You don't have to be a Vet or Nurse to work with us, don't you know! Our clinical teams couldn't do the amazing work they do without the support of our non-clinical colleagues.
We regularly recruit for a range of non-clinical roles across our independent, family-owned group of 12 surgeries. Why not check out our latest vacancies & see if you spot your perfect role?

Today is National Wildlife Day! Here's a throwback to when this little chap walked himself to his local surgery. Coincidentally, he did need medical treatment! 🦔
Our nurses took him in and got him the parasite treatment he needed. He has since been rehabilitated and released back into the wild.❤️
Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈🐾 This is a day to honour and remember our cherished pets who have passed away.
The connection we have with our pets is completely unique and for many of us, it's one of the closest relationships we'll form in our lifetime. The loss of a much-loved pet can be truly devastating and any grief you feel afterwards is entirely valid.
We have trained bereavement counsellors in our team who can provide support to anyone who is struggling after the loss of their pet. If you think a call might be helpful, please speak to your local surgery and they will set this up for you.
Beyond this, there are charities who have trained volunteers on hand to offer bereavement support & additional emotional support. This includes:
❤️ Blue Cross - an animal welfare charity with a wealth of experienced professionals to provide bereavement support. They offer a free confidential helpline and email service. Their helpline is open from 8:30am – 8:30pm, 7 days a week. You can contact them on 0800 096 6606 or alternatively, email [email protected].
❤️ Cat's Protection - their Paws to Listen grief support service offers a free and confidential phone line where you can talk to one of their trained volunteer listeners. You can access the helpline on 0800 024 94 94 and it’s open 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday - excluding Bank Holidays.
❤️ Samaritans - you can speak to the Samaritans for free, at any time, from any phone, on 116 123.
❤️ Shout - Text SHOUT to 85258 to receive free, confidential help and support 24/7.
We welcome the law that came into force over the weekend, making the theft of a cat or taking or detaining a dog a criminal offence in England and Northern Ireland.
Under the Pet Abduction Act 2024, anyone found guilty of stealing a cat or dog could face up to five years in prison as well as a fine.
Research suggests that 2,290 dogs were reported stolen in 2023, equivalent to six animals a day.
Steps you can take to keep your pet safe include:
- Getting them microchipped (this is a legal requirement).
- Not letting your dog out of your line of vision on walks.
- Not leaving your dog outside a shop unaccompanied, even if you're only popping in briefly.
- Not leaving your dog in the garden unattended.
Our team have plenty of availability for microchipping. This is a quick, straight-forward procedure and will give you the best chance of being reunited with your pet in the unthinkable event they go missing.

Be on the lookout for blue-green algae! ⚠️
Blue-green algae is highly poisonous, and can even be toxic to dogs. But what exactly is blue-green algae, what does it look like, and when & where are you most likely to come across it?
Blue-green algae is a term used to describe a group of bacteria, called cyanobacteria. It's most commonly found in non-flowing, fresh water such as lakes, ponds and rivers.
Hot weather can cause it to grow rapidly, and you may see this as a 'bloom' across the surface of the water. Other conditions can trigger it to thrive, so be aware of its presence at other times of the year as well.
Blue-green algae can look like:
- A blue-green scum has appeared on the surface of the water
- Green flakes, greenish bundles or brown dots in a pond, lake or stream
- A green, blue-green or greenish-brown paint on the surface of the water
- Foam around the edges of ponds and lakes
⛔ If in doubt, do NOT let your dog enter the water. ⛔
If your dog has entered water that you suspect may contain blue-green algae, you MUST get them to the vet immediately. Symptoms of poisoning and even fatality can occur within as little as 15 minutes.
2 weeks left! Until the end of August 2024, we're offering up to 20% off the cost of BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery by reducing our price to £2,000/£1,600. This is delivered by our exceptional team with 24/7 in-patient aftercare for ultimate peace of mind.

You may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
➡️ Snorting/snoring

➡️ Shortness of breath
➡️ Inability to tolerate exercise
➡️ Sensitivity to heat
This doesn't necessarily mean they have BOAS, but it may be worth bringing them in to see our team so we can check them over and make sure they're happy and healthy.
Our team will be happy to advise if you have any questions about BOAS or what the surgery involves: https://www.thepetvet.co.uk/contact-us

📢 Direct pet insurance claims - with no admin fee!
Our customers can benefit from direct pet insurance claims with pre-authorisation from their insurance provider. This means your insurer pays us directly for the cost of your pet's treatment, so you're not left out of pocket. 💰
To help us process a direct claim efficiently:
Before your appointment:
☑️ Contact your insurance company to give your permission for us to speak directly to your insurer – and let us know when this permission has been granted.
☑️ Check your policy so that you’re aware of the excess and any co-payments that your insurer stipulates, as these will need to be paid to your surgery on the day of your pet’s appointment.
On the day of your appointment:
☑️ Bring your insurance documentation along to your pet's appointment.
☑️ Bring your fully completed claim form to your pet’s appointment, ensuring all policyholder sections are covered. The form needs to be signed & dated in the relevant sections, confirming the payment is to be sent directly to us.
Our team will then be able to undertake all the necessary administration work relating to your claim. It's as simple as that!
We recommend all our customers take out a good quality pet insurance product. We are a Vetsure-accredited group and, as such, promote the Vetsure range of pet insurance products. To find out more, visit vetsure.com. If you’re one of our Pet Health Plan members, you’re eligible for a 5-week free trial.

