🥹❤️ We go the extra mile for our patients… even if that means extra cuddles! 🐾

Meet Lumi, our gorgeous 1-year-old Labradoodle, enjoying some well-deserved post-op snuggles with our Registered Veterinary Nurse, Millie, after her spay with us recently. 🐶💕

Because caring for your pet doesn't stop when surgery is over. From expert veterinary care to a little extra love and reassurance, we want every patient to feel safe, comfortable and cared for. 🩺❤️

🐾 Did you know? Spaying prevents unwanted pregnancies and eliminates the risk of pyometra, a potentially life-threatening womb infection. The right timing can vary between dogs, so it's always worth chatting with your vet!

Now, be honest… how could you possibly say no to that face?! 🥹👇

🍂🌰 AUTUMN PET HAZARD: CONKERS 🌰🍂

Conker season is here! 🍁 But those shiny brown seeds can be dangerous to our four-legged friends.

🐶 CONKERS & DOGS DON'T MIX!
Conkers contain a toxin called aesculin and can cause poisoning if eaten. They can also cause a potentially serious intestinal blockage. 🚨

👀 SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
🤢 Vomiting
💩 Diarrhoea
💧 Excessive drooling
😣 Abdominal pain
🍽️ Reduced appetite
😵 Wobbliness or restlessness
💪 Muscle tremors

Symptoms can develop within a few hours, but may sometimes be delayed.

🐾 KEEP YOUR PET SAFE:
🍂 Keep dogs away from conkers on walks.
🍂 Don't allow them to play with, chew or fetch them.
🍂 Keep scavenging dogs closely supervised and practise “leave it”.
🍂 Check your garden and remove fallen conkers.
🍂 Remember cats can investigate and play with them too!

❤️ SEE AN AREA FULL OF CONKERS? Give fellow dog walkers a heads-up - it could help prevent a pet from eating one!

🚨 THINK YOUR PET HAS EATEN A CONKER?
Don't wait for symptoms. Contact your vet as soon as possible. If your pet becomes unwell, treat it as an emergency.

❌ Never make your pet vomit unless specifically instructed by a veterinary professional.

🐱 Behind the scenes of a routine cat spay 🩺

A spay may be a routine procedure for our team, but that doesn’t mean we take anaesthesia or patient monitoring lightly.

Here, Veterinary Surgeon Claudio is performing a routine spay while Registered Veterinary Nurse Millie closely monitors our patient throughout the procedure. They’re also helping train our Veterinary Care Assistant Ollie in the essentials of caring for patients under anaesthetic 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🐾

Claudio has a particular interest in general anaesthesia and patient care, and one of the most important parts of any anaesthetic is continuous monitoring.

Our multi-parameter monitor allows us to keep a close eye on things such as:
🫁 CO₂ levels
💨 Oxygen levels
❤️ Heart rate
🩸 Blood pressure
🌡️ Temperature

But technology isn't the only thing we rely on. Our veterinary team also carries out regular physical checks throughout the entire procedure, from the moment anaesthesia begins through to recovery.

Every patient responds differently to anaesthesia and surgery, so we continuously assess how they're doing and can adjust their anaesthetic accordingly. It's all about giving each individual patient the safest and most appropriate care possible ❤️

We're also proud to be an RCVS development and training practice, helping the next generation of veterinary professionals build their skills and confidence in real clinical situations.

🐾 Did you know about pyometra? It’s a potentially life-threatening infection of the womb that can affect un-spayed female pets, including dogs, cats and rabbits (and other species too). Spaying can prevent pyometra and reduce the risk of certain mammary and reproductive tumours too ❤️🐶🐈🐰

Routine doesn't mean we stop paying attention. Every patient matters 💙🐾

🍄🐾 COULD YOU SPOT A DANGEROUS MUSHROOM? 🍄🐾

Autumn means crisp walks, colourful leaves… and mushrooms popping up in our parks, gardens and woodland! 🍂
But could you tell which ones could be dangerous to your pet? 👀
Take a look through our graphic and see how many you recognise!

🚨 SPOILER: ALL OF THE MUSHROOMS SHOWN ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

🍄 Amanita phalloides
🍄 Amanita virosa
🍄 Cortinarius rubellus
🍄 Conocybe filaris
🍄 Clitocybe rivulosa
🍄 Amanita muscaria

Some toxic mushrooms can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, drooling, weakness, wobbliness, tremors, seizures and even organ damage. Some toxins can also cause delayed symptoms, so your pet may initially seem completely fine.

🐶🐱 KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE:
✔️ Keep pets away from wild mushrooms.
✔️ Check your garden regularly and remove mushrooms.
✔️ Keep scavenging dogs on a lead or closely supervised in areas where mushrooms are growing.
✔️ Practise a good “leave it” command.
🍄 Don't rely on identifying a mushroom yourself - some poisonous species can be extremely difficult to distinguish from harmless ones.

🚨 THINK YOUR PET HAS EATEN A MUSHROOM?
Don't wait for symptoms. Contact your vet immediately for advice. If possible, take a photo or safely collect a sample to help with identification.

❤️ Share this post with other pet owners to help keep our pets safe this autumn!
Did you recognise any of the mushrooms? 👀🍄

🐾💚 Happy Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Day! 💚🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the wonderful reception team who are often the first friendly faces you see when you walk through our doors! 🥰

A huge thank you to Nikki, Lisa, Julia, Helena, Kyla and Amy for all the hard work you do every single day to help keep our practice running smoothly. We really appreciate everything you do! 💚

Our veterinary receptionists do so much more than answer the phone and book appointments. From welcoming clients and their pets, answering questions and organising appointments, to managing enquiries, liaising with our clinical teams, processing insurance claims and helping everything behind the scenes run as smoothly as possible, they are an essential part of our practice. 🐶🐱🐰

They often have to juggle a hundred things at once while remaining calm, caring and compassionate, especially when pets and their owners need us most. 🥹💕

So today is all about saying THANK YOU to our fantastic reception team! 👏💚

Nikki, Lisa, Julia, Helena, Kyla and Amy, we’re so lucky to have you! 🐾💚

🐾💙 Meet Truffles! 💙🐾

This gorgeous 12-week-old Siamese cross came in for his first vaccination and microchip, and he was an absolute SUPERSTAR! 😻

After being very brave for both, Truffles enjoyed some well-deserved cuddles with our Registered Veterinary Nurse, Millie. 🥹💕

And the best part? He didn’t even react to his vaccine or microchip! What a brave little boy. 🥰

📍 Microchipping is so important for helping lost or missing cats find their way home. Since June 2024, it has been a legal requirement for all owned cats over 20 weeks old in England to be microchipped.

So, getting it done while they’re tiny like Truffles means they’ll hopefully never even remember having it done! 😂🐱 Much easier than trying to convince a fully grown cat that the scary vet is actually their friend... 👀

Isn’t Truffles just adorable? 😍 Give him a ❤️ if you agree!

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
