Floss came in for a routine weight check for her flea and worming treatment, but her owners also wanted some advice about travel sickness.

If your dog dreads car journeys, pants excessively, drools, vomits or seems anxious in the car, it’s worth having a chat with us. Travel sickness is a common problem, and there may be more options available than you realise.

Floss is on our Health Plan, so her consultation was included as part of her membership 💜

Got a pet who hates travelling? Give us a call and we’ll be happy to help 🐾

Future vets wanted 🩺✨

At our open day, children will have the chance to dress up as vets and get hands-on with some behind-the-scenes fun 🐾

Got a teddy that needs medical attention? Bring them along!

We’ll have a teddy bandaging station where children can learn how to apply a bandage and help their favourite fluffy patient recover 🧸💜

Tiny scrubs.
Tiny vets.
Probably extremely questionable diagnoses.

Meanwhile the pets will be busy collecting their free toys & accessories and posing dramatically in the doggy photo booth 📸

Not every pet needs the same parasite prevention plan 👀

Some pets are out collecting ticks like loyalty points.
Others haven’t touched soil since 2023 🛋️

That’s why we look at each pet’s lifestyle, habits and risk factors before recommending products — so protection is tailored to the pet, the owner and real life 🩺

Vets at Bretby is made up of real humans—discover what they didn’t see coming when they chose this career 👀💜

Anna: “Even after over 20 years in practice, I’m still learning and still surprised by my cases!”

Megan’s senior clinic was conducted under one very important condition:

No unnecessary leaving of the carrier 🫣🗃️

Once she’d made that clear, we checked her blood pressure where she felt most comfortable, took blood samples for her senior profile and had a chat with her family about some dietary tweaks to help keep her at an ideal body weight. 🐈‍⬛🥗🩺

Her owners booked her in because they wanted to stay one step ahead and make sure she’s as comfortable and healthy as possible as she gets older.

A very sensible plan from Megan’s support team, if you ask us 💜🐾

We are jumping on the trend - who can you recognise?
From the first phone call to the final cuddle, every member of our team plays a special part in caring for your pets 💜🐾

We might look a little different here… but the love and dedication is exactly the same 🐶✨

Your pet might only have a couple of fleas…

…but the rest of the family are probably hiding in your carpet plotting against you 👀🪳

They can cause:
🦔 Intense itching
🧴 Skin irritation
🪱 Tapeworm transmission
🧹 A dramatic increase in vacuuming

Some pets are so sensitive that even a single flea bite can leave them miserable 😟

We offer free parasite risk assessments to help find the best protection for your pet — whether they’re an outdoor adventurer or a professional couch potato 🌿🛋️💜

🌻 Plant now. Brag later. 🌻

Every child visiting our open day will have the chance to plant sunflower seeds to take home 🐾

At the end of summer, we’ll be holding a competition for the tallest sunflower 👀

Will yours become:
🌻 majestic garden centre giant
🌻 slightly wonky but enthusiastic
🌻 mysteriously eaten by slugs overnight

Only time will tell.

(We can’t promise your dog won’t attempt to supervise the planting process.)
