🎆 🔥 Bonfire night 🔥🎆

Fireworks can be a highly stressful night for you and your pets. Some tips to help with this are:

✨ Make sure you take your dog for a walk before it gets dark and ensure cats are inside.
✨Guinea pigs and rabbits in hutches outside will benefit from being moved inside overnight if you are able to
✨ Close the curtains
✨ Classic FM have a ‘Pet Classic’ programme tonight from 5pm until 9pm. This can help massively in calming your pet and distracting them from other loud noises.
✨ Games with treats and favourite toys can be beneficial as well as lickimats and snuffle mats.
✨ Adaptil plug ins and pet calming sprays
✨ Calming medication can be prescribed if needed.

If you are worried about how your pets will cope with tonight, please do give us a call.

Unfortunately we have had a deceased cat brought in to the practice.

He was found from the main road towards Teasdale motorcycles.

He is not microchipped unfortunately so we cannot contact his owners.
He is male entire, black and white.
Please contact us if you think this is your pet.

Thank you to the lovely, caring people who brought him in to us.

🌟 Exciting News for Our Clients! 🌟

We're happy to announce that we'll now be offering Skeldale Veterinary Hospital Medivet as one of our out of hours provisions from the 1st November.

We hope that this will benefit our clients who find it challenging to travel outside of Thirsk when we’re closed and means quicker access to care and greater convenience throughout the night. Your furry friends will receive the attention they need, right when they need it.
Thank you for your continued trust in us!

In case of an emergency out of hours, please call us and you will be given the options to be transferred. For those that would prefer to use Swift Referrals in Wetherby and Vets Now in Stockton this will still be available.

Meet the Team!

Jenny, Receptionist

I moved to Thirsk at the end of 2023 and was delighted to find my ideal role at Thirsk Veterinary Centre.

I am passionate about animal welfare and thoroughly enjoy spending my days meeting your pets!

I previously worked in Administration for a law firm, since the opening of the Leeds office in 2008.

My husband Dave and I have a rescue Labrador x Golden Retriever Ben, an unexpected adoption following a visit to a dog sanctuary in Croatia.
I have had many other rescue animals, including cats, dogs, horses and even a wallaby!
We enjoy glamping and hiking around North Yorkshire and love to travel further afield as often as possible. I also enjoy experimenting with vegan cooking.

Meet the Team!

Cathy, Receptionist and insurance Guru!

I have worked in Veterinary Practice since 1996. I started at a mixed practice in Thirsk where I was initially employed within a nursing role. However, following a back injury I found myself on reception which I soon discovered I loved.

I followed this with a move to another local mixed practice where I worked for almost four years and was fortunate enough to gain a lot of invaluable experience.

I am really happy to be returning to Thirsk and welcoming some old friends and new ones too.

I live on a farm at the foot of the North York Moors National Park with my husband Jonathan and our two children Anna and Tom. As well as the farm animals we share our home with a laid-back Labrador called Paddington, a crazy Spaniel called Snoopdog, five hens and a retired racehorse.

In my free time I love cycling and dog walking, reading and socialising with friends.

Meet the Team!

Sue, Office Manager and receptionist

I have been office manager and head receptionist since the practice opened.

My previous career had been in various admin roles as well as running my own Delicatessen shop, selling over 50 different cheeses, with an added bonus of having a wine cellar!
I have to say none of my roles prepared me for the rollercoaster that is working in a busy veterinary practice.

I live close to Stokesley with 2 dogs, Princess Lily and Crazy Daisy, as well as 3 rescue cats. Gorgeous George, The Boss Pip and Nellie our little gray elephant along with my husband Lawrence.

Liz, Animal Care Assistant

I started my working life in the NHS as an audiologist before migrating into the veterinary world.

For 25 years I have worked in mixed practice and have now been fortunate enough to be offered a role at Thirsk Veterinary Centre, a fiercely independent and principled practice.

Outside of work is spent with family, friends and Staffordshire bull terrier Jimmy. Horse racing is my main interest, I’m enthusiastic but not particularly successful!

Meet the Team!

Nikki, Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified from the University of Edinburgh in 2015 and initially started in mixed practice in Northallerton. I stayed in mixed practice for the first 8 years of my career in and around North Yorkshire but after completing my advanced practitioner certificate in farm animal production in 2019 I developed a keen interest in small animal soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery so completed my post graduate certificate in small animal surgery in 2023.

I also have a keen interest in reproduction, nutrition and sporting dog medicine as in my spare time I can be found out and about around the UK training or racing my Siberian husky and Canadian Eskimo dog teams or at flyball with my labrador.

Meet the Team!

Sam, Veterinary Care Assistant

Prior to joining the team in 2023, I had worked in the animal industry for over 16years and have been lucky enough to work with a wide range of animals from cats and dogs to snakes, lemurs and otters.

In 2018 I completed my degree in Zoo Management with Conservation and also trained as a Marine Mammal Medic.
I am looking forward to starting my nurse training at Thirsk vets and can’t wait to get stuck in!

At home I am kept busy with two young children, as well as our big Dogue de Bordeaux Reggie, Ragdolls Jammy and Bakewell and a handful of tarantulas!

Spot the crystals!
Crumble the Labrador was brought in because he was struggling to urinate.
We tested his urine and using the microscope, it was evident he was affected by Struvite Crystals.
We performed an ultrasound scan where we looked for bladder stones and passed a urinary catheter to flush through and ensure there wasn’t any obstructions.
Thankfully, there were no stones present and Crumble is now receiving treatement for the crystals.

Today we are celebrating Jimmy’s birthday at the practice!
This amazing cake was made by one of our gorgeous clients and we can’t thank her enough!
Happy Birthday Jimmy, from all of us!

Knowing the signs of heatstroke and how to prevent it in this weather is so important for our pets.
Key points are:
☀️ DO NOT walk your dog in the day during the heatwave, first thing in the morning or last thing at night is best
☀️ DO NOT leave your dog in the car
☀️ DO provide shade, plenty of water and cooling aids
☀️DO keep an eye on your cats, they do normally find their own shade but make sure you provide plenty of water
One missed walk won’t harm your dog. Don’t take the risk! 🐶🐱

Last week we had a fawn brought in to us by a member of the public, found cold and lifeless on a footpath.

Our team got to work straight away and managed to warm him up, administer fluids and glucose and within a few hours he was sat up and suckling milk. He has now been taken in by Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary to continue his rehabilitation, along with another orphaned fawn.

A great team effort all around 🦌
