World Zoonoses Day (6th July) brings attention to the need for safe and responsible pet ownership.
We’re raising awareness about the importance of animal health in maintaining human health. There are many diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans, such as worms, cat scratch fever, fungal infections, lice and mites, so it's essential that we protect ourselves from potential exposure to these hazards.
What does your dog get up to during the day while you're away? Wouldn't you like to know?
This cool wee gadget could give you an insight. We have one of these Animo Activity and Behaviour Monitors up for grabs during the month of February. All you have to do is purchase any Bravecto Flea Treatment for dogs from our clinic during the promotional period.

Theodore <3
My name is Theodore.
Like my friend Arthur, I have been at this place for a wee while. Arthur has now been adopted and the Nurses say it's my turn next!
I found a really nice lady who would leave food out for me because I was really, really hungry. I have never had a home before, and I had to live rough outside where it was very cold.. The really nice lady brought me to where I am now. I did scratch her a wee bit but I am very sorry about that now.
I was very frightened at the beginning. It took a week before I would let the Nurses touch me, but now I let them pick me up and cuddle me and kiss me. I am a very good boy.
One of my favourite things to do is EAT. I loveeee eating! Anything really, wet food, dry food, anything on the floor that looks like food. The Nurses say I am a very good ‘vacuum cleaner’. I have big fluffy cheeks like Theodore the Chipmunk.
I’m looking for a nice family who will give me my very first home. The Nurses were surprised I had all of my ‘bits’. I didn’t know what that meant, until I woke up after a long nap and my ‘bits’ were gone. I’m a much happier boy now.
I would love to have a home with a nice warm bed and lots of food, and someone to love me, and for me to love them. That’s really all I need.
Love, Theodore <3

Maggie 🐶
Maggie is a Jack Russel Terrier. She is 13 years old, which makes her around 72 in dog years! Her favourite activities include her daily walks through the park and sunbathing on the deck at home. Maggie is definitely one of a kind! Maggie lives at home with Dr Sandy Cooper and her two feline friends. Sandy has had Maggie right from day one, as she bred the litter of puppies Maggie is from. A dynamic duo from the start!
Eevee 🐱
Eevee Breezy Covergirl Jenner Cooper, she was lovingly named by the staff members here at the Elles Road Veterinary Centre. Eevee came into the clinic heavily pregnant and upon examination was found to have a diaphragmatic hernia. Her owners surrendered her to the clinic for treatment. A diaphragmatic hernia is a condition in which the diaphragm allows some of abdominal organs into the chest. Eevee had her 3 beautiful kittens and then had the much-needed surgery to fix her diaphragm. Two of the kittens went home with staff members and the third kitten was adopted out. Once she had recovered Eevee went home with Dr Sandy Cooper and that's where she remained.

Your daily dose of cuteness! <3
Today's video stars our very own, Gannet Cooper! Gannet is almost 16 years old, and she has various medical conditions. However, with the correct medical treatment, she still plays, and lives life like a kitten! This is an example of Gannet "hunting" which she tends to do on a daily basis - you may be lucky enough to witness this yourself one day at the clinic! Enjoy! :)
