We had the sweetest little inpatient yesterday. Jura likes to be snuggled in a fluffy blanket and spoon fed her lunch.
As you can imagine all the staff were instantly enchanted by her. 🤩

🐾 Keeping Our Feline Friends Safe & Calm in Reception! 🐱

​At Hyndland Street Vet, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Reception can sometimes be a busy and overwhelming environment for our pets, so we’d love to share a few quick reminders to help make every visit as stress-free as possible:

​1️⃣ Keep Cats Secure in Their Carriers
Please keep your cat safely inside their carrier at all times while in the reception area. With dogs coming and going and a main entrance opening directly onto a busy road, staying inside the carrier protects them from sudden startles or escape risks.
​2️⃣ Give Cat Carriers Space
Even if your dog is super friendly and "loves cats," please don't let them go up to say hello to a cat in a carrier. For a cat, seeing a dog close by can be very terrifying, regardless of how gentle the dog is!
​3️⃣ Cozy Covers for Extra Comfort
Did you know? We have Feliway-sprayed blankets available at reception! Draping one of these calming blankets over your cat’s carrier helps block out visual stress and creates a cozy, safe hideaway while you wait. Please feel free to help yourself or ask a member of our team!

​Thank you all for working together to keep our clinic a safe, happy space for every furry patient! ❤️🐶🐱

📢 Important Medication Update - Tuesday 29th September 📢

You may have already spotted our posters in reception or heard our reception team mention it while in the practice, but we wanted to give everyone another reminder about an important upcoming change.

On Tuesday 29th September, Hyndland Street Veterinary Surgery will be changing to a new practice management system. During the changeover, we will not have access to any client or patient records, which means we will be unable to process medication requests or dispense any medication on that day.

To help ensure that no pet misses important treatment, we kindly ask that you order and collect any required medication well in advance of 29th September.

If your pet is likely to need medication around this date, please get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements before the changeover.

✅ Medication requests and collections available as normal before 29th September
❌ No medication requests or collections on Tuesday 29th September
✅ Normal service will resume on Wednesday 30th September

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we make this exciting upgrade. We appreciate your support and apologise for any inconvenience caused. 🐾💙

🚨 Thinking about getting a puppy or kitten? Please read this first. 🚨

While there are lots of lovely and responsible breeders out there. Not every breeder has animal welfare at heart. Sadly, puppy farms, kitten mills and irresponsible breeders continue to profit from the suffering of animals, often using online selling platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and other classified advert sites to reach unsuspecting buyers.

⚠️ Warning signs to look out for:
• The seller has multiple adverts, breeds, ages or colours available.
• They want to meet in a car park or public place instead of their home. OR they offer to bring the pet to you.
• You're not allowed to see the mother with the puppies or kittens.
• The animals appear dirty, lethargic, fearful, unsocialised, or show signs of illness.
• Vaccination records seem questionable or incomplete. No reputable breeder will have a problem with you confirming these details.
• Microchip not been registered to a UK database.
• The breeder doesn't ask you any questions about the home you're offering. Reputable breeders care where their animals are going.

💔 One of the biggest misconceptions is that buying a puppy or kitten from these situations is "saving" them.

IT ISN'T

While the intention is good, handing over money, funds the breeder and enables them to continue breeding more animals in poor conditions. The Scottish SPCA specifically advises that if something doesn't feel right, walk away and report it rather than buying the animal.

Puppies and kittens bred in these environments are at greater risk of serious health problems, behavioural issues, poor socialisation and, in some cases, early death due to the conditions they have been raised in.

✅ If you're looking for a new pet:
• Research breeders thoroughly.
• Always see the mother with the litter.
• Visit where the animals are being raised.
• Consider adopting from a rescue centre.

If you suspect a breeder is operating unethically, report the advert and contact the Scottish SPCA.

Don't rescue with your wallet. Walk away. Report it. Help stop the cycle of animal suffering. ❤️🐾

Please feel free to share far a wide to help spread the message.

This incredibly handsome boy was so brave getting his vaccines today and didn't even flinch when the vet clipped his wee back nails.
We love you Claude 😍
