I know my dog loves me, but if I had a squeaker in me, he would gut me like a fish 😆

B E N J I getting ALL the treatos and attention from Ems when he was in to see the vet man Chris recently 🤩

Our team think nothing of getting down on the floor to your pet's level to help make them feel happy and relaxed during their visits.

It's why we've made our waiting area as un-vet like as possible . . . who wants white and clinical when you can have a calming boutique vibe and clients tell you they feel like they're in a hotel lobby.

And let's not even talk about the coffee 🫶🏾

Great job Em! 👌🏽

HALLIE ~ you absolute darling 🩵

How gorgeous does she look 😍

Today's about BARNABY as he heads off to year 2 at Uni 😮

He's helped out on reception over the summer and as always brings his beautiful smile, super efficiency and friendly, fun nature to brighten everyone's day 🤩

Little did he know, on his last shift (Friday), he'd be a car park attendant 😂 as well as a barista, photographer and receptionist.

THANK YOU so much Barnaby from us all and we wish you the best of luck in year 2 - go smash it like the amazing person you are!

COMFORT IS KEY don't you know 🧡

Lovely little OSCAR came to see the vet lady Rosie, because his owner noticed a sore spot on his chest poor lad.

He wasn't letting anything bother him though and made himself right at home whilst chilling and waiting to be seen.

We LOVE that our visitors are so happy to come in and see us 😊

** UP-DATE - we're pleased to say that the car has been moved and we have FULL ACCESS to our car park again. Thank you for your patience and once again we apologise if this caused any of our clients inconvenience **

WE HAVE A PROBLEM . . .

Unfortunately someone with no awareness or thought for anyone but themselves has blocked the entrance to our car park.

This is causing huge problems - we have clients in our car park who cannot get out, as well as clients and their pets visiting us, unable to get to us.

And let's not talk about if we have an emergency!!

Please share this post, so that the person responsible might see this, move their car promptly and feel suitably embarrassed and hopefully be more aware if what's going on around them.

We apologise to our clients for this inconvenience. We are hoping with the help of Weatherspoons next door, with a bit of car shuffling you will be able to get to our car park. It will be quite tight, so please take extra care.

It's not all about the furries here . . . sometimes it's about our feathered friends 🦜

JOEY, Tara's favourite little yellow friend came to have his claws clipped - he's such a social little chap, chirping away and telling us all about it.

DORIS the dove was also with us for some tlc to get her back to good health, before passing her on to a rescue charity. She was found locally by a client of ours.

We've had three doves handed in to us in two weeks - not sure what's going on with the dove community, but we wish them all good health 🤍 💛 🤍

WELCOME to the team and the puppy wall of fame baby NEVILLE 🖤 🤎

This boy is our newest recruit, joining Lydia our ANA's menagerie at home.

He's 12 weeks old and took his first visit, show round and mini photo-shoot all in his stride.

LOVE him 🥰

9 11

23 years since that day of tragedy, chaos and devastation - those of us old enough will remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the news broke.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives and to those affected by the horrific events.

Search and rescue dogs specialise in disaster response skills, where they are trained to search and detect the scent of living humans. In this case, their mission was to find survivors buried in the rubble and around 300 dogs and handler search teams were brought in to help.

Handlers and their dogs worked 12 hours a day, with some working up to 18 hours a day for 1 ½ to 2 weeks. Many injuries were sustained during the search and rescue, so a team of vets were on hand to help care for them with cuts and bruises, exhaustion, inhalation of smoke and chemicals and ensuring they were fit, healthy and hydrated throughout.

We honour you all 🙏🏼

** UP-DATE ** Nellie is safely back home 😺

Thanks for the shares.

HAVE YOU SEEN NELLIE?

One of our client's beautiful cats is MISSING since yesterday (Saturday) morning, before the rain started.

Missing from The Vineries area in Wimborne - she is wearing a collar and is chipped.

She could be hiding from the rain, so please check your garages and sheds etc.

Please share if you can to help get her back home snuggled - thanks so much 🙏🏼

A R T H U R . . . this gorgeous fella's been through a lot 🤎

He's recently had a big op with our Orthopaedic colleague Andy Morris, for elbow dysplasia - these are carried out in-house making it easier and less stressful for owners and their pets.

Arthur's peeps had noticed lameness and he came in to see the vet man Chris who after investigation referred him on to Andy for surgery.

To help get him back fit as a fiddle, he's been recommended losing a bit of weight and hydrotherapy.

📸 here he is during one of his hydro sessions at South Coast Hydrotherapy.

His owners said 'He's a drama queen getting in, but his tail is constantly wagging and he loves his shampoo and set afterwards. We sit poolside and cheer him on.' 😆

Well done Arthur, you're doing brilliantly!

🥳 Our gorgeous KESH is our AUGUST TEAM CHAMPION 🥳
. . as voted for by the rest of the team 🤩

Kesh is described as 'our ray of sunshine that brightens everyone's day'.

