination, blood pressure measurement, and blood test for proBNP and troponin.

To find out more or to book an appointment please give us a call.

🐰🐇 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐁𝐈𝐓 𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐒 🐇🐰

Many of you may have heard about the highly virulent strain of rabbit haemorrhagic viral disease. It is strongly suspected that this strain is already in the UK, and all rabbit owners are being advised to consider vaccinating their rabbits against it.

There is currently no evidence that the triple vaccine that is routinely available covers this variant, so as a safety precaution, we are advising all rabbits have the additional vaccine.

We will be running a vaccination day with a multi-dose vial on 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲, at our 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡.

Nicola will be the consulting vet and will be wearing appropriate PPE while handling rabbits - please do not be alarmed by this! This is to maintain a good level of biosecurity between patients, the room will be cleaned down in full and personal protection changed between clients and/or groups of rabbits. Your pet will receive a full clinical health check.

Please note that there needs to be a minimum of a 2 weeks gap between the Myxo/RHD vaccine before this vaccine can be given.

New patients are welcome to register interest, but medical history will be required before consult.

The cost of the vaccine will be £70, which includes the health check. Please give us a call if you would like to get your rabbit booked in.
