We are so excited about our new X-ray facilities at our upgraded premises, Midlands Veterinary Hospital, 4 Curry's Post Road, Howick!

10/10/2022

We are pleased to announce that Howick Small Animal Clinic and Midlands Veterinary Clinic will be operating as Midlands Veterinary Hospital as of the 15th October 2022.

Our two practices have been in partnership since 2008. We always strive to provide our patients with the best possible care and at the same time we strive to provide a high level of modern Medical, Surgical and Nursing Care. Thus we have decided to merge the two veterinary practices and upgrade to Midlands Veterinary Hospital.

So as of the 15th October, Midlands Veterinary Clinic will be moving to and consulting from 4 Curry’s Post Road as Midlands Veterinary Hospital. We hope you will come in and visit us and please save the date for our Open Day on the 19th November.

What is Rabies?

Rabies is a zoonotic disease (which means that people can become infected by an infected animal). The virus is shed in saliva and is spread mainly by the bite of an infected animal. Rabies affects the brain and is fatal once a person or animal shows clinical signs.

Animals infected by rabies show changes in behaviour and neurological symptoms. They may salivate, become paralysed, are unable to swallow, may vocalise continuously and may become aggressive or non-responsive.

- vaccinating your pets is the best way to protect them and humans from Rabies.
We offer Free Rabies Vaccinations every Tuesday and Thursday at our Nurses Clinic from 2-2:30pm. Strictly by appointment only ☎️ 0333305689

Rabies kills an estimated 59,000 people each year, with almost half of them being children under 15 years of age. This is a tragedy because rabies is 100 % vaccine-preventable and one of the most cost-effective ways of achieving this is by routine vaccination of dogs.

⚠️RAT POISON WARNING!!
We are warning all Rat Poison users:
There are many different types of rat poisons with different active ingredients that are poisonous to dogs. Many can be deadly to pets!
Rat poisons are easy to obtain and there are many different types of rat poisons available in a wide variety of colors (green, blue, etc.) and types (pellets, bait blocks, grain-based baits, etc) as well as poisons (Long-acting anticoagulants, Vitamin D3, etc). Products that look similar and have similar names may contain very different types of poison. Thus, if a pet ingests rat poison it is an emergency and the Vet will need to accurately identify the active ingredient to determine the risk of poisoning and the type of treatment, so please bring in the packet/box.
⚠️We would especially like to warn all CHOLECALCIFEROL (VITAMIN D3) users:
This is one of the most dangerous rat poisons on the market and seems to be gaining in popularity. This poison causes a very high calcium and phosphorus level in the body, resulting in severe, acute kidney failure. Small ingestions of this poison may be fatal for any dog or cat; thus, almost all ingestions must be treated quickly and appropriately to prevent kidney failure.
We are asking you all to please make sure to pet-proof your Rat Poison appropriately as pets seem to love the taste! If you suspect your pet has eaten Rat Poison, please bring your pet in immediately or call us on 033 330 5689

The signs of arthritis in pets may not be that obvious. The right food can help! See if your pet qualifies for a free bag of ’s Pet Nutrition mobility food.
Ts & Cs apply.

Mobility issues are common in pets, especially as they get older. The right food plays an important role in reducing pain, inflammation and also preventing the degradation of joint cartilage.

When the temperature drops, your senior dog feels the cold right down to his bones!
As the weather starts to turn cold and the frosty mornings start, your senior dog may have trouble adjusting to the change in temperature. Cold weather can aggravate your senior dog’s arthritis, making it more difficult for him to get around – it can also make sleeping on the floor uncomfortable. With just a few simple changes, you can make sure your beloved furry oldtimer is happy and cozy even when it’s cold and frosty outside.

Make winter comfortable for your old pooch with these simple preventive tips:

1. A soft, warm and comfortable bed- this will help protect their joints.
2. A jersey or jacket- especially for dogs with short coats and who don't have much muscle left.
3. Reduce pain and stiffness- there are multiple over-the-counter supplements that have glucosamine and chondroitin to help with joint pain and stiffness. It can also be as simple as feeding a joint support diet such as Hill's Mobility.
4. Schedule a Senior Pet Vet Visit - You should keep up with routine vet visits to make sure that your senior dog doesn’t develop any health problems or that his current conditions aren’t worsening, especially arthritis.

Contact us today to schedule a Senior Pet Vet Visit 0333305689

Winter … just the word conjures up the idea of shorter days and longer, icy cold nights. And just like we feel the cold in the chilly season, so do our senior feline friends. Cats are creatures of comfort and with their self-appointed royalty, they should certainly be kept warm, cozy and pampered in the cold, especially when they get older.
So make sure they have a nice warm and cozy bed and book a senior pet vet visit if your kitty shows signs of pain or stiffness. Book today 0333305689
