🐾💗 Meet the sweetest little Westie!
Some puppies arrive for their very first consult ready to explore every corner of the room… and some arrive ready for cuddles. 🥹

Our lovely nurse had the very important job of providing plenty of loving arms and reassurance… and this little chap was more than happy to oblige! 💕🐶

Swipe through to see the moment he completely melted into his first visit… so relaxed that he promptly fell fast asleep on the consult table! 😴🤍

With his amazing owners right there beside him, he clearly decided that the vet wasn’t such a scary place after all. 🥰

We’re pretty sure this is what we call a five-star first consultation. ⭐️🐾

Wishing all our wonderful clients and their furry families a very happy weekend! ☀️🐕💗

What a day, what a dog show - Part One! 🐾❤️
Today was one of those days that leaves your feet aching, your cheeks hurting from smiling, and your heart feeling very full.

We had our little stand, with plenty of goodies to give away, advice to share, questions to answer and, most importantly, a friendly ear for anyone who fancied a chat. Because sometimes you don’t need a consultation… you just need someone who understands dogs to say, “Yep, I’d be worried about that too!” 😂

Myself the owner and veterinary surgeon, Dr Vicky, also had the absolute privilege of judging two categories: Best Puppy and Best Rescue.

Best Puppy was, quite frankly, impossible. How are you supposed to choose when they are ALL delicious?! 🥹🐶 So, to anyone who didn’t win - we’re sorry. You were all winners in our eyes!

And then there was Best Rescue… 🥹❤️
Hearing the stories behind these wonderful dogs was a proper tear-jerker. Meeting the humans who have opened up their homes, their hearts and their lives to give a gorgeous animal a second chance was genuinely moving. There is something very special about people who choose to adopt, not shop, and make space in their lives for a rescue who needs them.

We laughed. We chatted. We got stuck in. We met some truly brilliant dogs and even more brilliant humans.

And yes… we are absolutely exhausted. 😂

So a HUGE thank you to the wonderful members of my team who were able to give up their precious weekend time to come along and help make the day as special as it was for everyone. ❤️
I’m incredibly lucky to have you all. 🐾

But tonight, we’re going to bed tired and very, very happy - reminded all over again of why we do what we do, and most importantly, why we do it the way we do it.

Small, independent veterinary practice. Honest advice. Proper conversations. No judgement. Kindness at the centre of everything.

Because honest vetting means caring about the whole picture - animal & human.

And one thing today reminded us of more than anything:
You’ll never regret being kind. ❤️🐾

Thank you, Friends of Wandsworth Common and Rebecca Byrne | Dog Trainer | South West London for such a lovely day. We’ll see you next year! 🐶

🐾 Bank Holiday cuddles 🐾
We hope you’re having a lovely long weekend! 💛 These two gorgeous Burmese beauties certainly know how to make a day at the vets a little bit more special. 😻😻

We’re taking a little Bank Holiday break too, so the practice is closed Monday and back open as usual from Tuesday.

And to all the families getting ready for the return to school over the coming week - good luck with the early starts, packed lunches and finding those missing school shoes! 📚🎒✨

Have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend, everyone… see you Tuesday! 🐾💛

🌡️🐾 HEATWAVE SNOOZES! 🐾🌡️
While it might be scorching outside, our little patients are keeping cool in our lovely air-conditioned clinic! ❄️💙

Just look at this gorgeous little pug puppy, fast asleep in the vet’s hands. 🥹💤 What a beautiful start to the patient : vet relationship. 🫶🏼

Because even during a heatwave, vet visits should feel safe, calm and comfortable. 🐶❤️

☀️ A reminder for all pet parents: keep walks short and early/late in the day, make sure fresh water is always available, and never leave your pet in a hot car… not even for a minute.

