Welcome Amy!

We would like to introduce to you our newest member of the team, Amy Overend.
Amy graduated from the University of Liverpool in July 2024 before starting at Dalehead in January 2025. She is looking forward to getting stuck into everything and finding out what aspects of the job she enjoys best.
When she isn't dealing with animals, Amy loves travelling or anything fun outdoors, so she is often found up mountains and occasionally in the ocean. But also likes a quiet day at home, baking or being artsy. We are sure that you will all help to make her welcome at the practice and to the area.

MISSING CAT 😿

Has everyone seen Whisper?

Whisper has been missing since Wednesday from Brogden Lane Barnolsdwick. He is 7 months old and is microchipped!
His owners are extremely worried and anxious for his safe return.

If you can help at all please contact the surgery on 01729 823538
Thank you

!MISSING! Bean - black cat, very timid/ fearful of people.
Likely to be around Lawkland Hall Farm, last seen at pin on map.
Last seen Saturday afternoon.

It is not usual for him to be gone this long. He doesn’t usually go very far from the house unless he’s with his owner and the dogs.

His family are concerned he has sheltered from the weather and got himself shut in somewhere. He will hide from people rather than make himself known. If people around the area of the pin are willing to leave outbuilding doors open for a bit in case he is inside, they would be really grateful.

Please let me know if you think you have seen him 01729823538.

Here’s the first in our series of A-Z videos about the practice- we thought it might be useful to share some information about anaesthetics as we often get asked lots of questions about these.
Big thanks to our superstar patients: Margot the rabbit, Caleb the cat, Pippa, Bear and Skye the dogs as well as all their owners for taking part.

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION - DEADLINE!

Hopefully you saw our post earlier in the week and have already ordered and collected any repeat medication for your pet to ensure you do not run out over the festive season! However, if not please contact us asap so we can be sure we can dispense any mediation for you in time for Christmas.

Prescriptions only medications can only be dispensed by one of our vets and we ask for 24 - 48 hours notice to enable the vet to check the clinical record for your pet and then prescribe and dispense any necessary medications.

Your pet will also need to have been seen by one of our vets within our repeat medication check period and some medication may need to be ordered in specially to fill the prescription. Please don't delay as we want all your pets to stay well and enjoy a happy and healthy Christmas with you. 🎄
