We are very proud to have served animal owners for over 80 years. 24/7 Emergency Hospital. iiE Bronze

There has been a veterinary practice at our present Hospital site in Aylesbury for over 100 years, which at that time was on the edge of the town and where the vet worked out of his Georgian house with stables in what was his back garden. This building continued to be used as part of our Small Animal Hospital till 2009. We fully renovated it in 2011 to use as our Farm Practice Office.

During September, 46 appointments were missed across our branches and the hospital:

📍 Outpatients: 18
📍 Elm Farm: 9
📍 Haddenham: 9
📍 Hospital: 5
📍 Watermead: 5

Compared to August, our total number of missed appointments fell from 54 to 46 - a reduction of almost 15%! 👏

While the Hospital recorded fewer missed appointments, it's important to remember that some of these bookings are for surgical procedures, meaning valuable theatre time, equipment and staff resources may have been reserved for patients who did not attend.

Every missed appointment is a slot that could have been offered to another pet needing veterinary care. If you're unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer the appointment to someone else.

Thank you to everyone who contacts us when plans change. Your call really does make a difference. 💙🐾

This beautiful Persian gentleman is currently staying with us while he receives treatment for pancreatitis.

Cats are masters at hiding when they're unwell, and conditions such as pancreatitis can sometimes present with only very subtle signs, including reduced appetite, sleeping more than usual, or becoming less interested in daily activities.

Our team is making sure this lovely boy is as comfortable as possible while he recovers, and we're all rather smitten with him!

Not every part of veterinary care involves stethoscopes and surgery. Sometimes it's all about cuddles ❤️🐱

Here Amelia, one of our student nurses, is spending some quality time with Kopi before his neutering procedure.

Helping our patients feel calm and comfortable is an important part of what we do, and we think Kopi was very happy with his pre-op snuggles!

Kopi is also a member of our Pet Care Plan, meaning he received a 10% discount on his neutering procedure. Members also enjoy savings on veterinary diets, along with a range of other benefits designed to help keep pets happy and healthy throughout the year.

Another busy weekend for our out-of-hours team, with 32 patients seen between Friday night and Sunday evening.

Our team cared for a wide variety of cases, including gastrointestinal upsets, ear infections, wound checks, breathing difficulties, road traffic accidents, rabbits suffering from gut stasis, lacerations requiring sedation and repair, and even a dog needing support whilst whelping. 🐶🐱🐰

We're delighted that five patients were well enough to be discharged home to continue their recovery with their families. 🏡💕

Sadly, we also helped several much-loved pets pass peacefully over the rainbow bridge this weekend. Our thoughts are with their families at such a difficult time. 🌈❤️

A huge thank you to the fantastic team who provided compassionate care throughout the weekend:

We were treated to a wonderful surprise today when the lovely owners of a recent patient brought in a huge stash of biscuits for our team as a thank you. 💙Their dog was very poorly with a pyometra and required emergency treatment, so it's incredibly rewarding to see her doing well and back home with her family.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Gestures like this mean so much to our team and are never expected but always appreciated! 🐾🍪 And let's be honest, veterinary professionals run on coffee/tea, adrenaline, and biscuits. 😆☕🍪

Who can resist that face? 😍

Gorgeous kitten Bella visited us last week for her routine neutering and microchipping. She was incredibly brave and is now back home recovering with plenty of fuss and cuddles. 🐱💕

Being a member of our Pet Care Plan meant Bella also received discounts on her neutering and microchipping, making essential healthcare that little bit more affordable.

Join us in wishing Bella a speedy recovery! 🐾
