Watch this website for more information or contact us to find out more. Dozens of people have already signed up and their pets are enjoying comprehensive preventive health with huge savings.

We are here for you whether your are coming to see us for the best preventive health advice around, or to help you with any problems.  You can now register online or make enquiries through this website. You can also arrange appointments, order repeat prescriptions, contact any of the staff with questions and let us know about any concerns you have relating to your pets treatment.

Nurse Club of the Month – June 2019 – Rabbit Club

It is Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) 1st to 9th June therefore to support this, our Nurse Club of the Month during June is RABBIT CLUB! 🐰
This year RAW are raising awareness around Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease 2 (RVHD2). RVHD2 is a new variant of RVHD1 and is often fatal.
Many rabbits in the UK are not vaccinated against this deadly disease and are therefore at risk. We are asking all rabbit owners to make sure that their rabbits are vaccinated against this and other fatal diseases.
If you have any queries or questions regarding your Bunnies Health, Welfare, Feeding, Vaccinations or General Care etc why not contact your closest Vetcare surgery and book a FREE Nurse Club Appointment. We even have a plan for Rabbits on our Vetcare Pet Health Plan Scheme – ask a member of staff for further details including the yearly savings on preventative treatment etc for your Rabbit.

Veterinary HPM Diet

For the optimal health of your pet we stock  Virbac Veterinary HPM Diets. In our opinion this food is better than any other pet food; nutritionally better, superiorly manufactured and amazing value for money. What you feed your pet is the most important thing that contributes to their health, beyond lifestyle and preventative health.You probably take a lot of care with what you eat – why not give the same consideration to your pets?

We have 10% discount on the HPM Range for all puppies, kittens and adult dogs and cats signed up on our Health Plan. Ask at reception.

We also stock the HPM range of prescription diets – carefully formulated to support specific conditions in dogs and cats – including kidney disease, arthritis and obesity.

This month’s Star Patient, George, has probably been to see us more than most patients during the last 4 years, and we hope he will continue to do so for many years to come. Read on to find out how George has coped with with having regular and frequent seizures, learn more about epilepsy and find out how there is so much we can do to be helpful.

It is compulsory for all dogs to be fitted with a microchip. There are many good reasons to have this done – to help you find your lost pet, prove that they are yours and for the Pet Travel Scheme. New puppies should come with chips, but if not, we are here to help.

The BackHome bio-glass mini chips are suitable for use in many species such as dogs, cats, horses or even snakes. They are a versatile and reliable option that causes minimal discomfort to the animal.Please ask for details next time you are at one of our surgeries.

BackHome is a complete service dedicated to keeping you and your pet together. BackHome provides lifelong registration on PETtrac, a reunification database that is dedicated to reuniting missing pets with their owners 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
