Meet 16 year old Polly, who is owned by Grace, one of our amazing client care assistants.

Polly was adopted from Wood Green shelter at just 8 weeks of age and she fit into the palm of a hand.

Now she is older, she has been visiting Village Vet regularly as she had dropped some weight. We did some blood tests which were all normal so her diet has been changed and now she has gained 300g and is back to normal.

We just love her Whiskers!!

Swipe to see Polly as a Kitten

Meet one of our lovely dogs, Betty. She visits us often at Village Vet Cottenham. Betty's owners wanted to share a little video of her with us all.

'Betty is asking me or telling me she is tired. On this occasion, we were in Edinburgh and at 11pm prompt, it seems she likes to go to bed. It took us a wee while to understand. The thing is, she would like us to go to bed as well.
Betty is a star of a dog and we are so very happy with her. She never barks when she is speaking to you; it's always quiet sounds and repeats. Thought you might like to see one of your patients in action.'

Who else has a pet who likes to tell them when they want something?

What's your secret for getting your pet to take their tablets?

Gloria loves peanut butter! Crunchy peanut butter can help hide the tablets' texture.

Menopause Awareness Month - Pain

Chronic pain in midlife is the International Menopause Society's 2026 key theme.

In the menopause, hormones that once helped with pain and inflammation drop, meaning new pain develops, and existing chronic pain worsens. This affects a whopping 50-70% of menopausal people.

In veterinary practice, it is commonplace for staff to have chronic pain, such as bad backs and slipped discs from years of lifting and awkwardly-positioned restraining of larger pets, or arthritis worsened by years of fine but firm hand movements in surgery, or long days standing up in operating theatres and consult rooms.

These are just a couple of the many ways the chronic pain associated with menopause can be especially difficult when working in a veterinary clinic.

Help us get people aware and talking. What are some overlooked things that you or your loved ones have found painful since the menopause?
