After one year with us, Bron and Greg are heading back home to South Africa — proof that you don’t need a lifetime to make a lasting impression!

In true Bron and Greg fashion, they’ve spent the past 12 months winning over clients, patients and the team with their warm personalities, endless good humour and ability to brighten even the busiest of days.

We’re not only going to miss this lovely duo, but also their furry friends. Frank, the ultimate crumb finder and biscuit hogger, who has certainly kept everyone on their toes. Molly’s sweet nature earned her the unofficial title of practice guinea pig, always happy to help test new equipment and sit through demonstrations. And last but not least, cheeky Gracie, whose talent for finding mischief knows no bounds — including her recent adventure into a neighbour’s bathroom, where she gave them quite the fright!

Thank you both for all your hard work, kindness and dedication. Although you’ve only been with us for a short time, your impact has been huge, and it certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. You will be sorely missed by the entire team.

Wishing you all the very best for your next adventure. Safe travels, enjoy being back home, and know that South Africa is incredibly lucky to have you back.

Love from all of us ❤️🇿🇦🐾

This week Brian celebrates 31 years as a vet! 🩺🐾

To mark the occasion, Brian reflects on 31 changes he has witnessed over his career…

“1. The veterinary profession was ranked in the top 5 most-trusted British Institutions (along with the Post Office)

2. There were no computerised records, just paper records that were often lost and illegible

3. Clients assumed that the vet generally knew better and when things didn’t work out, they appreciated that you tried your best!

4. No email, no internet, Google, AI. Wireless was something my grandparents listened to.

5. AI only meant one thing – Artificial Insemination of cows!

6. Cutting edge communication took the form of Fax machines and pagers

7. The first mobile phones for on-call were the size of a brick with a 4-foot aerial

8. 5-minute appointments and “open surgeries” were typical. A vet’s shift finished when the queue finished.

9. Having an ultrasound machine in GP was considered as advanced as having CT in GP practice nowadays

10. Dog spays cost less than £100 and cat castrates cost less than £20. A consultation cost around £20.

11. Newly graduated vets did out of hours emergency call by themselves from day 1

12. Most of the graduates were male. Now male graduates are less than 10%

13. The idea that a veterinary practice could be owned by non-vets was inconceivable

14. Practices were owned as either sole charge businesses or partnerships. Limited company liability structures weren’t for professions

15. The only advertising that was considered legitimate was a brass plate at the practice door

16. Itchy cats got scruffed and sprayed with Nuvan Top® …and they hated the noise.

17. If that didn’t work, they were given oestrogen hormone which suppressed itchiness in cats

18. Surgical instruments on farms were sterilised in a pressure cooker or a kettle

19. Glass-mercury thermometers used to sometimes break inside a patient’s rear end

20. Tail docking for fashion was normal

21. Navigation relied on paper maps of fields in the middle of nowhere, which are now towns

22. All dogs and cats entering the UK had to stay in a government-run quarantine kennels for 6 months.

23. Broken legs got a cast. Crooked limbs were considered to ‘add-character’. Now we get sued.

24. There were no painkillers for cats that lasted more than 4 hours. Some people believed ‘cats don’t feel pain’.

25. Dog spays got 1 injection of a weak op**te pre-op and nothing else afterwards. Ever! Now all ops get at least 2 types, often 3, of painkiller for at least 5 days.

26. Feline Corona virus was always fatal. These cats now live due to medicines discovered during COVID 19

27. The most common cause of death in cows was BSE

28. We were taught that Foot and Mouth was unlikely to happen again in the UK (…then came 2001)

29. The only dogs that were fed raw food were hunting dogs, and most pet owners deemed this disgusting.

30. Male vets stripped to waist when doing calvings and farmers joking that female vets should do the same was considered great banter!

31. Veterinary colleagues – including those who you had never met – generally gave you the benefit of the doubt when animal owners asked them for a second opinion.”

Congratulations Brian on this huge milestone!🩺🐾✨

🍀 Clover was searching for good luck but found grass seeds instead! 🍀

This sweet girl came in to see us today as she was shaking her ears excessively. On examination, we found two grass seeds hiding in her ear canal and safely removed them under sedation.

🌾 Grass seeds may be small, but they can cause big problems. Their sharp shape allows them to work their way into ears, paws, eyes, and even under the skin, leading to pain, irritation, infection, and sometimes surgery.

🐾 Signs to watch for:
• Head shaking
• Scratching at the ears
• Sudden signs of discomfort
• Excessive licking of paws
• Redness or swelling

After walks, especially through long grass, it’s always worth giving your pet a quick check over.

Thankfully, Clover is now feeling much more comfortable and can get back to looking for the right kind of luck! 💚🍀

Summer is finally here 😎🌞

With temperatures set to reach highs of 27°C over the next few days, it’s important to keep our furry friends safe in the heat.

Make sure pets have plenty of fresh water, access to shade, and avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day ☀️🐾

If you’re concerned your pet may be suffering from heat-related issues, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

We hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend and enjoy the long awaited sunshine! 🌼
