🐾😻 Lovely Kai stayed for the day with us after having difficulty urinating. Everything we do here is done with Fear Free methods so your pet is as relaxed and cared for as possible.

Here he is having a Fear Free ultrasound with Dr Lottie with the help of liver paste and a tiny bit of sedation! We are also working towards being a certified Cat Friendly practice with International Cat Care. I think we can all agree that Kai was so brave and deserved all the cuddles he had with our team! 😻🐾

✨MEET THE TEAM- MICHAELA, HEAD REGISTERED VETERINARY NURSE✨

“Hello! My name is Michaela and I’ve been working at V4P Walton on Thames since August 2025. I qualified in 2018 and immediately went out to South Africa with the practice owner Marina where all my dreams came true and worked with the amazing wildlife!

I’ve worked in general practices but also spent years at a dog and cat rescue where I found my passion of handrearing kittens and puppies.

I love my role as a veterinary nurse because I get to do a range of skills such as anaesthesia, inpatient care, nurse consults and lab work. I’m currently doing a certificate in Small Mammals and hope to see a lot more rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs etc!

In my free time I’m either away in Africa volunteering, running 10k races, snuggling my handrear kittens or puppies, or walking my tortoises in the garden!”

It’s Vaccination Awareness Month!

🐶🐱🐰 Keep Your Pets Protected with Regular Vaccinations! 💉❤️

Vaccinations are one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your furry family members healthy.
 🐶 Dogs should be vaccinated against potentially fatal diseases such as Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis and Leptospirosis.

🐱 Cats need protection against cat flu (Herpesvirus and Calicivirus), Feline Infectious Enteritis, and Feline Leukaemia Virus.

🐰 Rabbits should be vaccinated against Myxomatosis and Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD1 & RVHD2), which can be life-threatening. We have the new Yurvac vaccination in stock that covers the new strains of RHD!

Even indoor pets can be at risk as diseases can be spread by flying insects, so it’s important to keep vaccinations up to date. Regular health checks with your vet also helps catch potential problems early and yearly boosters maintain protection!

📅 Is your pet due for their vaccinations? Contact us on 01932 255090 to book an appointment!

‼️ Save money and pay monthly with our Complete Care Plan! It includes yearly vaccinations, Veterinary strength flea, tick and worm protection, face-to-face health checks and a free 24/7 vet helpline! Our Complete Care Plan provides your pet with cost-effective preventative care for every life stage. Contact us today to find out more 🐾

✨MEET THE TEAM- DR CHARLOTTE ROCKEY VETERINARY SURGEON✨

“Helloooo my names Lottie - I joined the team as a new graduate vet in September 2025 after spending lots of time here on work experience throughout vet school and even before , whilst I was in sixth form.

One of my favourite parts of the job is getting to know all of our lovely clients and their pets (and, of course, handing out plenty of treats along the way! 🦴). I have a particular interest in dermatology and medicine, and hope to do a certificate at some point in the future.

When I’m not in the practice, you’ll usually find me out exploring with my Labrador, Penny , squeezing in a yoga or Pilates class, or at the gym.

I look forward to meeting many more of you and your furry family members!”

Did you know we offer laparoscopic spays?

Meet Tiga! She wants to show you her day while she came in for her spay 🐾

A laparoscopic spay is a minimally invasive technique that allows your veterinary surgeon to perform the procedure through two or three very small incisions using a tiny camera and specialised instruments. Unlike a traditional spay, which requires a larger abdominal incision, this technique causes less tissue trauma, helping many dogs recover more comfortably.

During a laparoscopic spay, the ovaries are removed, preventing unwanted pregnancies and providing the health benefits associated with neutering.

Some of the benefits of laparoscopic spays include:
* Less post-operative pain and discomfort
* Smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma
* Faster recovery and a quicker return to normal activities
* A lower risk of wound complications

Every dog is different, and our veterinary team will assess whether a laparoscopic spay is the best option for your pet based on their individual needs.

If you’re thinking about neutering your dog or would like to know more about laparoscopic spays, get in touch with our team today! 📞 🐶

Meet Penny 🐾

Penny was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease at the age of 6 which is quite young in a cat. Her family knew that she would need on going care so she comes in annually for a blood test, blood pressure exam and urine checks. She is also on renal wet/dry food 🐱

Her family says she’s doing very well since her diagnosis 6 years ago! 🥰

Penny would love to tell you more about her diagnosis!

✨MEET THE TEAM- DR RUTH ELLIOTT - VETERINARY SURGEON✨

“I began my career with Vets4Pets in 2015 at the Richmond practice and now feel very fortunate to be part of the wonderful team at Walton-on-Thames.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is seeing the unique bond between people and their pets. I aim to make every visit to the practice as calm and stress-free as possible for both animals and their humans.

Having previously run a pet travel business, I’m always happy to help with any questions about travelling with pets.

I have a particular interest in animal behaviour and am currently studying for an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour at the University of Edinburgh.

Outside of work, life is busy with sports days, school fairs, long walks with my dogs, at the allotment, and generally spending as much time outdoors as possible with my family.”

Meet Gandalf 🐾

Gandalf arrived at our practice having been found by one of our wonderful clients. We immediately scanned him for a microchip, but sadly, as is too often the case, he didn’t have one. He was very worried to start with so our team knew they needed to gain his trust.

Having gone through the legal process of trying to locate Gandalf’s owners with no success, it was then time for us to try to rehome him with a loving family who would continue to help him with his confidence. Since being with us, Gandalf has had a bit of a glow-up. We gave him a full health check with one of our vets, a dental surgery to address his severe stomatitis and gingivitis, and he’s also had to have a bit of a haircut.

Gandalf is sadly not a one off, over the years we have had multiple cats handed in with no microchips or with unregistered chips. Did you know it’s now illegal for a cat over the age of 20 weeks to not be microchipped.

We are so happy to say that Gandalf began to very quickly gain our teams trust, especially our Head Vet Nurse Michaela who Gandalf became very close with and allowed many strokes and cuddles!

Gandalf is one lucky boy and has already been given a new home with the very same wonderful client who brought him in ❤️

Thank you for your understanding 🐶🐱

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.”

19/01/2024

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."
