🩸Did you know there's a blood bank for pets?🩸

Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity that helps to save the lives of pets in need. It’s just like the human blood service, but for dogs! They run donation sessions across the country where owners bring their much loved dogs to give blood. Our next donation session here at Copthorne Vets is on Sunday 26th October! ❤

Pet Blood Bank needs your help to ensure blood is always available! They are looking for large, happy, healthy, and confident dogs to come forward as blood donors to help save the lives of other dogs in need. 🐾

To be a blood donor, your dog should be...
🐕 Between the ages of 1 and 8
🦴 Weigh over 25kg
💪 Fit and healthy
🥰 Happy, confident, and enjoy meeting new people

If this sounds like your dog, head over to Pet Blood Bank’s website to find out more www.petbloodbankuk.org/dogs ❤

✨️ Welcome back Seren ✨️

We would like you all to join us in saying a HUGE welcome back and congratulations to the newly qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse, Seren! 💙

Some of you may recognise Seren and that's because she did both her 10 week placement and year long placement here with us and we are so proud to announce that she is now a full time member of the Copthorne team! 🥰

Seren qualified from Harper Adams University earlier this year and after spending the summer travelling the globe she is ready to jump feet first into her veterinary career! 💙

In her spare time Seren enjoys nothing more than walking her dogs, playing the piano and horse riding.🐾

🐾 Playful Paddington 🐾

This lovely boy came to see one of our nurses last week and we don't think his tail stopped wagging from the second he stepped into the practice! 😍 He happily showed us all of the tricks under his collar and that smile certainly did brighten up our day (as he always does when he visits!) 🌞

⭐ STAFF SPOTLIGHT ⭐

We have some incredible people in the Copthorne Vets team so we thought we would share a few of the teams recent achievements starting with Stacey! 💙

Stacey is a familiar friendly face who has been with us for almost 10 years! She is one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses and is also our very own Cat Advocate as recognised by the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine). Most recently though, Stacey has completed a certificate in Feline Nursing! 🐈

We asked her what this means for her, for you and for your feline friends:

💬'It means I can advocate for our feline patients better and ensure feline friendly methods are being implemented throughout the practice. Along with this, the course has given me more knowledge to be able to give advice on things such as how to settle new cats into their new homes, advice to first time cat owners, how to help owners who just want general advice about how to improve their cats daily life, how to give feline nutrition advice based on the cats individual needs and health profile and how to make travelling to the vets a less stressful time.’💬

We are all extremely proud of all of the hard work Stacey has put in and of her passion and dedication to her patients! Well Done Stacey! 👏💙

Earlier this year one of our lovely patients, Jessie, crossed over the rainbow bridge after battling with cancer. 🌈
Her human sibling wrote this gorgeous poem that we have kindly been given permission to share.
Jessie you were a wonderful girl and will be dearly missed by all 💙

🐱 Terrific Teddy 🐱
This regal fella came to see us last week for a weight check for his parasite treatment and as you can see he felt right at home in our consult room! 🥰

Did you know that we have been recognised by the International Society of Feline Medicine as a 'Cat Friendly Practice'?? 💗 This means that we have a focus on making vet visits less overwhelming for both you and your cat! 🫶

🧘‍♀️ We have a separate cat and dog waiting area in our reception complete with natural calming sprays and diffusers.

🙅‍♂️ All of our staff have been trained in gentle
handling and we don't believe in 'scruffing' cats!

🎵 Our cat ward has been designed with your furry friends interest at heart so we have; hidey holes for them to hide in (or climb on top of!), blankets for them to snuggle up in, a dimmed lamp to keep them calm and often you'll find classical music being played! (The Pride and Prejudice playlist is a favourite of our nurses!)

🐈 Feline Friday! 🐈
Today we had ANOTHER fashionista visit! This puuuurfect kitty is Maggie! 🥰 She came in for a post operative check with one of our nurses and did a catwalk around the nurses room showing off her fabulous buster collar! 😍
