We all love a day at the seaside with our four-legged friends, but let’s make sure we’re keeping our beaches safe, clean and fun for everyone. 🏖🐶
✅ Pick up after your dog - and dispose of poo bags properly
✅ Be observant of restrictions - not all beaches allow dogs all year round
✅ Keep your dog under control - use a lead in busy areas or near wildlife
✅ Don’t let your dog approach others without checking first - not every dog or person wants to say hello
✅ Watch out for heatstroke - take breaks for shade and fresh water, and stay out of the intense midday sun
✅ Never let your dog drink seawater - small amounts can cause vomiting or diarrhoea and large amounts can have dangerous consequences
Most importantly - have fun and enjoy the sand and surf! We’d love to see your favourite dog beach snaps below 🐾📷⬇️

An unspoken rule of pet ownership: If your pet stretches, you have to say “oooooooh BIG stretch!” out loud every time.
It doesn’t matter where you are or who is around. No exceptions, no excuses. We don’t make the rules, we just lovingly enforce them.🐾✨

Preventing ticks is always better than treating a tick-related illness.
Thankfully, there are lots of effective tick prevention options available, including spot-on treatments, sprays, and long-lasting collars. These can be used alongside or sometimes instead of your pet’s usual parasite control, depending on the product.
Some treatments repel ticks, while others kill them after they attach.
Either way, reducing the time ticks spend on your pet lowers the risk of disease. Even with protection, it’s still a good idea to check your pet for ticks after walks, especially in areas where ticks are more common. If you find one, it’s best to remove it promptly.
Not sure which product is right for your pet? Our vets and nurses are always happy to help you choose the most suitable option.
Tick prevention is fully covered as part of The Healthy Pet Club membership.

On World Chocolate Day, it's sensible to keep in mind that chocolate is poisonous to our canine friends.
Try to keep chocolate out of reach of your dog, but if an accident does happen, these are the symptoms you should keep an eye out for.
The poison itself takes between 4 and 24 hours to cause signs which include:
🍫 Muscle stiffness
🍫 Tremors
🍫 Vomiting
🍫 Heart arrhythmias and fitting
If you notice these symptoms, call your vet immediately.

Some pets love to smother us with wet-nosed (or wet-tongued!) kisses, while others prefer to show us their love from a respectful distance.
Always let your pet decide how they show affection, and respect their boundaries if they’re uncomfortable.
Will you get kisses or hisses this International Kissing Day? ❤

It’s grass seed season! These barbed seeds easily attach to fur and can burrow into the skin, causing pain and infection.
Watch for These Signs:
Ears: Head shaking, scratching, and discomfort may indicate a seed lodged in the ear. These don’t work their way out and may need removal under sedation or anaesthetic.
Eyes: Redness, weeping, pawing, or squinting can signal a seed under the eyelid. Prompt vet attention is needed to prevent damage.
Feet: Lameness, licking, swelling, or oozing between toes could mean a seed has pierced the skin. These can travel up the leg and may cause infections.
Prevention Tips:
Avoid areas with long grass during summer.
Trim coats, especially around feet, ears, and between toes – particularly important for breeds like spaniels.
After walks, check your dog thoroughly and remove any visible seeds.

Did you know? Human sun cream is toxic to our pets.
Don’t worry though, pet safe sun cream is available to protect your pets from sunburn.
We would recommend applying pet safe sun cream to any parts of your pet that has pink skin showing on sunny days if they spend time outside - white or black and white cats with white ears are a prime example!
Unprotected continued exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer.

Our Story

Welcome to Acorn Veterinary Centre!

The practice was established in a small shop in May 1989 at the High Street, Studley. Originally we had one vet, Dr Peter Haseler, and one student nurse/receptionist. Very quickly the practice out grew the small premises and in February 1992 it moved to 21 Station Road, Studley. Our Practice has been gradually expanded with new facilities being introduced including digital X-ray equipment, large quantities of lab equipment and cardiac monitoring facilities. We also became a nurse training centre with Dr Chris Haseler as an assessor. In 1994 Dr Peter Haseler started to specialise in dentistry and now takes referrals on a regular occasion. Dr Chris Haseler became interested in acupuncture in 1996 and uses this alternative medicine regularly alongside conventional medicine. Our dedicated and experienced team of Veterinary Surgeons, Registered Nurses and Admin staff are all incredibly passionate about our work, our clients and our Practice.
