Did you know that the safest way to dispose of your pet’s unused/out-of-date flea and worm treatments and veterinary medicines is to return them to your veterinary surgery?
Always replace the lid securely before putting in to normal household waste. This prevents any trace of the product left inside the pipette from seeping out, which could be harmful to the environment.
For more information on safe disposal of used, unused or out-of-date flea and worm treatments and medicines, visit our website https://ayresveterinaryhospital.co.uk/safe-disposal-of-your-pets-unused-medicines/

Please accept our apologies but our North Shields branch will be shut from 10.30am-12.30pm tomorrow the 24th January 2023, this is due to our staff saying goodbye to a dear colleague Helen Smith.
You may have known Helen from our Cramlington branch and also the North Shields Hospital on a weekend. Her smile was infectious and we are deeply saddened to loose such a special friend. Our thoughts and condolences go her family and friends.
Here we have the beautiful Angelo who came in for a Tear Duct Flush. He belongs to our amazing Patient Care Assistant Emma, who of course knew he was in safe hands! He got so many cuddles throughout his stay and is now all snuggled up at home back to causing mischief.
Happy New Year everybody!
We wish you all a happy and healthy 2023, and lets have a pawsome time!
Merry Christmas from Ayres!
We hope you all have a lovely day with your family and furry friends.

Fizz, pop, bang! Fireworks season is almost upon us and for our pets it can be a worrying and scary time.
A good way to help children to understand that your pet may not be acting themselves, is explaining that animals may find fireworks scary and might need some quiet time when they’re feeling this way. As a family, you could even try and build a cosy den together for your pets to feel safer in!
