🤍🧡Crunchie and Twix🤍🧡
This lovely staff duo just love relaxing in the cat carrier at home. Having animals associate comfort with a cat carrier can sometimes be easier, as appose to the alternative of them fearing it.

Meet Phoebe! 🐾
This adorable Chihuahua × Toy Poodle (Chi-Poo) visited our Salisbury Road branch for her second vaccination and flea treatment. 🩺💊
She may be small, but she made a big impression with her sweet nature. We look forward to seeing her again soon! 🩷

We have had a stray female rabbit handed in to us at the Salisbury Road branch.
She is not micro-chipped.
She was found in a field near the RSPCA Hospital.
If you think this could be your pet, please call 01904643997.
Proof of ownership will be required.
Thank you for your help!

🌸🌸Edwin🌸🌸
Recently visited for a health check and it was noted that he wasn't quite right 🤔
Edwin was admitted, placed on fluids and had bloods taken. It became apparent via imaging that there was a potential "Foreign body" within his intestines.
Edwin was operated on and the "Foreign body" was removed (we still don't know what it is?) but after a short stay for pain relief and recuperation, we are pleased to say that Edwin is back on the road to recovery 🎉

🌞🐾 Hot Pavements = Hot Paws! 🐾🌞
As the temperature rises, it’s important to keep your furry friend’s paws safe. 🐶🔥
Did you know hot pavements can burn their sensitive paws? 🐾💔
💡Test the pavement by placing your hand on it for 5 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!
💡Walk during cooler times of the day (early mornings or late evenings)
Let’s keep those paws cool, or they’ll be barking for mercy! 🐾🔥

🐾🐾Juno🐾🐾
Juno spent the day at our Copmanthorpe branch recently where she had a spay procedure. Just look at those eyes and tell me that the Copmanthorpe ladies didn't pamper her?! Also pictured post procedure ....... snug as a bug in a rug! 🥰🪳

☀️☀️ How to spot Heatstroke ☀️☀️
Whilst we hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather ☀️ Please consider what is best for your animals, keep them shaded, hydrated and out of direct sunlight and walk in cooler temperatures. As an Emergency practice sadly we see this too often and sometimes the end result can be heart breaking 💔 If you do spot any signs or are concerned please don't hesitate to call us on 01904 643997.

The Minster Veterinary Practice has been providing veterinary care to the pets of York for more than 100 years. Originally based in a converted townhouse in The Crescent, The Minster Veterinary Practice has expanded into one of York’s largest small animal practices.
The Minster Veterinary Practice has five branches at Crockey Hill, Willow Grove, Copmanthorpe and Haxby, and its main small animal hospital at Salisbury Road.
The Minster Veterinary Practice moved the main hospital to its current site at Salisbury Road in 1985. Originally poultry and equine were both treated at this site, but since 1998 Salisbury Road has been a dedicated small animal practice. In 2015, the Salisbury Road practice gained hospital status, the highest level of accreditation, from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
The Minster Veterinary Practice has steadily grown and now has 21 vets, 18 veterinary nurses and 19 reception and admin staff, operating across its five branches and at its main hospital at Salisbury Road.
