Merry Christmas to all our clients and their pets!

We know all our patients have been very good this year so we hope they have lots of presents under the tree! Share photos in the comments!

Our thoughts are also with those who have lost pets over the year, their absence will be felt today and all over the festive season - we hope sharing memories of your much missed friends can help bring you comfort.

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Christmas!

Princess Bunnygum popped in this morning for a check up! She's such a confident little lady and we just love seeing her coming in for a visit!

She would like to wish everyone a very 'Hoppy' Christmas Eve! 🐰🥕

💛 Maggie 💛

Sure we couldn't resist a Golden Retriever pup photoshoot when Maggie came into our Barrow surgery!

Newly joined to the Healthy Pet Club she had her second vaccine and health check, so she'll be raring to go on her Christmas Day walk this week!

Happy Christmas, Maggie!

🩵 Smudge 🩵

Thursdays are fast becoming Cute Cat in The Cattery Day!

Here we can see Smudge giving Student Nurse Sadie a high five after his anaesthetic!

He also tried his best to take over his recovery chart! By the looks of his empty breakfast dish we think he was putting himself down for Second Breakfast AND Elevenses 😻

🧡 Alfie 🧡

Alfie came in to be weighed for his Healthy Pet Club flea and worm products last week.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate those heart-stopping eyes 😍 His feline brother, Chester, is pleased with his new pal but maintains his position as head of the household!

We can't wait to see you again next month, Alfie! ❤️

🦷🪥 Dental Disease 🪥🦷

Does your cat or dog have breath that could knock you for six?

Unlike us, most cats and dogs won't complain, whinge or moan about toothache!
They don't know that it is preventable or treatable so they continue to eat despite rotting teeth, loose teeth and even abscesses!

If your pet's breath is getting a bit hard to bear it's worth getting their teeth looked at!

Prevention is better than cure and unless there is severe periodontal disease present we will more than likely point you in the direction of a VOHC approved product to start getting on top of your pet's dental hygiene!

Don't forget, a Scale and Polish (including a full dental assessment) under General Anaesthetic is only £250 on the Healthy Pet Club!

How do you know you're a golden retriever?

When you're only just out of surgery, the nurse turns her back for a second and you've slithered out of your warm bed and onto the floor living your best lickimat life!

Usually we save the breakfast for a bit later in the recovery process but our Rhody wasn't hanging about!

He gave us all a good laugh, that's for sure!

🎆 New Year Reminder 🎇

Don't forget to give us a call to discuss medication or supplements for New Year and to get a head start on preparing for next year!

Noise phobias can get worse with time so if you've had a rough time this year we're here to help!

🐾🏴‍☠️ Ahoy there, Mateys! 🏴‍☠️🐾

Hopper made very good use of the portholes in his cat-friendly kennel last week when he came in to be neutered. His favourite game was getting his paws through and batting at anyone that walked by - he found this a very effective method of getting extra fuss!

Here he is desperately trying to sniff at his breakfast - we just weren't getting it ready fast enough!

We think you'll agree, Hopper is quite the handsome boy!
