Their check can cover growth, weight and nutrition, vaccinations, behaviour and socialisation, alongside a full physical examination.

You can also get practical coaching on things like teeth brushing, ear cleaning, and nail clipping.

For puppies up to 2 years old and kittens up to 1 year.

🐾 Rocky’s onion scare! 🧅

This cheeky little Tibetan Terrier, Rocky, was brought to us over the summer after he’d been playing in the garden and a piece of onion had fallen onto the ground.

Rocky’s owner couldn’t find the onion and, knowing that onions can be toxic to dogs, contacted us straight away.

Rocky came into the practice looking very sorry for himself! We gave him an injection to make him vomit, but unfortunately there was no sign of the onion — just some rather undigested food! 😂

Thankfully, Rocky remained well, made a full recovery and was able to head home a few hours later. ❤️

It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to something potentially toxic. If you think your pet may have eaten something they shouldn’t, please contact your vet as soon as possible. 🐶🐱

Well done to Rocky’s owner for acting so quickly! 👏

Do you know which vaccinations your cat needs, and when they need them?

Vaccinations help protect cats against serious infectious diseases and are an important part of routine preventative care. Keeping them up to date also gives your veterinary team a chance to review your cat’s health and make sure their vaccination schedule is right for them.

Our helpful vaccination guide explains what to expect and when your cat may need their vaccinations.