Stay cool, stay safe and keep those precious pups comfortable! 🐾❄️

✋🐾 High five for the weekend!
One very happy Corgi patient showing us exactly how it’s done! 🐶💚 A little high five during prep, followed by some very enthusiastic playtime afterwards - clearly someone was feeling good! 😍

We love seeing our patients leave with a waggy tail and a spring in their step. 🥰

Sending you all some happy weekend vibes! 🐾💚

☀️ Northcote Road Summer Festival 2026 🐾🌈

What a fantastic weekend we had at the Northcote Road Summer Festival last Sunday!

It was a pleasure meeting so many familiar faces, as well as welcoming plenty of new ones to The London Vet. We loved chatting about pet health, introducing our complimentary Puppy & Kitten Health Checks, and answering all your questions about welcoming a new furry family member.

We also had lots of fun handing out dog biscuits and our rather popular tote bags, setting up a paddling pool to help keep hot paws cool, and making the most of the pedestrianised road with rainbow chalk, which kept little artists busy throughout the day. 🌈🐶

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, brought their four-legged friends to visit us, or simply joined in the fun. An even bigger thank you goes to the team who gave up their weekend to make the day such a success, and to my family, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in making the clinic what it is today. A special mention also goes to the littlest member of our clan, who attended her very first community event at just a few months old! Community events like these remind us why we love being an independent practice at the heart of Northcote Road.

Thanks again, and we’ll see you soon – either at our next community event or around Northcote Road! 💙🐾

11/07/2026

🌞 We’re so excited to be opening our doors and joining in with the wonderful community spirit of the Northcote Road Summer Festival tomorrow! 🐾

As your local independent vets, we’ll be located at the clinic throughout the day, 176 Northcote Road! Pop in to meet the team, find out a little more about what we do, or simply stop by for a good old chin wag with familiar faces we haven’t caught up with in a while.

Our fabulous tote bags are back - with a fun new twist! 🛍️ We’ve also got plenty to keep the little ones entertained, and with London enjoying a proper summer heatwave, our air conditioning will be on full blast - so do pop in, cool off for a few minutes, and say hello! ❄️☀️

Whether you’re already part of our practice family, just passing by, or thinking about welcoming a four-legged friend into your family, we’d love to see you. Come and say hello, support your local independent vet, and enjoy a wonderful day at the Northcote Road Summer Festival.

See you tomorrow, love Vicky & The Team x 💙🐶🐱

Some smiles say it all 🐶💕

Nothing brightens our day quite like seeing a happy patient leaving with a wagging tail and a smile. Moments like these are why we do what we do.

As a single branch, independent practice, we have the time to get to know every pet and every family who walks through our doors. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a more complex visit, we’re committed to making every experience as calm, gentle and reassuring as possible, while always putting your pet’s comfort and wellbeing first.

To our wonderful nurses, vets and support team - thank you for making tails wag every single day. 💚

🌡️ Current clinic status: Happily Air-conditioned. 💪
While London continues its impressive attempt to become the Mediterranean, we’re staying cool indoors and extending a warm welcome (without the actual warmth) to anyone passing by. 🤗
So dearest clients, if you’re already out on Northcote Road, we’d love to see you - pop in, say hello, and enjoy a few minutes of air-conditioned bliss. 🫶🏼
🐾 As much as we love seeing our furry friends, this heatwave is a good reminder that our pets are happiest, and safest, staying somewhere cool and shaded, rather than joining for errands and shopping trips. Of course, if your pet is poorly or needs our help, we’re here and open as usual. ❤️
Wishing everyone a comfortable and well-hydrated week. 💕🐾

A calm, comfortable patient is always our goal. 🐾

We know that, historically, vet visits haven’t always been a positive experience for every pet. Many dogs arrive expecting something unfamiliar or stressful, which is why we put so much emphasis on creating a calm, welcoming environment from the moment they walk through our doors.

Building trust takes time, but it starts with a gentle approach, patience, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable during their visit.

This lovely patient was relaxed, alert, and happy to spend time with one of our vets… exactly what we hope to see. When pets feel at ease, we can focus on what matters most: providing the best possible care.
