We are in need of a new profile picture. So did you get out and about this weekend with your dog, or did you have a weekend curled up with your cat.... Lets see what you got up to and one picture will be chosen as the new profile picture.
When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.
Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”
Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”
Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.
Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.
Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"
Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."
With the extension virtually complete we have been able to get accredited as a Cat Friendly Practice at Silver level again. Set up by the ISFM (international Cat Care) we have had to meet a certain criteria throughout the entire practice to get this award and we are so pleased with this status!
Cats can often be misunderstood when at the practice, so we aim to make their visit to us as stress free as possible, from separate waiting areas, to letting them get used to their surroundings during consult, and a quiet separate ward away from dogs if they need to stay with us for the day.
Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.
Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.
Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."
Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."
Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.
Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.
Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."
Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."
Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.
After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."
Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."
Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.
Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.
"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as
Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".
He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."
Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."
Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.
Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.
Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."
Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”
Did you know that dogs can give blood too? Fortunately it is not very likely that your dog will need a blood transfusion, but if they do, it means they are probably very unwell, and that blood is likely to give us the best chance of saving their life. Unfortunately blood can be tricky to store for long periods and if we do need it, it tends to be urgent. That's where the Pet Blood Bank comes in. They are a charity who work to coordinate the safe donation and supply of blood to veterinary practices across the country.
You may have met Rooke, one of our practice labradors. On Tuesday Rooke went across to the Willows to join a donation session for the Pet Blood Bank for the first time. If you've seen Rooke coming into or leaving work you will have seen she's a confident girl who loves to meet new people, but is VERY bouncy, and, like many young dogs, can be quite wriggly if we need to restrain her to do anything veterinary with her. This meant we weren't sure she would be the best candidate, despite some last minute training sessions with the nurses!
Rooke turned up and was immediately greeted by a friendly face and a handful of treats. She was then taken to pre-screening where she got a full health check while her mum filled out some forms. Once she was deemed healthy her neck was clipped up and a local anaesthetic cream was applied to numb it for the actual donation. She then had a small blood sample taken to check she wasn't anaemic and for them to send to the lab for a full health screen to check she was healthy. The full blood screen is done for the first donation and then annually after. Everything that is done is dog led (because dogs can't consent to donation like we can), so if they show any objection or distress the process stops, though there are plenty of treats along the way!
Having passed the pre screen she was taken through to the donation room. Here she was again greeted by more food and settled before she was asked to lie on her side for the donation. They don't feel the needle because of the local, but they do need to stay still enough to keep the needle in (this was facilitated by constant belly rubs for Rooke!). About 6 minutes later she had produced enough blood to create a successful first donation which could save up to four lives!
More treats, a lovely bandana and even a dog toy later Rooke went home for a nap and plenty of fuss. The whole process took about 45 minutes and we were able to stay with her the whole time. It's all run by Pet Blood Bank staff who are lovely to work with. She had a full leaflet with aftercare advice and even received a phone call the morning after to check how she was getting on.
As long as Rooke remains healthy, happy to donate, and with an appropriate red blood cell count she will be able to donate every 8 weeks. The Pet Blood Bank are always looking for more donors, especially if you think your dog might be suitable to join Rooke donating at the Willows.
Your dog might be suitable if they are
🩸 Fit and healthy
🩸 Between 1-8 years old
🩸 Weigh more than 25kg
🩸 Have a good temperament
🩸 Have never travelled outside the UK and Ireland
🩸 Not on any medication

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.
Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."
Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.
Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.
"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
Four-year-old Sebastian the Jack Russell is back to his usual boisterous self after being treated at Vets4Pets Abingdon for a condition that was causing the knee caps on his back legs to dislocate when he walked.
The condition, known as medial patellar luxation, would cause him to hop or skip when exercising. It's quite common in terriers and small dog breeds, but Sebastian's case was quite severe and he was given surgery by orthopaedic surgeon Joe to deepen the groove his patella runs in on his right hind leg, and also to move and reattach his patellar tendon.
Sebastian is owned by practice vet Hannah who said: "After the operation he just wanted to get back to normal straight away but he couldn't ... and that's where we struggled. He wanted to be out and about, charging around and playing with his toys but he needed to rest." Hannah had to give him medication for six weeks to give his knees time to heal. She said: "He's absolutely fine now – he's fully recovered and running around like a lunatic again!"
When 11-year-old lurcher Jess was brought into Vets for Pets Leeds Birstall 24/7 Small Animal Hospital on Christmas Eve feeling very poorly with pyometra – a life-threatening uterus infection – the team knew they had to act fast; so vet Emily and nurses JD and Hannah headed straight in to perform emergency surgery on her in the early hours of Christmas morning.
The operation went so well that by lunchtime nurse Krishna was able to call her owner Beth to say she was well enough to come home to recuperate – and Beth made the hour-long drive from her home in Keighley so she could bring Jess home before the family sat down for their Christmas dinner. Beth said: "It was a stressful start to Christmas, as we were worried about Jess because of her age and because she's never had anything wrong with her before. We're so grateful for everything – it was so nice of them to come in on Christmas Day to operate on her, to look after her so well and to get her home on top form. The vets were fantastic from start to finish. Jess is recovering nicely – you can see the happiness is back in her!"
