April 2019

Hope you all escaped April Fools’ Day.  The Joys of Easter are upon us and spring is here – hopefully with warmer weather!

We have recently invested in a new practice management computer system and this will greatly enhance the way we are able to communicate with you. We have also updated our laboratory equipment at all four Vetcare surgeries so we can now run a whole range of tests within minutes, to help us resolve your pets’ problems quickly.

In March we launched our all-inclusive Pet Care Plan for Dogs, Cats, Puppies, Kittens and Rabbits, with monthly instalments for all preventive health needs for all pets, and a great set of discounts on services and products. 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 or contact any of the staff with questions.

Nurse Club of the Month – April 2019 – Kitten Club

If you have or are planning to get a new kitten make a FREE appointment at our Nurse led Kitten Club. Raising a healthy happy Kitten takes lots of time and commitment and we can help you do the very best for your new family. Learn all about the best diets for your new friend (and the world of processed food), Vaccinations, neutering, Insurance, ID Chips play, fleas, ticks and worms etc.

Toilet training might be at the top of your list. We can also advise on how to offer the best environment for House cats. Make a list of questions and we will try to answer everything. To book your appointment, please give the surgery a call today and our team will get you booked in.

Children are welcome at our Nurse Clubs and it is a great opportunity for them to learn more. We offer heaps of great information and you also go away with a FREE goodie bag. The clubs also offer an excellent opportunity for our Nurses to develop their relationships with you and your pet.

Our Nurses run many Clubs – for Puppies and Kittens, Junior and Senior Pets, Overweight Pets, Small Furries and Rabbits. There is also a Diabetes Club, a Dental Club, an Arthritis/Pain Management Club and a Sound Phobia (Scary Sounds) Club.

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.

Star Patient February 2019

This month’s Star Patient is actually an organisation. There are so many charities and organisations that work tirelessly to ensure the welfare of animals, and this month’s story is just one of many, to exemplify the teriffic work that goes on, often unseen, by so many loving people. We hope this draws more attention to animal welfare and helps to raise the profile of some of these charities.

If you want to find out more about animal charities that we support, or wish to make a donation to one of them, then feel free to contact your local Vetcare surgery.

Most cases that we see are interesting and in many we manage to save or extend lives. We like to choose a case each month to tell you about. If you have a pet that you would like to be a ‘Star’ contact us and let us know. High quality images will be really useful too.

Your story doesn’t just need to involve veterinary cases – we are also interested in other tales – who have you rescued and why? How has a pet helped you and your family?

Backhome Minichips

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.

Just one application/implant for a lifetime of protection.  It’s not just a microchip. 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.

So what are you waiting for – come and have your Backhome, Biotec Microchip fitted for only £12.50. Call to make an appointment with the Nurse or ask the Vet when you are next at the Surgery. Help us to help you become re-united with your pet should they go missing.
