This was the first sponsored dog walk for Pilgrims Hospices ‘Paws 4 Pilgrims’. It was a great day attracting over 200 dogs and raising in excess of £5000 for the charity. We supported Pilgrims Hospices by helping with fund raising and providing veterinary first aid care for all our four-legged patients.

We strongly believe that pet care awareness should be introduced to children as well as their parents. In the practice during a consultation, we have to focus on adult owners more, so our little owners might be missing out. To help them, our head nurse Ellie has become our professional veterinary care messenger in schools. This provides our ‘little owners’ with a fun way of learning and an opportunity to ask questions.

If your cat has hyperthyroidism then he or she is probably having to take tablets every day. We know how stressful this can be for both you and your cat so in order to try and make things easier, we have sourced a new medicine.

This medicine comes in the form of a gel, a small volume of which is applied to the inside of your cat’s ear just once a day. This is a very simple procedure which is easily learned and which most cats will tolerate very well.

We can explain and demonstrate how to apply the gel and you can also watch a short video.
