What is better than a puppy?
Answer: 9 of them😍
This week we had some very cute, 6 week old, Labrador x Cocker spaniel puppies in for their microchips. As you can see, they enjoyed their visit to our Shepton practice, not bothered by their microchip being injected and tails wagging throughout.
Microchipping is a legal requirement for dogs and cats, and can be a reassuring safeguard for many other pets. This quick and stress-free procedure provides a permanent method of identification for your pet, ensuring they are easily reunited with you in case of loss.

Vet Polly had a interesting consultation recently at our Wells branch. Poor Archie arrived in practice limping and uncomfortable when touching his paw. Polly admitted him for further investigations. Watch the video below to see what was found 👀 It’s a good one!! #SheptonVets #Wellsvets

As well as pets, at Shepton & Wells Vets we try to help our local wild animals too. This female tawny owl was rescued on the land of one our farm clients in late November, hanging precariously by fishing line from a tree above a lake.
Brought in immediately to vet Greg on a Monday morning, the owl was checked over, warmed up and then anaesthetised and X-rayed to check for wing fractures. Amazingly, the owl escaped with only swollen soft tissue and some feather damage.
With help from one of our patient’s owners who provided a few days of TLC, and then with a great deal of rehab (and repair of feathers) by our friends at West of England Falconry in Newton St Loe, nr Bath, the owl was eventually fit enough to be released in January.
All that were involved in the owl’s rescue and her care were present for release on the same land, and it was amazing to see her fly off so gracefully!
We care for your pet as we do our own At Shepton Vets we recognise that your pet is a member of the family and strive to treat them as if they were our own.
