Thrilled to announce we’ve been certified as a Gold Level Cat Friendly Clinic by the International Society of Feline Medicine 🥇 This means we are officially cat advocates! No cat likes coming to the vets but we’re doing our best to keep their stress levels to a minimum and keep our feline friends in top condition 🐈‍⬛

MEET THE TEAM MONDAY: Claire Rees Head RVN

Claire joins us as head nurse at TVP, bringing with her over 15 years of experience within the veterinary industry. She qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2013 and has since achieved additional qualifications in emergency and critical care and clinical coaching. In 2016, she pursued a lifelong dream of backpacking around Australia where she also gained valuable experience working as a locum veterinary nurse with the animals down-under.

Claire is another feline advocate with a soft spot for Jack Russells (having always grown up with them). She thrives on building strong bonds with both pets and their owners, providing compassionate and expert care. With an interest in training and development, Claire is committed to empowering the nursing team at Tattenhall Vets, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment to deliver excellent standards of veterinary care.

Claire shares her homelife with her husband Tom and their talented rescue cat, Martha. With a little encouragement (and a Dreamie treat), Claire has taught Martha to sit, give high-fives and jump through arms!
When not cat training, Claire enjoys keeping fit by hiking, running and bouldering but she’s also equally happy under a blanket with a cup of tea and a sudoku.

Day 7: Imaging

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is our diagnostic imaging room which is fully fitted out with our digital x-ray and ultrasound scanner. Diagnostic imaging allows us to gain a better understanding of what’s going on inside your pet’s body. Our x-ray can help us to diagnose orthopaedic problems such as fractured bones and osteoarthritis as well as taking a look at internal organs such as the gastrointestinal and cardiorespiratory systems. Alongside this our ultrasound allows us to see moving images of the soft tissues and is often a quicker and easier way of imaging as most animals will not need to be sedated. Used together they give us a powerful picture of what could be causing your pet to be unwell. All of our images are digital and so we can normally show you them when your pet is discharged.

Day 6: Dog Ward

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is our dog ward which includes 7 spacious kennels for our canine friends. Our kennels have been specially designed to be a higher height than most, allowing most breeds to be able to stand up properly. The ward also has an internal window so we can keep a really close eye on them whilst they’re asleep. Fully stocked with a range of diets… and plenty of gravy bones… all our dogs seem relaxed and content so far.

Day 5: Consultation Rooms

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Okay, so today isn’t technically behind the scenes but we’re very proud of our welcoming consultation rooms being the first port of call for all our patients. These rooms are where you’ll first meet your vet or nurse and your pets initial examination will take place. This may include a check of their ears, eyes or their vaccination appointments. Our fold up tables mean we can adapt our space easily for all animals, from the biggest dogs to the smallest hamsters, and our cosy nurses room has a softer finish for those quieter moments. 🐾

Day 4: Dental Suite

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is our dental suite. Dental hygiene is so important to our pets - it keeps them eating, it helps to prevent systemic diseases such as heart and kidney disease and it makes our lives more pleasant when it comes to cuddles on the sofa! We perform all our dental procedures under anaesthetic in an our dedicated room to stop bacteria from the mouth spreading to other animals and to make sure we have all our equipment at hand. Our dental X-ray machine means we can check exactly which teeth need to be removed and identify hidden problems like abscesses which can cause discomfort. All our dentals are priced as packages… meaning there’s no nasty surprises when it comes to the bill at the end 🦷

Day 3: Cat Ward

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is our cat ward which is located in a quieter part of the practice. Cats like their space and notoriously aren’t keen on the vets… so keeping them on their own in their luxury glass-fronted kennels means they’ve got space to relax and maintain their normal behaviours. This is a key part of our bid to become a cat friendly clinic. Along with our quiet cat corner of the waiting room and cat friendly techniques we can help to keep our feline patients calm and stress-free. Don’t forget to grab one of our Feliway scented blankets whilst you wait.🐈‍⬛

Day 2: Operating Theatre

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is theatre, our designated space for sterile procedures under general anaesthesia. This is where we perform all our operations from routine neutering through to emergency surgeries. Behind our amazing glass doors is a clean space with our operating table, piped oxygen and anaesthetic gases and specialist monitoring unit - ensuring all our patients are kept safe and stable throughout. In the future we’ll hopefully be joined by some travelling specialist surgeons who can perform orthopaedic and advanced soft tissue procedures in the practice so your pets don’t have to leave the village!

Day 1: Prep Room

This week we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at our brand new facilities, one room at a time. Today is prep… the hub of the practice. Here we would get animals ready for anaesthetics, undertake minor procedures such as blood tests and ultrasound scans as well as it incorporating our laboratory. Having a full suite of lab machines means we can run almost all blood samples in-house, meaning we’ll get your results quicker. This is also where the whole team work most of the day, meaning it’s normally where the tea round gets delivered to!

Perdie came in for her dental with Amy last week to remove a fractured tooth. She enjoyed our new cat ward away from the barking dogs and recovered so well from her procedure 🐈‍⬛
