🐾❤️ **Meet the gorgeous Dolly!** ❤️🐾

As part of our Lumps & Bumps offer, we wanted to share a little bit about Dolly, who has recently undergone surgery to have two large masses removed, and we’re sure she must be feeling a little lighter without them! ❤️

⚠️ GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING ⚠️

Please be aware that the attached photo shows the two masses surgically removed from Dolly. The image may be upsetting or unpleasant for some viewers, so please bear this in mind before viewing.

We’re sharing a photo of the two masses removed during her procedure to highlight why it’s so important to keep an eye on our pets and get any new or changing lumps and bumps checked by a vet.

When it comes to lumps and bumps, they can vary greatly in size, shape and type. Some may be harmless, while others may need further investigation or removal. You can’t always tell what a lump is just by looking at it, which is why getting it checked is so important. 🩺

🐶 Our Lumps & Bumps offer is running until 31st October 2026, so please get in touch with our team to find out more or to book an appointment.

Sending gorgeous Dolly lots of love while she recovers! 🐶🐾

🐾🌟 PET OF THE MONTH: ARLA!🌟🐾

This month, we are celebrating a very special girl who has made the most amazing progress over the past year…Arla!💕🐶

Arla is a rescue dog who was once very frightened about coming to the vets, especially through the front door. She started attending our confidence clinics with our lovely nurses, where we worked at her pace with plenty of patience, treats and positive reinforcement. 🥰

At first, we started by greeting Arla outside in the garden, where she could feel more comfortable. She wasn't a fan of the stethoscope either! 🩺🙈

As her confidence grew, we encouraged Arla to enter through our side door, continuing her confidence clinics and positive experiences. Little by little, those small steps became huge milestones! 🐾✨

And then came yesterday's 6-month health check… and WOW, what a transformation! 🥹💕

Arla confidently walked through our front door, came in excited to see everyone and happily greeted the team! She enjoyed treats from our receptionists and nurses, and she even managed to have her claws clipped. 🥳🐾

We couldn't be prouder of how far Arla has come. Her journey is a wonderful reminder that sometimes progress happens one tiny step, one treat and one positive experience at a time. ❤️

So, we invited Arla back to celebrate her incredible achievement and collect her Pet of the Month certificate and goodie bag. And, of course, she got to choose her very own toy! 🎁🧸🐶

Well done, Arla!We are so proud of you and all the confidence you've built over the past year. 💕🐾

🐾 **Milo’s Weight Loss Journey!** 🐾

We wanted to share the fantastic progress of Milo, our gorgeous overweight Collie, who has been coming to the Weight Clinic at Croft since February. ❤️

When Milo first started his weight-loss journey, he weighed **31kg**. With a change of diet, regular weight checks and support from our wonderful veterinary nurses, Milo has been working hard towards a healthier weight.

Milo is now enjoying Royal Canin Satiety food, with his meals carefully measured to ensure he’s getting the correct number of grams each day as part of his personalised weight-loss plan.

And the results speak for themselves... 🥁

🎉 **Milo now weighs an amazing 25.7kg!** 🎉

That’s a fantastic **5.3kg weight loss**! 🐶👏

We’re so proud of Milo and his progress. His journey shows that with the right diet, portion control, regular monitoring and lots of patience, those extra kilos really can come off.

Well done, Milo! Keep up the fantastic work! 💙🐾

Please get in contact with our practice if you would like more information on our weight clinics or to book an appointment.
