Grass seed season is here early ☀️

Arrow-shaped seed heads from wild barley, brome grass and meadow foxtails are drying early this year, and they can cause serious problems for dogs. These sharp seeds can work their way between toes, into ears and eyes, up noses or even through the skin.

Once embedded, they migrate forward, never back, and they don’t break down naturally. In some cases, they can travel deeper into the body and lead to painful infections or abscesses.

These are the drying seed heads still attached to their stems, but once individual seeds detach, they can easily pe*****te the skin and become difficult to spot.

If you think your dog may have picked up a grass seed, contact us immediately 🐾

We were delighted to see our very own Bruce featured in the latest episode of ZSL’s Wildest Moments podcast alongside his son, Ben, and ZSL’s Head of Wildlife Health Services, Dr Amanda Guthrie.

In the episode, Bruce reflects on his journey from Canada to London Zoo, where his career in wildlife veterinary medicine began many years ago - and on the Golden Retriever, Honey, who changed the course of his life. Amazingly, years later, a similar story would unfold for Ben.

It’s a fascinating conversation about family, veterinary medicine, and how wildlife healthcare has evolved over the years - as well as the vital role it continues to play in protecting both animals and people.

With ZSL recently announcing a brand new wildlife health centre, it feels like the perfect moment to celebrate the incredible work being done in wildlife veterinary care.

When it comes to cancer, there’s rarely a simple answer!

Dr Bruce Fogle and Dr Grant Petrie discuss how treatment has progressed, and the difficult decisions that can come with it.

From surgery to more advanced therapies, outcomes today are far better than they once were. But just as important is asking: what’s right for each individual pet and their owner?

There are never easy conversations, but you're never facing them alone 🩵

Big Sunday stretches for Archie, getting ready for a new week 😁

Archie visited us recently for an ultrasound and blood test. At 14 years old, and despite being mostly blind and deaf, he still loves getting out and about!

Meet Marmalade 🐱 16 years young and still treating visits to York Street like he's at Disney World!

Marmalade came in for his regular check-up with his favourite vet, Bruce Fogle, who's been caring for him since he was a kitten. Safe to say his nose still works...he's found the treats immediately!

It's relationships like these that make what we do so rewarding 💙

Dot and Lucy popped in for their follow-up appointment 🩷

Lucy made herself very comfortable on the chair...and may have briefly taken over vet duties. Give us a call if you'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Lucy, we wonder what she'd specialise in?