Joanne said: "Zeus was diagnosed with a tumour on the Thursday and in to have it removed just a few days later. I cannot even explain how very grateful I am to the whole team, from the receptionists who are so kind and lovely to the care team and vets. Zeus was given top quality care and treatment and we got the great news that the tumour was benign! I totally recommend them and the hot chocolate in the free vending machine is pretty awesome too 😊."

⚠️ PLEASE SHARE ⚠️ Don't hesitate to take immediate action if you see a dog in a hot car. Every second can be the difference between life and death.
It's going to be a hot one over the next couple of days! ☀️ Watch this short video below to familiarise yourself with the signs of heatstroke.
⚠️ Heatstroke can be fatal. Spotting the signs early and treating it quickly can improve your pet's chances of survival.
Best of all - we recommend taking sensible precautions to prevent heatstroke in the first place! This includes:
✔️ Going for a walk either first thing in the morning or later in the evening when the air temp is lower and the ground is cooler. If in doubt – skip the walk altogether.
✔️ Not leaving your pet alone in a hot area, such as a car - even for a short period of time.
✔️ Ensuring your pet has constant access to fresh water.
✔️ Making sure your pet has access to shade if outdoors.
✔️ Providing a damp towel for them to stretch out on = heaven.
It's not just dogs we need to be mindful of in hot weather. Cats, other small furries and feathered friends will benefit from being kept in the cool with easy access to water.
Remember, we're open Saturday & Sunday if you need us this weekend: https://www.thepetvet.co.uk/contact-us

Chris says: "Our elderly dog Penny wasn’t feeling too well, so we decided to take her to The Pet Vet. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional.
"The booking process was straightforward, and the receptionist was both helpful and friendly. They managed to schedule an appointment for us the same day, which was a relief.
"Upon arrival, we were impressed by the modern and clean facility. We were greeted warmly and didn’t have to wait at all; the vet saw us right on time.
"The vet was extremely professional and introduced himself, accompanied by a student vet who was also very pleasant. He took the time to ask about our concerns regarding Penny and listened attentively.
"Penny was thoroughly examined, and the vet provided clear and informative explanations about potential issues and the steps we could take. At no point did we feel pressured into any decisions.
"The reassurance that Penny was in good overall health and that her symptoms were consistent with her age was comforting.
"Overall, I would highly recommend The Pet Vet for their professional, compassionate, and efficient service."
Today is National Kitten Day! We'd love to see your kitten pics below and a grown up comparison! 📷🐱
Is your pet scratching their ears and/or shaking their head a familiar sight? 👀 Read on to find out what might be causing this, and how you can take advantage of our July special offer to help put a stop to it!
Excessive ear scratching and head shaking can be the result of an overgrowth of your pet's own bacteria or yeast causing inflammation & discomfort in their ears. This is very common, and ear cytology can help us treat it.
Ear cytology involves taking a sample from your pet's ear using a cotton bud & a**lysing this under a microscope. This tells us whether it's yeast overgrowth or bacterial overgrowth (pictured), and helps us treat it appropriately.
Frequent head shaking & ear scratching isn't normal. If your pet is showing these symptoms, please bring them in for further investigation.
Special July offer - we're offering ear cytology at a discounted rate from £25 (previously £65). Book your next appointment: https://www.thepetvet.co.uk/contact-us

Let's face it, some of our pets have zero concept of personal space. And most of the time, we absolutely love it! However, if they have particularly pongy breath, this may cause problems (for your nose, at least) when they lean in a little closer...👃 Did you know pet breath shouldn't actually smell bad? By maintaining a good oral hygiene routine, you can keep suspicious smells at bay, as well as many other signs of dental disease. 🦷 During a dental health check, our team can examine your pet's teeth and spot any potential issues before they have a chance to develop into anything more serious (or expensive). If you have any concerns about your pet's teeth, don't delay coming in to see our team! https://www.thepetvet.co.uk/contact-us #dentalhygiene #dentalhealth #pethealth #petwellness #petwellbeing

We're delighted to have become an accredited dog-friendly clinic, as assessed by Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association! 🐶 This initiative helps to ensure the most comfortable veterinary care experience possible for dogs and their owners. Many dogs find vet visits stressful, which can result in them being unwilling to enter clinics, being difficult to examine, and worried during treatment. The Dog Friendly Clinic scheme helps practice staff develop dog behaviour knowledge and skills so they can recognise and address early signs of anxiety and improve the welfare of dogs whilst in the clinic. Through the scheme created by Dogs Trust and the BVBA, canine experts provide the tools for clinic staff to learn more about dog behaviour, including how pain and health conditions can be contributing factors to behaviour, and how to reduce the impact of visiting the vet for dogs. #thepetvet #thepetvetrotherham #dogfriendlyclinic #doghealth #dogsafety #dogwellness #dogwellbeing
