🐰RABBIT NEUTERING🐰

Here is Lloyd and Dani with the amazing Pip and Blossom who were in for neutering today. These 2 bunny’s were so well behaved during their visit and we just had to get a photo of them together! 💚

Why neuter your rabbit?
🐇 Healthier Life: Prevents uterine cancer in females and testicular cancer in males.
🐇 Better Behaviour: Helps reduce spray marking, aggression and destructive chewing.
🐇 Bunny Besties: Neutering is essential if you want to pair your rabbit with a friend - rabbits are social creatures and thrive in pairs!

Meet Michelle, she has the most amazing manners.
Michelle was in recently for her laparoscopic spay with Caroline and the team, and she couldn't have been a better patient. She was such a brave girl throughout the entire process and showed us all her absolute best manners!
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery means a smaller incision, less post-op discomfort, and a much faster recovery time, so Michelle will be back to her happy, energetic self in no time.
Sending lots of extra cuddles and treats her way while she finishes resting up at home 🐾

Update on lovely Roxy (belonging to our twins, Megan and Beth) who recently had a Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) test on her lump
We have some great news! Her results came back, and it turns out to be a completely harmless fatty lump (lipoma)
Megan and Beth will be keeping a close eye on it at home for now. If it ever starts growing significantly or causes her any discomfort, the girls will pop her in to have it removed, but for now, Roxy is clear, happy, and escapes for another day!

🐾 Thinking about getting your bitch spayed? Here’s why it’s one of the best choices for her long-term health!

Spaying isn't just about preventing accidental litters, it plays a vital role in keeping your dog healthy and happy for years to come.
Here are 4 key facts every UK dog owner should know:
🐾 Prevents Pyometra: Pyometra is a severe, life-threatening infection of the womb that affects around 1 in 4 unspayed female dogs by age 10. Spaying removes the womb, completely eliminating this risk.
🐾 Reduces Mammary Cancer Risks: Spaying your dog before her first season dramatically reduces her risk of developing mammary cancer down to less than 0.5%.
🐾 No More Seasons: Unspayed female dogs generally come into season twice a year. This involves around 3 weeks of bleeding, behavioural changes, and unwanted attention from male dogs on walks. Spaying stops seasons entirely

Please book a free of charge nurse consult to discuss the different options and how we can help get your dog booked in

The photos really don’t show the extent of this boys elongated soft palate. Helping Yorkshire Poundies - HYPS

When this sweet brachycephalic boy Spud first arrived at Helping Yorkshire Poundies, it was clear he was struggling. His heavy snoring, constant panting, and visible respiratory distress meant that even just resting in his kennel was hard work. The rescue team knew Spud needed more than just love and a warm bed—he needed medical help to give him the quality of life he deserved.
Enter Sarah at Helping Yorkshire Poundies. Seeing Spud’s daily struggle to breathe comfortably, Sarah reached out directly to Caroline, a soft tissue surgeon. The two talked through Spud's symptoms, evaluating his noisy breathing and distress. Together, they made the decision to get Spud brought in for a full airway assessment.
During the assessment, Caroline examined Spud’s upper airways and identified the main culprit behind his breathing troubles: an elongated soft palate dangling down into his throat and partially blocking his windpipe. Based on her findings, Caroline recommended and performed a staphylectomy—carefully shortening the soft palate to help clear his upper airway.
When Spud woke up in recovery, the difference was immediate. The harsh, raspy air noises were gone, replaced by soft, quiet breathing.
Thanks to the seamless teamwork between Sarah, Helping Yorkshire Poundies, and surgeon Caroline, Spud isn't just breathing easier—he’s ready to find his forever home with a brand-new lease on life.

Why Is It Life-Changing?
In flat-faced breeds, the soft tissue at the back of the roof of the mouth is often too long, dangling into the airway like a curtain and partially blocking the windpipe.

🐾 Makes each breath easier: Removes physical obstruction so your pet doesn't have to work overtime just to take a breath.
🐾 Better Sleep Quality: Significantly reduces loud snoring, gagging, and sleep apnoea.
🐾 Cooling Down Safely: Dogs cool themselves by panting. A clear airway reduces the risk of dangerous heatstroke in warmer weather or during play.
🐾 More Energy & Playtime: Pets can enjoy walks and zoomies without fatiguing quickly or struggling for air.

Meet Jazz the Airedale 🐾
Jazz was in with us at VetsforPets Barnsley for her laparoscopic spay, and we couldn't be prouder of how brave she was. Thanks to keyhole surgery, Jazz benefits from smaller incisions, less post-op discomfort, and a much faster recovery time—meaning she’ll be back to her tail-wagging, playful self in no time 🩷

Meet Peaches! 🍑🐱
This brave girl was recently brought to us after her owners noticed something wasn't quite right. After a careful examination under anaesthesia, we found the culprit: a long blade of grass caught at the back of her throat, extending all the way up into her nasal cavity!
It’s surprisingly common for cats to swallow grass that then gets trapped behind the soft palate instead of going down into the stomach. This can cause persistent sneezing, coughing, gagging, or nasal discharge.
Thankfully, the procedure went smoothly, and we were able to safely extract the entire piece of grass. Peaches woke up feeling instantly relieved and was purring in no time!

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
