😁😁Today marks the start of NATIONAL SMILE MONTH!😁😁
We'd love to see pictures of you and your pets making the most of smile month, because lets be honest they don't half make us smile! 😁
Smiling releases happy hormones such as dopamine, serotonin and endorphins helping to relieve stress and pain. 😁

❤️Today is National Receptionists Day or what we like to call National Receptionist Appreciation Day!!!❤️
There's no such thing as just a receptionist, they are a vital part of our team, and team work makes the dream work😉
I'm sure you all know Karen's welcoming voice on the end of the line, always here to help and will always bend over backwards for clients! Alternatively known by most dogs as the biscuit lady😂
Hopefully by now you will also start to recognise the new voice of Erin, she's settled into the team fantastically and also helps our nursing team!
Between them they help make the practice run smoothly and never fail to make us all laugh!!
WE APPRICIATE YOU AND THANK YOU!

Do you need to brush your dog's teeth?
The simple answer is YES!

Can you tell Roo loves getting her teeth brushed🦷😍 look at those pearly whites🦷

It’s important to look after your dog's teeth. Dental disease is one of the most common health problems experienced by dogs and can result in significant pain from sore teeth and gums.

Daily teeth brushing can help prevent the build-up of plaque and tartar which can lead to gingivitis and dental disease.

If you’d like help or advice with dental care call the practice and book an appointment with one of our lovely nurses 👍
