🐈 Double Trouble 🐈

This gorgeous pair are Jason and Eddie! 😍 They came in last week for their parasite treatments with RVN Seren! They were thoroughly enjoying the treats and fusses in consult, so much so that it was tricky to get a photo of them both looking at the same time! 🤣

🪳It is extremely important to treat your pets against parasites regularly to protect your fur baby and prevent an infestation from invading your home this cosy season! 🪳

If you struggle to administer the treatments to your furry friends you are always welcome to book an appointment with one of our nurses to administer it for you or to teach you how to do so correctly. 😊

To order your pets parasite treatment or to book an appointment please call us on 01743 360614 📞

⭐️ STAFF SPOTLIGHT ⭐️

Continuing in celebrating our incredible teams recent achievements we would like to put the spotlight on our very own Zoe! 💙

Zoe is one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses who many of you will recognise as she has been a part of the Copthorne team for 4 years. However, Zoe actually joined us on both her placements prior to this during her nurse training at Harper Adams University! Clearly she liked us, because once qualified we were lucky enough to gain her as a full time member of the team! 💙

Earlier this year Zoe achieved a Post Graduate Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing focusing on Anaesthesia!! This certificate took 18 long months of studying hard, sitting exams, completing numerous assignments and learning both online and at Harper Adams University, all while working full time and providing the highest level of care to you and your pets! 🐾

💬 Zoe’s certificate will provide her with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement evidence-based improvements to the management of anaesthetic cases in practice. It will develop and extend her already vast knowledge of the anatomical structures and physiological processes relevant to anaesthesia in order to advance her current skills and patient care. 📚

A huge congratulations Zoe! We are all so proud of you and all of your hard work!! 👏💙

Here's a picture of some of the staff dogs as cartoons, aren't they brilliant?! 🐾

🌺 Lest we forget 🌺

On Remembrance Day, we take time to remember the service and sacrifice of all of the men, women and animals that dedicated their lives for us during the World Wars and to those who continue to do so today. We remember and we thank you. ❤️

Rocky went to the Shrewsbury Remembrance Parade on Sunday wearing his purple poppy with pride. This badge honours the animals who gave their lives and served bravely without complaint. 💜

Many people are unaware that during the First and Second World Wars, millions of animals served to help the British troops. We thought we would introduce you to a few...

🐎 Horses, mules, donkeys and camels - These strong animals were used mainly for transport, patrols and carrying supplies and the injured.

🐕 Dogs - During WW1 dogs were used as messengers and sentries but by WW2 they were also used to detect landmines.

🐈 Cats - Interestingly, thousands of cats were used in the trenches to control vermin.

🐦 Carrier pigeons - As the name suggests, pigeons were used to carry messages.

🐒 Monkeys, foxes, goats, rams (to name but a few!) - Many animals became mascots for different regiments over the years.

🐾🏅WE'VE GOT GOLD!!🏅🐾

We are so extremely pleased to announce that we are officially a Gold accredited Cat Friendly Clinic!! 🐈

Our 'Cat Advocate' Stacey has been working hard behind the scenes to progress us from a Silver (which we have held for 3 years already!) to a Gold and earlier this week we found out that we had achieved it!! 💙

Here at Copthorne Vets we understand that there are unique difficulties with bringing cats into practice and so they need a specific standard of care. Our staff have undergone training in gentle handling and do all they can to provide a less stressful environment for you and your feline friends. We have a designated cat waiting area and cat ward with many new features to help keep your kitty happy during their visit!💙

THIS IS OUR PROMISE TO YOU:
🐈 We are gentle and caring with cats
🐈 We understand the needs of cats
🐈 We have cat friendly facilities

🎆 Firework Season 🎆

We are well and truly in firework season now and although this is lovely for us, it can be rather unsettling for our companions! 😔

Here are some top tips to help you and your fur babies over the next few days!

🎆 Walk your dogs during the day when there is no risk of fireworks startling them.

🎆 Try to keep cats indoors at night and keep cat flaps and windows closed to prevent them getting out.

🎆 Ensure microchip details are up to date - this is the easiest way of us reuniting you with your pet should they get lost.

🎆 Use calming or pheromone sprays/diffusers within your home such as Pet Remedy or Feliway.

🎆 Use sound (eg radio/TV) to drown out the noise of the firworks. The Dogs Trust has put together a Spotify playlist called 'Soft Sounds For Dogs' which may help. Classic FM will also be doing their annual 'Pet Classics' radio show to help keep animals calm during peak firework times.

🎆 Make sure your pet has a safe and comfortable place to hide/retreat to if they get scared.

🎆 Keep calm and try to ignore the fireworks yourself! Our pets often look to us for guidance, so if we remain calm (as if there is no threat) then it can help them to feel calmer and less threatened.

👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃

We hope you all have a very spooktacular Halloween!! 👻

Please remember that although us humans love the tricks and treats...our furry friends do not! ❌️

A few things to remember this spooky season...

👻 Try your best not to scare animals...save your 'BOO's for your friends!

🍫 Keep the treats for yourself! Sweets and chocolate can be fatal if eaten by cats & dogs!

🎆 Keep your pets inside in a safe calm environment if fireworks are expected near by.

🚪 Respect people's choices - if there's no decorations, lights or pumpkins then don't knock. If people have nervous pets then they may not want to participate in trick or treating.

‼️ If you have any concerns this halloween (especially if your pet has eaten something they shouldn't) then please call your vet immediately‼️
