PROFESSIONAL CARE WITH MODERN FACILITIES AND EXPERTISE
Alnorthumbria Vets is a mixed practice that treats all species of domestic animals (and a few wild ones as well). Within the practice, the vets have developed special interests, so we have separate teams of vets dedicated to the care of farm animals, horses and small animals (dogs, cats and other small pets). We have nine centres across North
umberland, from Wooler in the north to Ponteland in the south. We pride ourselves on offering a genuine 24 hour service, and on professional and individual care backed up by a wealth of experience and expertise. On the small animal side, Alnorthumbria provides comprehensive health care for dogs, cats and other small animals throughout Northumberland. The professional care and expertise of our dedicated veterinary surgeons, nurses and support staff are key to the success of the practice, but another factor is undoubtedly the investment in modern facilities and equipment. We aim to provide the best possible care and treatment for all our patients, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The practice is committed to a pro-active approach to animal health care, rather than just reacting when illness or injury strikes. Key elements of our routine preventative healthcare are vaccination (to prevent potentially fatal infections), regular treatment for internal and external parasites, neutering (to prevent gynaecological problems and reduce the incidence of certain tumours) and dental care. We are committed to ongoing investment in the training and development of our vets, nurses and support staff. The vets in the practice are supported by veterinary nurses, and the practice has been approved by the Royal College as a Veterinary Nurse Training Practice. The nurses complement the work of the vets, and also offer free advice on a range of preventative health and nutritional issues.
**We operate a service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year**
Staffed by our own experienced vets on a rota basis, five vets are available, covering all the surgeries. In the case of an emergency please contact your nearest surgery.

Say hello Ronnie!
Ronnie visited our Ponteland branch for a scale and polish dental procedure with our RVN Kayeligh
How amazing are the before and after photos!
Scale and polishes help to remove build up and minimise gingivitis in our pets mouths. This can help to prevent periodontal disease, minimising pain, infection and loss of teeth!
If you think your pet needs dental attention, contact your branch!

Meet Lola!
This 4 month old little lady got into a little bother recently. Her owner found her gagging and retching!
Once sedated, we discovered a small square of plastic hiding over her soft palate in her mouth!
After a smooth procedure and recovery Lola is back to her usual self, but fingers crossed less mischief!

As we arrive at the last day of Nurse Awareness month we wanted to recognise the hard work that our nursing teams contribute to the practice not just during May but every day of the year.
The teams consist of Patient care assistants â they help look after the animals after operations / ensure they have been walked fed and toileted before going home. They hold our wriggly friends whilst the vets adhere treatment and keep all our hygiene standards maintained.
We have our Trainee Nurses â they have usually spent a year as a PCA â they then do 2 years of training at college studying the theory whilst working in Practice learning the practical such as monitoring anaesthetics.
We have a team of qualified RVNâs at each site who once they have passed their OSCE exams can then consult themselves âdo further training to enable them to train our students or even to do schedule 3 training which enables them to do some basic surgery such as lump removal or closing operations for the vets.
Most importantly our lovely nurses are the ones who spend the time cuddling, reassuring and looking after your pets whilst they are with us. They are natural animal lovers and no task is too big or small when it comes to delivering the best possible care.
We thank you for all you do â we could not provide the service we do without your continued dedication.

Tick bite prevention week! Be tick aware! With the warming weather, make sure youâre regularly checking your pets for these little critters đȘł especially when walking through woodlands, tall grasses, bushes and leafy areas! They can be quite small and look like little skin tags Ticks can transmit disease such as Lyme Disease so it is important to protect your pets (and yourself!) Regularly using a flea and tick preventative can help keep your pets pest free!
âOde to Vets and Nursesâ 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 frontline 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 #careforanimals #veterinaryprofession
Feel Good Friday đŠ Part One Introducing Freddie, a very handsome runner duck who was seen by Vet Daisy at our Alnwick Branch recently after his over-amorous behaviour left him with some damage down under! Conservative management was attempted but was unsuccessful meaning Freddie had to go under the knife⊠Vet Jodie carried out the delicate procedure to remove the damaged and dying tissue, with nurse Emma D monitoring Freddie throughout his anaesthetic. An implant was also placed with the aim of reducing Freddieâs testosterone levels for the future. Absolutely Quakers! More in part twoâŠ
It can be worrying for you if your pet develops a lifelong illness or has an accident. Paying for the care they need often stacks up. Don't leave it until it's too late.....get your pet covered in minutes at mipetcover.co.uk
Look what we found today! This video was taken through the lens of our microscope. We took a swab from a dogâs ear to find out why it was itchy and found this little critter. We often do in house cytology to work out what is going on in your dogs ear. We can see bacteria, yeast and in this case ear mites! By doing this in house we can quickly work out what is best to treat your dogs ear with.
HARVEST MITES. Itâs the most wonderful time of year⊠we are seeing outbreaks of harvest mites in both cats and dogs! These mites, also known as Berry Bugs, get picked up by our pets from the environment, particularly areas with dense vegetation. They are often found between toes but can also be found on petsâ bellies, ears or lower legs. This video was taken down the microscope yesterday, when one of our vets found the mites on a patient. They can cause itching and irritation to our pets when they latch on. Thankfully they are relatively easily treated with prescription strength flea treatment. So keep an eye on your petsâ paws and toes for these pesky little mites!

Can you help support our Charity of The Year StreetVet? At this time of year, dog coats are one of the most in demand items that the teams hand out to homeless pet owners. If you would like to purchase a dog coat for one of their patients, please take a look at the Amazon WishList for your nearest city and purchase what you can. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/244PRA80HDFVJ Dogs like Gypsy will be forever thankful for your kindness!
Hereâs our Charity of the Year, StreetVetâs regular London patient (and a bit of a celebrity!) Bailey. They caught this adorable video of him playing with his new squeaky toy at their Hackney outreach recently. A big thank you to everyone that has supported StreetVet and bought dog toys from their Amazon Wishlists across, up and down the UK. And on behalf of the four-legged, waggy tailed recipients, Bailey says thank you too!
