Let me introduce you to this sweet wee gentleman, Buddy.

Buddy visits our clinic monthly for his injectable prescription medicine used to treat Addison's disease (primary hypoadrenocorticism) in dogs. Addison’s disease is caused by insufficiencies in the adrenal glands. This condition is more common in dogs than in people, though still relatively rare- roughly around three dogs in a thousand suffer from it.

This means that every member of staff has had the pleasure of meeting Buddy at some point in his journey! He is always happy to see everyone- at reception especially, as you can tell by this gorgeous photo one of our lovely receptionists took. We are not sure if that is because of our wonderful receptionists or the biscuit tin, but either way we are very happy that Buddy is happy.

It is hard to capture his whole personality into one photo but as you can tell this very handsome boy is well cared for and always an appreciated visitor on a cloudy day. We would like to take this opportunity to show our appreciation to Buddy’s lovely owners as managing Addison’s disease requires a lot of care and dedication- Buddy is one very lucky boy.

Meet Wee Mary! Mary is one of our beloved staff pets, adopted after she was handed into the practice as a young stray and captured the heart of one of our wonderful receptionists. Whenever a stray animal is welcomed into a loving home, it can be stressful to not know their previous medical history.

In Mary’s case, after a few months of being very happy in her new home she started developing persistent sneezing episodes. She was promptly brought into her Vets4Pets family for a full assessment. After a general anaesthesia and careful investigation she was diagnosed with Feline Herpesvirus.

Feline herpesvirus type-1 is a common, highly contagious virus that causes upper respiratory infections and eye problems in cats. Flare ups of herpes virus can occur following or during periods of high stress. This can make management of these cases more complicated as keeping the cat calm and comfortable while undergoing treatment is a priority.

Mary received the best care from her slightly worried Mum after developing facial lesions as pictured here. This condition can take a very long time to settle and requires a lot of at home TLC (not strictly a medical term). This virus can stay dormant (hidden) in a cat's body for life after initial recovery.

Over the last few months, Mary has made huge improvements, coming back to her gorgeous and playful self. She could not have done this without the continued care she received from her owner and family. With just a little help from her vet family along the way. We are so happy that Mary is feeling better and will be there for her if the condition flares up in the future. As you can see, Wee Mary is an exceptionally gorgeous example of what the right home can do for a stray in need.

This is Bear, Bear is ‘the most special precious boy in the world’ and one of our lovely nurses' family dogs. Bear has been through so much recently and as today is his 9th birthday we wanted to acknowledge how brave and strong our Bear has been and share with you his recent trials and tribulations.

Bear wasn’t feeling very well last weekend, after collapsing in the back garden he was immediately rushed into our practice. The team quickly went to work as Bear was going into shock and becoming critically ill. At this point, Bear had internal bleeding and was becoming increasingly unstable. He received immediate first aid to help his increasing heart rate, low blood pressure and relieve his pain.

Bear had to be transferred to our specialist colleagues at The Royal Dick Vet School Hospital for Small Animals where he received the best care possible. Bear was bleeding from a mass on one of his internal organs, his spleen, which had ruptured. They had to remove 1 litre of blood from his abdomen and provided him with blood transfusions to stabilise him for surgery. He then underwent emergency surgery to remove his spleen and stayed their intensive care unit for 6 days with the amazing team of vets and nurses.

Fortunately, the mass that was present on his spleen was non-cancerous and Bear has been making amazing improvements each day. It is a long journey for Bear but with extra love and attention from home he is set to make a good recovery.

It can be incredibly stressful when your beloved pet requires specialist care and we understand this as vets, and as owners. We are so lucky to have an amazing referral centre close by and would to extend our appreciation for the life-saving care that Bear received from The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.

We would also like to thank all our staff that helped care for Bear that day- with a special thank you to Dr Andrew and one of our amazing nurses Cerys, who provided excellent first aid while also supporting a member of staff through a very challenging time.

So, please join me in wishing Bear a very happy 9th birthday and a continued recovery. We all love you very much Bear and glad you are back with your family

Mochi and Miso are the most handsome brothers, Miso on the left and Mochi on the right. They have been very brave boys getting their kitten vaccines and are growing into fine young gentlemen. Thank you to their owner for giving us permission to post these pictures, they are just too cute not to share!

We recommend that all new pets receive health checks once they have settled into their new homes, this allows our vets to detect any health concerns early and introduce preventative medicine often before an issue has occurred. For Miso and Mochi they had each other for moral support as they came in to see one of our lovely vets. We can't wait to see them again soon!

I am delighted to be able to share with you this gorgeous photo of one of our brilliant patients, Hetty. Hetty visits us quite regularly to undergo acupuncture treatment with one of our amazing vets, Dr Kay.

Acupuncture is a safe, complementary therapy that uses very fine needles to stimulate the nervous system, downregulating pain, releasing natural pain-relieving endorphins, and reducing inflammation. This is particular helpful in older animals with arthritic pain that have chronic discomfort.

In Hetty’s case, she loves to play. After her last acupuncture she slept for the rest of the day and woke up the next morning rejuvenated and play bowing like she was a young pup again. Each pet is as unique as you or me and finding the correct treatment for them can involve some trial and error. For Hetty, acupuncture is making a noticeable different to her mobility and we are so happy to be able to offer this service. And, as you can see she is very happy to be up on her back legs smiling for the camera following her session.

For further information please get in contact with a member of our team.

Well if it isn't a new addition to the Vets4Pets family!

Jude the Dude!

This very brave boy came in for his first vaccinations last week and captured the hearts of everyone at Vets4Pets. Whenever a little angel like Jude comes along we try our best to introduce them to as many members of staff that we can to start socialisation with the team. This help to build trust between puppies and our clinicians so the next time they come in they can remember all of the treats and belly-rubs instead of just the veterinary care they received. This means that first vaccinations consults are allotted extra time as standard to be able to give you and your puppies the care and attention that they need at this important and formative visit. This helps to build the confidence that your dog has at the vets and makes vet visits less stressful for you and your dog.

So, thank you to little Jude for being a big grown up boy and congratulations on your first vet visit!

Our wonderful team of receptionists have been working so hard recently that we have had to recruit a new member. This is the lovely, and very helpful, Brodie who put in a short shift working behind reception during his visit yesterday.

Brodie was very good at locating office supplies (the treat jar), greeting patients on arrival and posing for the camera. Thank you to Brodie's owners that let us share this photo of his first day on the job! Hope to see you back for a second shift soon!

Happy Friday! Everyone loves to see a cute pup and we have an exceptionally cute boy to show you today. This is Murdo, one of our cutest patients, recovering from surgery with his teddy Nelly. Whether it is a support teddy, a favourite blanket or just their favourite treats- we want to make sure that every animal has what they need to have a bit of home when in with us. Thank you to our lovely nurses for taking such good care of Murdo and capturing this adorable picture.

A pet rabbit has been handed in to our practice, found in Broxburn. Please get in contact with our team if you believe you may know the owner of this rabbit.

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."