We're working in an incredibly busy and sometimes stressful environment - Kesh takes it all in her stride - and it's really important to take time out to say 'thanks' and 'well done' to each other.

really are the best and we can't thank everyone enough.

A special WELL DONE and THANKS to Kesh - a total SUPERSTAR!! 💖

Little ARLO enjoyed his time with us during his Prep for Vet session with Emma 🖤

These sessions are designed to help your pup get used to coming in, in a positive way so they're ready for those all important vet consults.

They get used to the scales, the stethoscope, being touched in areas like the ears, mouth, feet and tummy and lots of positive reinforcement 🤗

These 1:1's are free and any of our new puppies can take advantage of them . . . Arlo's a little superstar and we're very proud of him (well done to Em's too).

30/08/2024

P E G G Y has a bit of a long face because it's taking so long to get into Wimborne at the moment 😏

There's on-going traffic works on Hanham Road (meaning you need to go around the one-way system to get to us), plus Oakley Road at Merley is closed AND NOW Gravel Hill 😵

If you're coming from those directions, please leave plenty of time to get to us (we're suggesting 30 minutes) - yep, that's how long it's taking some clients ... the good news; if you're early, there's more time to enjoy one of our lush coffees ☕️

Peggy is sensible though - she had her booster and health check with the vet lady Kesh and plenty of treatos from Anita.

It's a win win 🧡

27/08/2024

The absolute stunner that is VIN 🤎

Soooo photogenic!

We hope you've had a great long weekend ... back to it today and we're open from 8.30am 🐱 🐶 🐰 🐹 🦄

26/08/2024

It's NATIONAL DOGS DAY . . . celebrating ALL things dog!!!!!!

There's SO many pics we could share of all our doggo visitors, but we especially LOVE this one of Anita giving little ECCLES all the love after his second vaccine. He was such a brave boy.

Share in the LOVE today and show us your dog doing what they love the most 🐶

KIPSTER is chilling, because it's the BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND! 🦩

We're all taking an extended well-deserved break over the long weekend, so unfortunately won't be open on Monday.

If you need to speak to someone urgently for advice, or have an emergency please contact our out of hours provider, VetsNow who are based in Wimborne just a five minute drive from us.

Give them a call on 01202 610851 and they'll do their best to help.

Have a fantastic weekend with your furries, family and friends 🐰 🐹 🐶 🐱 🦄

Have you ever seen a happier chap? 🖤 🤍

We've known WOODY since he was a teeny tiny bundle at 10 weeks old and weighing just 5kgs . . . he's now ten months, 19.3kgs and EXTREMELY handsomes!

We're so proud of the gorgeous boy he's growing up to be, despite being in the typical adolescent age (which can hit at any time between 5-12 months) his owners have a good handle on training and are working on recall - dogs can go a bit 'deaf' at this age 😆 during the rebellious stage.

Other changes in behaviour for dogs during adolescence include:
🐶 lack of focus and short attention span
🐶 becoming overstimulated, stressed and easily over-aroused
🐶 increased fear and frustration
🐶 testing the boundaries and recall going out the window
🐶 changes in sociability - some dogs will become more interested in other dogs and people and some will become less tolerant
🐶 with hormonal changes, dogs may show more interest in other dogs with excessive sniffing
🐶 more extreme reactions to things that didn't previously worry them

We offer adolescence check-ins with our nursing team when all of the above can be discussed, plus neutering and lots more.

Let us know if you'd like to book one in - 📲 01202 119988.

Spot the difference - this is not the same doggo 😆

Yesterday we saw MARTHA (on the left) and then MR DARCY straight after, completely unrelated.

It's funny how some days are like that... we often have days of seeing all the teddy-bear lookalikes, all the frenchies, all the labs and retrievers and then days of seeing the giant breeds 🤗

Not a lot separates these two in weight - what do you think it is and who's the heaviest?

21/08/2024

M A R G O T pawsitively glowing in the sunshine 😝

This lovely lady had a sore paw, so came to see the vet lady Kesh to make it better - we've got ya darling girl 🧡

Starting the week out with gorgeous little CLEO 🧡

She saw Anita for her second vaccine; getting her ready for the big wide world and all the excitement to come.

What perfect eyebrows she has ☺️

A feast of kittens, because it's CATURDAY 😻

You're welcome!

Open today 8.30am - 1.30pm - call us if you need an appointment 📲 01202 119988.

Some days are really tough . . .

We said goodnight to our beautiful TARA who we've got to know so well over the last three years 💔

She was special to all of us and called in every Saturday morning to come say 'Hi', have a well-deserved treato and have her piccy taken for our social media stories.

We miss her already and know that her mum will miss her terribly, having rescued her from France when her owner couldn't look after her due to ill-health.

RIP darling girl and have fun over rainbow-bridge 🌈

Thank you Deborah for the goodies for us to enjoy; we're thinking of you x

J E N N Y 🤍 🖤

This gorgeous girlie visited us for the first time last week . . . she saw the vet lady Lorna for her all over health check and booster.

That face; what an absolute beauty she is.
