Apologies for the traffic lights in Pembury today - that was us😬
Thanks to those of you who visited the clinic today for your understanding in the slightly noisier environment than we would have liked to work in.
Exciting news, however... the foundations for our new clinical unit are in!!

CAT VACCINES
Due to a national vaccine shortage, we will be prioritising unvaccinated kittens and cats needing their first annual booster. Adult cats who have received their vaccine regularly in previous years are considered to be at lower risk. Please call the clinic (01892 546000 Southborough or 01892 487174 Pembury) for more information. Thank you for your understanding.

We are delighted to welcome Oli, who joined us last week to help us out over the summer months.
Oli graduated from Cambridge vet school in 2017 and has worked in mixed animal and large animal practice since then. After her last job she took a few months off to travel and volunteer with street dogs in Latin America. Oli is very interested in sustainability, especially within veterinary medicine and agriculture. Outside of work she loves singing, reading and travelling.

The trees are blossoming, the flowers are blooming, and bulbs are budding! 🌸🌱🌼

This can only mean one thing: it’s gardening season! 🧑‍🌾

But what does this mean for our curious garden grazing companions? 🐰🌿

Some plants are poisonous to rabbits, and every rabbit owner should be cautious of any new plants sprouting where little mouths can reach.

Check out our webpage for an extensive list of plants that are poisonous to rabbits: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/poisonous-plants/

You can find even more advice in our exclusive books, written by Twigs Way, which are all available in our shop: https://shop.rabbitwelfare.co.uk/product-category/advice-booklets-leaflets/books/ Foraging For Rabbits, Gardening With Rabbits and Growing and Feeding Vegetables and Fruit for Rabbits each lists safe and unsafe plants.

Thank you for all that you do - for being the welcoming faces of the clinic, the ever-efficient call handlers, and the endless multi-taskers dealing with situations as they arise. There's certainly never a dull moment working as a veterinary receptionist!