Krishna said: "Our night team always do an amazing job, and performing serious surgery like that at that time of night and on Christmas Day of all days is just brilliant. Jess did amazingly well to bounce back so quickly, and it was amazing being able to call her owners to say that she could come home to spend Christmas with them. It's the sort of call we all love to make, but doing it on Christmas Day was extra nice."
Six-foot-long boa constrictor Astrix was the centre of attention when he called in for a routine "top to tail" health check at Vets4Pets Penzance.
Astrix, who's four, is part of a menagerie of six snakes, bearded dragons and six dogs belonging to veterinary nurse Lowenna, who works at the practice, and her partner Mark. The team looked at Astrix's eyes and mouth and checked his breathing to rule out any respiratory infections and also checked his scales.
Lowenna said: "He got a clean bill of health, he was absolutely fine and everyone had a turn holding him. Asterix is quite reserved, a little bit shy usually. He did really well when he came in as everyone wanted to touch him and he was like 'okay I quite like the attention.' Astrix has got a lovely big set-up at home. He's quite a big boy, weighing in at nearly 10 kilos, so the vivarium is more than seven foot long. We have a reptile room and he has the run of it. He has a large bucket of water too if he ever wants to submerge himself."
This brave girl is collie-cross Sherpa, who the team at Vets for Pets Livingston say was "impeccably calm" when she was rushed in for emergency injury after hurting her eye in a freak accident.
Sherpa's owner Caroline was taking Sherpa for a walk when Sherpa caught her eye on a stick as she went exploring a bush. She was quickly admitted into surgery where she received X-rays and, after a two-hour procedure by practice owner Dr Adam, aided by nurse Erin, the stick was removed. Adam said: "Sherpa was amazingly tolerant following an extremely random occurrence. It was astonishing." Sherpa didn't lose her sight and is now making a great recovery.
Caroline said: “We were suddenly thrown into the worst living nightmare, it was absolutely horrifying. It’s truly a miracle what Adam and the team achieved from the moment they answered our call for help. They gave us hope."
From all of the team at Vets4Pets Solihull - we would like to wish all our clients a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy new year.
Please remember if your pet needs urgent treatment over the Christmas period when the practice is closed. Please call 0121 712 7071
This little Christmas cracker is Molly, who survived against the odds and gave birth to three premature puppies after being brought in to Vets for Pets Cirencester as a pregnant stray with severe injuries from a fight with other dogs.
Martina, who owns the practice, said: ”It was really touch and go and we thought Molly might not make it. The team treated mum first, got her on a drip and stabilised her before successfully managing to deliver the puppies – two boys and a girl – by caesarean section."
Molly, who's a Cairn Terrier, and her three pups are recovering well at home with Martina. “As they needed 24/7 care I took them home and emptied the whole spare bedroom so there was a nice, warm and comfortable quiet place for Molly and her puppies. I was attached to her for the first five days – my husband Matt even brought food up to the bedroom for me as I stayed there all the time. It was really hard work but it was all worth it. They’re absolute darlings and doing really well now – mum is already brave enough to go on dog walks.”
Martina says Molly will continue living with her in the future, and the puppies will be adopted when they are stronger.

❌Toxic Christmas food for pets❌
Christmas is the time for eating, drinking and being merry, but lots of our favourite festive foods are toxic to our dogs and should be kept well out of paws reach:
🐾 Chocolate
🐾 Christmas pudding and mince pies
🐾 Onions (and garlic, leeks, shallots and chives)
🐾 Alcohol
🐾 Macadamia nuts
🐾 Sweets
🐾 Leftovers – don’t be tempted to give your dog leftover Christmas food! It can include hidden ingredients toxic!
This beautiful buzzard is on the mend after undergoing surgery on a broken wing at Vets4Pets Newmarket after he was hit by a car.
A member of the public rescued the buzzard and brought him in to see if the team could help. After a successful operation and five days of recuperation he's ben taken to The Raptor Foundation rehabilitation centre to continue his recovery.
Practice manager Natalie said: "We put him under general anaesthetic and performed orthopaedic surgery. We'll see him again next month to see how he's progressing and then hopefully he'll be released back into the wild. We wish him a speedy recovery as he's such a handsome chap.”
❗️REMINDER❗️
Today is the last day for ordering medication before the Christmas period where we can guarantee (supply providing) your medication arrives before the festive season
Here's a salutary tale in the run-up to Christmas Day ... the story of poor little Tego, who had to be rushed to Vets for Pets Morpeth for emergency treatment after snaffling 48 Quality Street chocolates, their wrappers and part of the box.
Owner Sarah realised chocolate was toxic for dogs so phoned the vets who told her to get the five-year Tibetan Terrier there immediately. Sarah said: "They were brilliant with him. The chocolates were a birthday present for my daughter Olivia, and they were all wrapped up and put in the lounge with the door shut. I went to work and when I came back Tego had somehow managed to get in the room and rip into them."
