To become accredited, practices volunteer for rigorous assessment by an RCVS PSS Inspector every four years (and are subject to spot checks between assessments) to ensure the highest standards of veterinary care are maintained. Areas assessed include anaesthesia, surgery, pain management and welfare, infection control, in-patient facilities, diagnostic imaging, dentistry, client experience, the practice team and environmental sustainability 🐶😺
💙 Handsome Reggie 💙
🦷 Reggie visited us two weeks ago for a dental procedure and has since been signed off to continue living his best life.
🥰 Here you can see Reggie having postoperative cuddles from our student veterinary nurse, Seren, and sporting a knitted vest to keep him warm.
🐶 Wouldn’t you agree he looks super cute and cosy?
🐱 From 10th June 2024 cats over 20 weeks of age must be microchipped and registered on a compliant database.
🐱 If your cat is already microchipped it is a good idea to check your details are up to date.

💙The lovely Luke came to see us last week! 💙
He was so well behaved during his appointment that his mum treated him to a Whimzees toothbrush which clearly he couldn't wait to sink his teeth into!😍
These dental treats have grooves and ridges designed specifically to help dogs to remove plaque and tartar while enjoying a tasty treat!🪥🦷

🌟 It's Veterinary Receptionist Awareness Week!! 🌟
We are extremely lucky to have these 3 women behind our reception as the face of Copthorne Vets. 🥰 Our receptionists are often the first and last point of contact during your pets visits to the practice and they go above and beyond for you and your fur babies on a daily basis. Now is our chance to say a HUGE thank you to Laura, Georgia & Emma for all of your hard work each and every day! 💙
Meet the team‼️ (From left to right)
Laura 💚 - Laura has been with us since March 2021 and we wouldn't be able to function without her calm presence, huge smile and infectious laugh! When not at work she can be found walking her gorgeous leonberger Honey in the Shropshire hills and cooking up a storm in the kitchen! 🐕
Georgia 💜 - Georgia joined the team in April 2022 and the whole practice hasn't stopped laughing since that day! She is the creative brain of Copthorne Vets and is always busy working on the next big project. Outside of work Georgia spends most of her time running after her beautiful son Noah and fussing her 2 cats Cleo & Maui. 🐈
Emma ❤️ - Emma is the newest member of the Copthorne team joining us in January 2024, however it feels like she has been with us forever! Her bubbliness and positive attitude is felt by colleagues and clients alike! In her spare time Emma can be found gallivanting across the countryside on horseback with her lovely little boy Fred and loyal spaniel Brian. 🐎
Cat owners 👇🏻 Remember if you are a member of our Pet Club you receive a 20% discount off microchipping fees! 💙

⚠️ Graphic video, viewer discretion is advised ⚠️ 🌾 Grass seed season is upon us 🌾 Due to their narrow sharp shape, they can easily penetrate your pet’s coat and skin. Most common hiding places include paws, ears, nose, eyes and armpits. Poor Lyra, had a grass seed stuck in her paw today which had to be removed by our veterinary team. Remember to check your furry friend over after walks and monitor them for any sneezing, head shaking, redness, small swellings, excessive licking, lameness or entry holes.
Lovely Lola visited us today for her second vaccinations. Here’s a quick video of her tucking into some lickilicks. #lickelix #lickimat #fearfree #fearfreevetvisit #copthornelove #WeCareAsMuchAsYouDo #welldeservedtreat
