City Road Veterinary Centre

City Road Veterinary Centre We are dedicated to providing outstanding and compassionate care; strengthening the bond between our team, the pets, and their people.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE

We now run all our clinics by appointment. Please call to book in; however if it's an emergency we will see you at any time during our opening hours. We are happy to make home visits if you are unable to come to the practice or if your pet is too unwell to travel. However, please bear in mind that all the equipment and resources are based at the practice and we would prefer you

to bring your pet to us if at all possible to enable us to provide the optimum treatment. After Hours
In the event of an emergency when the clinic is shut, please phone our telephone number 01872 273959. Here your call will be diverted to CVETs emergency clinic in Penstraze, Truro. CVETs is a dedicated out of hours clinic manned by a team that specialise in emergency care. If your pet needs to stay overnight, CVETs will arrange for him to be transported back to City Road the next day for continued hospitalisation and care.

🧳 TRAVELLING WITH CATS 🧳

This is Ben, and despite his resting Persian face, Ben rather enjoys being in his cat carrier.

We're sure we don't need to tell you that cats aren't very fond of travelling. However, we do have some advice on how to make it a more positive and smooth experience for your cat.

🎒 The Carrier:
• Cats should never travel loose in the car or in your arms. When visiting the vets, please do not carry your cat inside, open your cat box, or bring your cats on a harness and lead. There are dogs around, and we don't want any spooked run away kitties or frustrated pooches!
• Choose an easy to clean material such as plastic. It should be robust and not too small or too big. Top opening baskets also make it easier to load and unload your cat.
• Cats should not be placed in a cage together. Even the best of friends can become stressed, uncharacteristic, and unpredictable.
• Line your cat's box with newspaper and a towel or blanket that smells like home. A towel or blanket should also be used to cover the box when travelling.

🐈 Loading Your Cat:
• Encourage your cat to eat or sleep in their travel box, so it does not only appear when they are travelling somewhere. You may also want to introduce the carrier a day or two before the appointment, if possible, if it's not around all the time.
• Use bedding that smells like home or spray a pheromone spray into the box thirty minutes before use.
• If your cat panics, wrap them in a thick blanket and place them in the carrier with the blanket.

💙👏 VETERINARY RECEPTIONIST APPRECIATION DAY 👏💙

Today is a chance to celebrate and champion all of our wonderful veterinary receptionists and the endless amounts of hard work they put into looking after our staff, our practice, and most importantly, your pets!

We love our City Road reception team and couldn't manage as a practice without them!

These smiling faces are Sue, Jo, and Alex, but we also want to give thanks to Steph, Amy, and Nikki, who are also part of our fab team of receptionists!

🐈‍⬛ STRAY CAT 🐈‍⬛

Does anyone recognise this handsome chap? He's an entire male ginger and white cat approximately two years old. He does have a microchip and a blue collar on, but we can't get in touch with his owner.

If anyone has any information, please give us a call on 01872 273969.

Thank you.

🚘 CAR PARK REMINDER 🚘

We would like to remind our clients that although there is parking available at the bottom of our drive, please take into consideration the length of your vehicle before parking.

We have been having quite a few cars parked in our bottom car park that are too long, thus blocking the pavement. We have also been informed that a member of the public has witnessed a wheelchair user having to go out into the busy road in order to get around a car that's too long.

As pictured, please can our clients only use the bottom car park if their car does not block pavement access. Otherwise, we will be asking you to move your vehicle when you arrive at your appointment.

We appreciate that at busy times, our top car park can get quite crowded. However, we do need to allow public access to the pavement below.

Thank you.

This handsome duo of Tibetan Terriers are Rufus and Archie.

They visited us this week for a descale and polish of their teeth!

Both were very good boys for their visit and enjoyed cuddling up together in recovery!

👋 WELCOME 👋

This handsome chap is Ammi the Akita cross.

Ammi visited us last week for his first City Road appointment to see Christian for a full health check.

Ammi was an RSPCA rescue and found his new home here in Cornwall after roaming the streets of London.

He was a superstar and enjoyed lots of fuss and treats!

Well done Ammi 💙

⭐️ Milly’s patient of the month ⭐️

Barney 🦮🐾

Brilliant Barney came in to see us last week because he’d broken a claw. He was such a brave boy and loved getting kisses from our team whilst we bandaged his foot up.

We look forward to seeing Barney again soon for more cuddles! 💛🐾

Beautiful Bella visited us Monday for a dental descale and polish.

She was super brave throughout her whole stay and even enjoyed a little wonder around the practice and warm snuggle with our Chelsea.

Well done Bella! 🥰
