Treasured pets now safer as microchipping for cats becomes compulsory
New legislation laid in Parliament today introducing mandatory cat microchipping

From:
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and The Rt Hon Thérèse Coffey MP

Government delivers on key manifesto pledge to introduce compulsory microchipping for all owned cats
Owners will have until 10 June 2024 to microchip their cat
Microchipping cats will help reunite thousands of lost or stray pets every year
New legislation to introduce compulsory cat microchipping is being laid in Parliament today (13 March), making it easier for lost or stray pet cats to be reunited with their owners and returned home safely.

There are over 9 million pet cats in England, with as many as 2.3 million unchipped, meaning that it would be very difficult to reunite them with their owner if they get lost or stolen.

The new microchipping rules follow a Government call for evidence and consultation on the issue in which 99% of respondents expressed support for the measure. The introduction of compulsory cat microchipping was a manifesto commitment and an Action Plan for Animal Welfare pledge.

The new rules mean cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database. All owners must have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500.

Important notice

Please note the from the 1st of September the way we prescribe medication is changing.

The RCVS have advised that we are no longer able to prescribe certain medications without preforming a clinical examination of your pet.

The new guidelines require a physical examination of the pet every time and antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasiticides are prescribed.

This includes oral antibiotics but also topical preparations such as:

· Ear drops, Eye Drops and All prescriptions for flea/worm/tick products

The measure is in place to ensure responsible antimicrobial use and reducing the veterinary impact on the wider global antibiotic resistance and decline of insect populations.

What this will mean in practice is that your pet will need to come in for an in-person consultation every time:

· We need to prescribe medication for an ear infection (as most products contain antibiotics)
· We need to prescribe antibiotics for any skin problem, even if it’s a chronic problem.
· We suspect a urinary tract infection. (remote/online consultation and urine analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)
· We suspect a gastrointestinal infection. (remote/online consultation and faecal analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)
· We/you decide to change from one flea/worm/tick product to another.
We are no longer able to prescribe deworming products on the basis of a laboratory report alone, we will need to see the pet for a consultation and physical examination first.

· For long term prescription medication that is not an antimicrobial/antiparasitic, our usual policy of requiring an examination every 3-6 depending on the medication/condition NOTE: remote/online consultations are no longer sufficient.


Please note that normal consultation fees will apply.

New condition: £42.00

Continuation of same condition: £25.00



If you have any questions or concerns about the new guidelines, please direct this to RCVS on 0207 202 0789.

Client notice.
From the 5th August we will be sharing our Small animal weekend out of hours service with our friends, Spire vets, over in Chesterfield. Equine and Large animal will not be changing.
This decision has been made to ensure we can continue to provide independent emergency care 365 days a year at reasonable costs to our clients.
This could mean if you require emergency veterinary care outside of our opening hours, you may need to visit Spire Vets premises.
Please do ring our usual number and you will be informed as required. If you wish to discuss this, please do not hesitate to reach out and a member of our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

**UPDATE - A MARE HAS BEEN ORGANISED, thank you all for the huge help to support this lovely foal!**

Please can you help us find a foster mum for an orphan foal currently hospitalised in Malton at Rainbow Equine? Little ‘Stardust’ is in need of help, if you can help please contact the hospital reception 💪 ideally looking for a mare who may reside at the foals home please!

27/02/2023

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Please note that due to an exceptional amount of appointments being missed and not cancelled we have taken the decision to charge £15.00 for missed appointments.
In January we had a total of 17 hours worth of appointments not attended. As most of you know we are an extremely busy practice and if these appointments were cancelled we likely could have assisted other clients and their poorly pets.
If you aren’t able to attend your appointment please call reception on 0114 2645454 as soon as possible so that we may be able to offer the time to another client.
We ask that appointments are cancelled with 24 hours notice
Thank you.
All the staff at Green vets

Have you experienced some snowfall? Don't forget to wipe your dog’s paws and belly after walks to remove any ice or salt, and regularly check for cracks in paw pads or for redness between the toes. Grit/rock salt can be toxic to dogs and cats if ingested.