Vet Eleni and the team helped Tego cough everything up and took blood tests and put him on medication before he was allowed home. Eleni said it's a useful reminder to keep chocolates well hidden – and to act fast if your dog eats any and induce vomiting within one to two hours to prevent the body from absorbing the toxins.
Five-year-old Buddy will be thinking twice about picking up sticks in future after one pierced his tongue and he had to be taken for treatment at Vets4Pets Lisburn.
Owner Danielle says Buddy doesn't normally play with sticks but one day he saw other dogs having fun with sticks and ran over to join in. "We heard a loud yelp and he came sheepishly over to us, with his tail between his legs, and we realised he was in pain. We took him to the practice where Becky the vet found the hole under his tongue and treated him with dissolving stitches, antibiotics and painkillers. Becky was so lovely."
Danielle says: "Buddy is doing absolutely great now and we are keeping an extra eye on him – we've even bought him a fake fabric bendy stick from Pets at Home!"
The work continues with our extension. Our reception and front of house area is now nearly complete. We have dedicated cat waiting areas and hidey holes to pop your cat's carrier in whilst you wait, away from dogs to try and keep stress levels to a minimum
A little later than anticipated but this lovely made it to our profile picture
‼️IMPORTANT INFORMATION‼️
With Christmas day fast approaching, the cut off day to order medication for your pet will be Monday 18th December to allow us enough time to get the medication needed from our suppliers. This is also the case with parasite treatment so please ensure that if you are due to collect flea and worming treatment, this is done with enough time.
Please note our next order will be on the 28th of December so any medication requested after the 18th may not be delivered until the 29th.
This is gorgeous Ghost, who's been regularly visiting the team at Leeds Vets4Pets for some desensitising and socialising.
His owner Abbas said he often pops down to the practice so Ghost, a seven-month-old German Shepherd, can get used to the surroundings. Abbas said: "After he'd had his vaccinations, one of the nurses mentioned that it could be good to bring him in every now and again while he was a puppy so he's not timid or scared of the vets should he need any procedures in the future. Before he was quite nervous going to the vets, but now he gets excited to go in. Everyone at the practice is so welcoming."
Veterinary nurse Alys says: "Puppies who come in just for their vaccinations are understandably much more scared to come back in as they get older, as they associate us with injections. When Ghost comes in we make sure he has lots of positive interactions with the team – and now he walks in happily with his tail wagging and actively seeks everyone out for attention."
Paddy the Shetland Sheepdog is well on the road to recovery after undergoing a life-saving operation to remove his gallbladder at Liverpool Vets4Pets.
Owner Stephen took him to see the team as 11-year-old Paddy was extremely lethargic and his usually "beautiful blue eyes" had gone yellow. After an ultrasound and bloods, Paddy was diagnosed with a gallbladder mucocoele – a life-threatening condition. Paddy spent nearly two and a half hours in surgery but has since made a great recovery. Vet Andre, who performed the surgery with colleague Chloe, said: "It was a great team effort and our nursing staff were wonderful. Thankfully he's doing really well now. He is lovely – he's the sweetest dog."
Stephen, who's had Paddy since he was a puppy, said: "I can't thank the team at Vets for Pets enough for what they did – they saved his life. He's now walking around, eating well and getting back to his usual self."
The festive season is finally upon us and with that comes the need for a new profile picture.
🎅⛄️🎁 Lets see your pets in the festive spirit - do they mind a outfit, do they love a winter wonderland. Post your pics and one will be chosen as 2023's last profile picture
The work continues. Our reception desk has now moved temporarily until we get a new bigger desk, and our new consult rooms are in use.
Thank you to all our clients for bearing with us whilst the work continues and we may not be looking as good as we will!
Our colleagues at Northampton Vets for Pets say 11-year-old English Springer Spaniel Charlie is "an absolute star" during his regular cryotherapy treatments to get rid of some bothersome warts.
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment using a deep freeze pen to get the warts to fall off. Lead consult nurse Kirstie said: "He's lovely, an absolute darling. It's extremely cold but very quick – it only takes a few minutes. We've been doing this treatment for the last three or four months and we've been getting some really good results."
Charlie's owner Andrea said: "He's a fabulous patient. When he goes to the practice he just sits there and waits his turn. He's as good as gold. He's a very calm, laidback springer. When Jenny the head vet first met him she treated him with such love and kindness to reassure him, and the rest of her team love and treat the animals with such care – they know how precious they are to us."
The team at Vets for Pets Hereford have fashioned a clingfilm waistcoat for George the tiny tortoise to wear while he recovers from some shell wounds.
George, who's 18 months old, is taking medication after his carapace was punctured in an accident. Vet Elliot said: "We put a clingfilm body wrap on him with some cream to keep out any infection. He's still having that treatment at the moment, but we'll probably do some surgery in the next month to address the puncture wounds. So far we're really pleased with how things are going."
George's owner Ellie said: "We've had to give George injections every day and he's still got his clingfilm – though I don't think George is aware of what's been going on. The team at Vets for Pets have been amazing with him. I can't fault them."
