Coming to the vets is exhausting 🤣
Charlie came in today to visit our vet Chloe for his monthly librela injection. He spent most of his visit upside down or cuddled up with the team on our reception desk. What a lovely boy 🥰

French and Jupps will be doing some work on the weigh bridge and road near the front of the practice.
Parking on Friday is in the car park at the back or over the bridge but you will have to walk round to the practice via the front of the building( we hope that makes sense!).
On Saturday parking will be limited to round the back or the millers car park which is barrier entranced. If you call we can give you the code to park here.
Access from the weigh bridge area will be closed.
This work will be on Friday and Saturday and we can only apologise for any inconvenience .

Did you know the laws around cat microchipping are changing?
From 10th June 2024 the new law will be in place that all cats must be microchipped.
Not only will it be law but it will be safer for your cats who can easily be reunited . Please call to book your appointments in with us.

Good Morning

We are seeing so many grass seed cases on a daily basis. These can cause a lot of discomfort for your pets. Most cases need sedation for removal and a day visit with us.
Please please check your fur babies after every walk.
