Happy Wednesday!

Let’s Talk : Laser Therapy

What Is Laser Therapy?
K-Laser therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of laser light that pe*****te the tissue, increasing oxygen supply to the affected area. This process stimulates your pet’s cells, promoting faster healing. Additionally, the treatment alters nerve cell activity, leading to a reduced perception of pain. In some cases, it may even eliminate the need for medication.

How Can It Help My Pet?
K-Laser Therapy can effectively relieve your pet’s pain, reduce swelling, and enhance their range of movement. Key conditions that benefit from laser therapy include:
Wound healing
Osteoarthritis and joint pain
Hip dysplasia
Burns
Post-surgical pain
Soft tissue injuries
Westie lung

What Are the Advantages?
No anesthesia required
Pain-free procedure
Accelerated healing process
How Can My Pet Receive Laser Treatment?
It’s easy! Simply contact one of our branches in Worthing or Goring, and our reception team will assist you in scheduling an appointment.

If your pet has already benefited from our Laser Therapy, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to leave a review and share a picture or your story in the comments. There’s nothing better than a happy owner with a happy pet!

🦎Not all our patients bark or purr, some express how they feel through facial expressions.
Let have a look at Penelope here, who is waiting patiently yet eager to be in the spotlight.

Once under the shiny lights, she waited gracefully giving us a chance to take a perfect X-ray.
Penelope, born to be a star ⭐️

We are lucky to have four vets that are passionate about exotic animals and, although they are not officially specialists, they use their determination to help everyone who ask for help 🦎🐭🐦

Happy National Christmas Jumper Day! From your Worthing Medivet team 🎄❄️🤶🏻

16/07/2023

It’s time for us to say thank you. These are some of the Thank You cards we have been kindly given. Jeremy has been at the practice for over 33 years ( unbelievable as it seems, special shout out to Angela and Sue who have actually been here longer!) and Fi over 10 years. We have had the most amazing journey and will find it really hard to leave. There are a variety of reasons why we are moving; we will be closer to Fi’s parents, and may at our new practice be able to fulfil Jeremy’s long held ambition of building a purpose built surgery, something that we attempted in Worthing but were not able to gain planning permission for the plot of land we had a bill of sale for. Leaving such a dedicated and able team has not been easy, but we have managed to find Marc, a very capable and kind vet who we trust to follow in our foot steps. We are now into our final week and couldn’t go without saying how blessed we have felt working with such great colleagues, working with you -such amazing clients and of course your incredible pets. We are going to miss you all so much ………Thank you !

Its hard to believe the last Movember I did was 10 years ago-there's a photo now & then (& No the moustache doesn't look any better & its just as hard to drink cappuccinos!) The reason 10 years ago was one of my friends I qualified with at Glasgow had just lost his life to prostate cancer. Martin Weaver https://www.ecvdi.org/in-memoriam/dr-martin-weaver a kinder & immensely capable vet you couldn't find. So now 10 years on I am happy to look awful to raise that awareness for men.......Martin was only in his early fifties. So apologies to clients that have noticed & engaged in the conversation, the team at Heene Road Vets, & friends & family that have put up with it. But it has been worth it to start the conversation, but I will be super glad to lose it on Wednesday ! https://uk.movember.com/get-involved/moustaches

Puss of the Week - w/c October 31st
SOPHIE is one of our Golden Oldies and is now 12-years-old. Sadly, her previous owner died and her next adopter's household was too lively for her. Sophie is sweet, but independent by nature. She now needs a quiet home - without other cats - that is well away from traffic. For further details - and for those of other cats who are ready for adoption - please contact [email protected]

3 days post Lap Spey

This is Tawny(Jeremy and Fiona’s Ridgeback ) who had her Lap Spey on Tuesday. As you can see its an amazingly swift recovery ! Did you know that recent evidence shows that with larger breed dogs they should be fully grown when they are neutered as it shows it may delay the on set of osteoarthritis - so Tawny had one season. Smaller dogs we still neuter before their first season. Any queries on lap Speys or when to neuter your dog don’t hesitate to call the surgery or see our website www.heeneroadvets.co.uk

Play Time

This is Buster and Bruiser (Kerry our receptionist's dog) playing in the snow in Portslade! What did your pets think of the snow this morning ?

The coolest dogs

On sunday evening Jeremy was the official vet on the water at Hove to attempt the Guiness Book of Records attempt at the most dogs to complete 10 meters on a paddle board-not quite sure yet if it's been achieved. Just wondered if anyone else goes paddle boarding with their dogs ? It even made the BBC news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-sussex-44771364/hove-festival-hosts-doggy-paddle-world-record-attempt?SThisFB

Beautiful Sadie

This is Beautiful Sadie in to see us this morning..........................or not so beautiful as her mum discovered as we removed over 15 ticks! Click to see them if you dare! We have seen a huge increase in ticks during this hot weather-call us to get your preventative treatment. (I won't show you the ones that ran off the table & I squashed......bit of a mess for our nurse to clean up-sorry Sam!

Beautiful Sadie

This is the beautiful Sadie who came to see us this morning-or as her mum discovered not quite so beautiful as we removed over 15 ticks from her-click to play if you dare ! Luckily we sent Sadie home with treatment so that they won't bother her (& her owner) any more! We have seen a huge increase in tick numbers in the last few weeks so please contact us to get your treatrment for your pet. Unfortunnatly a few of the ticks ran off the table & were trodden under foot...bit of a mess for the nurse to clear up-Sorry Sam !

FEAR FREE For your Pets at Heene Road Vets

This is Logan-he just loves coming to see us, but did you know 51% of pets are fearful of going to see their vet. Jeremy & Melanie were lucky enough to be one of the few veterinary practices in the UK to see an all day presentation on Fear Free which has become one of the fastest growing initiatives in the history of companion animal practice in North America, providing unparalleled reduction of fear, anxiety and stress in pets (fearfreepets.com) The whole team at Heene Road Vets is embracing this notion & we will keep you informed of our journey. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to talk to us.

Attention All Puppy Owners

Here is Sue our highly qualified nutritional nurse cuddling Buster. She says "Taking on a new puppy is a big commitment and one that comes with a responsibility to do the very best for your new best friend. A visit to a pet store can be a mind-boggling experience with its vast array of attractively packaged puppy diets, looking on-line can present you with pages and pages of puppy diets. How can you make the right choice? A typical bag of retail puppy food may contain over 30 ingredients many of them entirely unnecessary whereas Specific will only use ingredients that have known researched beneficial effects. Specific are so confident that your puppy will love their diets they offer a money back guarantee and you are automatically entered in to their Loyalty scheme, entitling you to a free bag/box of diet for every so many you buy(dependent on range and weight)." For more help and advice, book a free puppy nutrition appointment with Sue tel 01903 200187. For more detailed advice see our bloghttp://www.heeneroadvets.co.uk/documents/sue-puppy-blog-3.pdf
