Whilst we don’t recommend double sausage rolls for your dog at Bruford's of Debenham we can vouch for their taste and the marvellous soup!…..

So lovely to join some of our team tonight to celebrate the achievements of Jessica and Jemma before they leave us for and an African wildlife charity. When people leave to follow their dreams we always want them to leave well - and these two have faced challenge, developed incredible professional skills and experience and achieved beyond their expectations. We are delighted they chose us as a team to invest in and incredibly proud of their time with us - and feeling very lucky to have on our doorstep to walk to!

Fantastic Felix spent the day with us today in our cat ward. Alongside the support for his his mobility issues we are also working with his owner to manage his kidney disease. Today he was given fluids and had multiple readings of his blood pressure throughout the day to enable us to get an accurate picture - along with a lot of fuss and attention from our ward team. At 17 Felix has great quality of life still and although he needs support with his health, working closely with his owner we are able together to ensure that he enjoys his life to the full. This level of engaged care and relationship are really rewarding for us and hugely beneficial for Felix - at its best

We have had a deceased tortoiseshell cat brought in to us after a car hit her. She is not chipped so we have not been able to trace her owner. If you are missing a cat that fits this description please contact us.

Ace was brought in yesterday to collect his flea and worming treatment. At twelve weeks his owners are ensuring that along with being safely socialised they are also giving him opportunities to become comfortable and confident with us and around the practice. We got to spend time with Ace, his owners are starting to teach him boundaries and expectations and it is always wonderful to see owners investing in the long term for themselves and their pets - literally “acing it”!….

We had some wonderful cards throughout the festive season and this one struck a real chord. As we carried wine in to the practice this evening ahead of a team dinner tomorrow night there were emergency surgeries still going on, patients in all the wards being cared for, receptionists telling new starters what a difference they have already made to the team, animal care assistants approaching us to ask about the possibility of nursing apprenticeships, vets thanking each other for their team work and nurses being proud of one of our own being published in the . There was “all round terrificness” all around us….

We took some time over the Christmas period; always caring but also recuperating, reappraising, reflecting. We have started the new year with so much opportunity ahead of us.

As ever, we know that we are privileged to walk alongside the people that choose us to help them care for the animals at the heart of their lives. Those relationships touch us too, and we remember them as we go on…….

Another beautiful composition of one of our patients by one of our clients - this feels like Christmas…

We had the pleasure of meeting some of the team from today who came for a business meeting. Ezra the deputy managing director, Beth the sales director and Lewie the IT director came to pitch their &fur dog products to us. The Vet’s Wife immediately bought a luxury pamper & play box for Christmas and after some tough questioning The Vet gave them the green light. This afternoon Lisa our practice manager listed their products and we are an official &fur stockist! - Come and grab some all natural doggy products or a rather festive canine bow tie for your favourite canine friend…..
