✨ Positivity Post Alert! ✨

We have had some lovely things happen at West Mount recently that we'd love to share with our lovely clients and followers 🥰

Firstly we'd love to congratulate Chloe S on passing all her exams and practical examinations and becoming our most recent Registered Veterinary Nurse 💚

Another big congratulations to Gina P, also passing all her exams and practicals and achieving her certificate, becoming a Animal Care and Welfare Assistant 💜

Next up is a massive round of applause to Becky and Celeste on completing the Keighley Sue Ryder 10km charity Run (which was apparently more like a tough mudder experience 😅🏃‍♀️), raising awareness and funds for an amazing charity ❤️

Humphrey Christopher is at it again with his bravery and willingness to help others! Humph and his mummy Ginny completed Happydays UK Big 10 walk last Saturday. Looking rather dashing in his t-shirt 😘

Lastly, we now have a food collection point at our Halifax branch, collecting vital supplies for Happy Days UK charity, which will be used within our community. We welcome all our clients and community to pop in and see our lovely Halifax reception team, and donate any food items into this bin 🧡

We hope you enjoyed seeing a small snapshot of our team being community champions, raising awareness and funds for various charities and generally being awesome people! 🙌

He is a black and white short haired, entire male, no chip or collar.
He was found on Westborough Drive Halifax.
If you think you may be the owner proof of ownership will be required.
He is currently receiving veterinary care for his injuries 💕

The International Society for Feline Medicine (ISFM) is the veterinary division of International Cat Care (www.icatcare.org), a charity dedicated to improving the health and welfare of cats worldwide 🐱

We understand that there are unique difficulties in bringing a cat to a veterinary clinic:
• Cats often do not travel well and feel unsafe away from their home
• They are highly sensitive to new sights, sounds and smells
• Most cats prefer quiet and solitude and are highly susceptible to stress
• Most cats are highly stressed by nearby dogs in a vet clinic
• Cats need to be handled gently and with respect in the clinic.

For further advice give your local vet practice a call ☎️

Have you ever wondered how guide dogs start their lives before they become the faithful friends to the people they support? 🐶

If the dogs aren’t suited to a career as a guide dog, there are alternative career paths available which enable them to change lives in other ways. In this video, Tim Stafford (Director of Canine Affairs), Ian Morris (Head of Operations Projects), Natalie Glew (Buddy Dog Partnership Specialist), Marianne Griffiths (Events Demonstration Team Leader), and volunteer Melanie discuss alternative career opportunities for some of the guide dogs.

Happy receptionist day!
This is our lovely receptionist Gina. Not only is she very caring and compassionate but she arguably has one of the hardest job roles within a vet practice.

Our vet reception staff work tirelessly answering the phones and trying to help with each and every query from staff and clients and always with big smiles on their faces!

Our Registered Veterinary nurses are qualified to assist the vet and monitor your pet under anaesthesia.
We know it can be worrying when your pet needs an anaesthetic, but did you know that registered veterinary nurses are rigorously trained in anaesthetic monitoring?
With an array of monitoring equipment and a vast amount of knowledge, training and experience our veterinary nurses work alongside the veterinary surgeon to ensure that both the surgery and the anaesthetic run smoothly, ensuring your pet is back home with you as soon as possible.
