📢 Lymington Branch Update! 🐾

We’re excited to announce that we are now able to carry out surgeries at our Lymington branch! ✨

We are currently able to offer:
🔹 Cat spays
🔹 Cat castrates
🔹 Routine dog castrates
🔹 Ear flushes
🔹 A**l sac flushes

Subject to staffing availability, we may also be able to perform:
🔹 Simple mass removals
🔹 Tail or toe amputations
🔹 Stitch-ups
🔹 Biopsies
🔹 Ultrasound scans (for well-behaved or sedated patients)

We’re hoping to expand this list even further in the future! 💚

Please note: as Lymington is a smaller branch with fewer staff members than our Christchurch hospital, we are currently unable to operate on patients weighing over 25kg or those with underlying health conditions.

If you have any questions about whether your pet is suitable for a procedure at Lymington, please get in touch with our team 📞🐾

This is a more recent email I received from NFDC regarding booster vaccines.
I hope you will now understand why I am asking that all boosters are administered prior to the expiry of the previous booster.
What I don’t understand is why local vets don’t seem to know about it and other catteries don’t seem to know about it.
I do apologise to my clients if this is causing confusion between what I am telling them and what their vets are telling them.
I have asked that NFDC look into this as there is clearly a lack of communication between those that know and those that need to know.
Thank you for your understanding.

This is the email I received from NFDC confirming ‘no gaps allowed’ between vaccines.

It has been brought to my attention that other catteries and vets are still advising cat owners that late annual boosters are acceptable as long as they are administered no later than three months past the due date.
THIS IS NOT CORRECT.
Local Authorities who issue the boarding licences require all booster vaccines to be administered BEFORE the due date. For example, if your cat’s vaccine was last administered on 6th June 2025, the next booster must be administered no later than 6th June 2026.
I am merely following the rules under my boarding licence.
I have had to turn away potential clients because they are not being made aware of these rules by vets and other catteries.
I have requested a letter from the environmental department at the NFDC confirming the vaccine rules, which I will post on my FB page and website so that cat owners will see that the vaccine rules do indeed apply TO ALL CATTERIES.
If your cat’s booster vaccine is due soon, please make sure it is administered BEFORE the 12 months are up!!
Thank you. 🐈‍⬛
