The very handsome 11-year old Harvey recently came in to have a couple of teeth removed. Here he is receiving some pre-procedure kisses, undergoing his treatment and enjoying a tasty nibble afterwards. 10/10 good boy! ❤️

Once a year, our central support team get together with all our Head Vets, Head Nurses and Customer Experience Managers to network, celebrate successes and openly discuss ways we can build upon the wonderful work that already goes on at The Pet Vet to help further improve the care and customer service we deliver.
Our base over the weekend was the Draycote Hotel in Rugby. After an opening talk from our CEO Dr Mel Fuller, we split into smaller groups for some team building tasks.
In the afternoon, we had the pleasure of being joined by inimitable Business Psychologist Sue Firth Ltd who delivered a fantastic talk on building resilience and managing stress, with plenty of interesting takeaways. 📋✔️
Over dinner, we had an awards ceremony where we celebrated the amazing work that goes on across our group. 🏆 We had surgery winners and some colleagues who were highlighted as being shining examples of living and breathing our values:
✨ We care
✨ Can do
✨ Team first
✨ Better every day
And what better way to finish off a productive and interactive day than with some karaoke! 🎤
Pleased to report we'll be sticking to our day jobs...

This week is Guinea Pig Awareness Week!
Whether you're a guinea pig owner or just curious, these pets have some interesting quirks! Here are a few things to know about guinea pigs:
1️⃣ Vocal communicators: Guinea pigs are talkative! From “wheeking” when they’re excited to “purring” when they’re relaxed, they have a range of sounds that show their mood.
2️⃣ Highly social: In the wild, guinea pigs live in groups, so they’re happiest when they have another guinea pig to interact with. Keeping them in pairs is recommended for their wellbeing.
3️⃣ Vitamin C is key: Like humans, guinea pigs can’t produce their own Vitamin C, so it’s essential to include foods like bell peppers, leafy greens, and oranges in their diet to avoid deficiencies.
4️⃣ Long-term companions: With good care, guinea pigs can live from to 5-7 years. They're a longer-term commitment compared to other small pets, so be ready for that responsibility!
5️⃣ Teeth maintenance: Guinea pig teeth grow continuously, so they need plenty of hay and chewable items to keep them filed down and healthy.
Watch below to find out about the 5 welfare needs of guinea pigs, what's normal and abnormal for their teeth, their recommended diet and how to make DIY guinea pig enrichment treats!
