You may never have seen behind the consultation room in a veterinary practice.

So take a look at the work our vets and nurses do on the front line every day to look after animals in veterinary practices, hospitals, in the field and on call - so that they receive the best possible care.

Thanks to Molly Case for the poem you have written about our profession.

It’s that time of year again, . 🧨

Fireworks are extremely stressful for rabbits, so please take care to ease their stress as much as possible.

🎆 Bring outdoor rabbits inside into an unheated room.

🎆 If not possible, cover enclosures with blankets or duvets.

🎆 For indoor rabbits, soundproof your home by closing windows and doors and leave a radio or TV on to mask the noise.

🎆 Ensure your buns have plenty of hiding places where they can feel safe.

🎆 Lastly, having a rabbit companion will help keep rabbits calm - another reason why you should always have more than one bun.

Tomorrow we are sadly saying goodbye to our fabulous receptionist, Gabby, after spending many years working here at Drayton. Gabby has become a very familiar face around the practice with so many of our clients and she is a valued member of our team. We can all agree that the practice will just not be the same without her. So we would like to say the biggest THANK YOU to Gabby for her hard work, compassion, empathy and overall craziness she has given during her time here. We are all going to really miss her but would like to congratulate her advancement in her career, and good luck in her future!

Increasingly popular at celebrations, fireworks can be very traumatic for our pets.
For some pets the loud sudden noises, bright colours and flashing lights are scary but the fear is eased with some home remedies. For other pets the fear of fireworks is a sign of true noise phobia.
Check out our top tips below on how to keep your pet safe and calm on fireworks night.

The increase in pet ownership, in particular kittens, has resulted in temporary cat vaccine supply-demand imbalance across the UK and Europe. Vaccine manufacturers are working hard to replenish stocks at suppliers.

The good news is that we have secured an allocation of vaccines and, with the stock we already have, we will be able to continue to vaccinate a large number of cats.

We are working hard to manage this situation and taking appropriate steps to ensure we balance demand with supply. We will update you as we receive further information. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding which is greatly appreciated.
