Our Callington branch is getting a refresh! 🐾

Unfortunately, our Callington branch was affected by flooding and water damage earlier this year. We are going to be undergoing a major refurbishment to repair the damage caused. We will also have a big refresh and modernise our space, helping us to deliver an even better experience when you visit us.

The works are expected to last around 9–12 months, but please be assured that we will remain open as usual throughout the refurbishment! The farm department will also remain open as usual in Callington. 🐄 🐑 🐖 🦙

We’ll keep you updated with the latest refurbishment news and any temporary changes to our services here on social media and on our website here:

Today is World Arthritis Day!

Arthritis is a progressive condition and although it is not curable, there are several ways to improve your pet’s comfort and help them to lead a full and active life.

Symptoms such as stiffness, limping, struggling to jump and reluctance to walk can indicate underlying osteoarthritis – a painful condition caused by degeneration and inflammation of the joints.

There are lots of different treatments available - including anti-inflammatories, joint supplements, arthritis injections, acupuncture, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

If you would like to have your dog or cat checked over, then please contact us to arrange this!

⭐️ Star of the Month ⭐️

Handsome Bear is the star of September! He came in to see us when his owner noticed that his tummy looked like it was bulging more than normal. In an appointment, we felt his tummy and were concerned about something firm inside. An ultrasound scan was carried out straight away, and we detected an extremely large mass on his spleen measuring over 10cm, but luckily it hadn’t burst.

Bear underwent major surgery to remove his splenic tumour. Veterinary surgeons Harry and Thivya worked extremely hard to remove his spleen and ensure no bleeding vessels. Bear recovered extremely well from the surgery and was discharged after his recovery.

Bears splenic mass weighed 3.1kg which was 14% of his body weight! Thankfully the rest of his organs are working extremely well, and dogs can live without their spleen without any issues!

Well done Bear, what a month you’ve had!

We have had an elderly stray male cat, without a microchip, brought into us. Found near Drake’s Park in Bere Alston. He has sadly been put to sleep on welfare grounds. Please contact us 01579 383231 if he could have been yours.

The lovely Basil came to visit us for his monthly osteoarthritis injection! He brought his toy pig along for the journey 🐖

Basil has retired from working as a sniffer dog in the RAF and is now enjoying a quieter lifestyle. He really benefits from his arthritis injection and feels much more comfortable after!

Why cover your cat’s carrier?

Placing a towel or blanket over your cat’s carrier can help reduce stress and make their journey to the veterinary practice more comfortable.

🐈‍⬛ Reduces visual distractions: Covering the carrier prevents your cat from seeing unfamiliar people, other animals, passing cars and bright lights, which can be overwhelming.
🐈‍⬛ Helps muffle sounds: A towel can soften some of the noise around your cat. This can be particularly helpful in a busy veterinary waiting room where there may be other people, animals and unfamiliar sounds.
🐈‍⬛ Provides privacy and security: Cats often feel safer when they have somewhere to hide. Covering the carrier creates a more private, enclosed space where your cat can feel less exposed.
🐈‍⬛ Provides a familiar scent: Using a towel or blanket from home can provide a comforting, familiar smell, helping your cat feel more secure in an unfamiliar environment.
🐈‍⬛ Offers protection from the elements: A towel can provide shade on warmer days and help protect your cat from any rain.

We provide towels in each of our reception areas for you to cover your cat’s travel box! Please help yourself when you come to visit, and make sure you sit in the designated cat waiting areas!

UPDATE: She has now been collected by the Cornwall Dog Warden. We kindly ask that you contact them on: 03001 234212.

LOST: We've had a female Border Collie brought into our Looe Branch after being found by a member of the public near Plaidy Beach. We estimate she's roughly 5 years old, with incorrect microchip details. She has been found with a yellow floral collar with no tag.
