Did you know that from April 6th 2016 the law is changing and you must have your dog microchipped or potentially face a £500 fine?

We must be mad but rather than the Guildford raft race this year we have signed up to do the Guide Dog's Coniston Challenge - all to raise money to sponsor a Guide Dog and change someone's life!

Given the interest in our mole we thought you might like a few interesting facts on these common but seldom seen creatures.  For instance did you know that they inject toxic saliva into earthworms to paralyse them and keep them alive in 'larders' till mealtimes!?!

We have recieved a warning from the Animal Health Trust regarding multiple cases of dogs developing high glucose levels in their urine (known as Fanconi-like syndrome)

“like buses!”
You know that saying about buses; that you spend ages waiting for one and then two come along at the same time? Well sometimes it works like that with clinical cases. Jasper and Buffy were both brought in by their owners within a week or two of each other with similar complaints.

You are what you eat!
We have seen so many patients with upset stomachs over Christmas, we have decided rather than concentrating on a specific patient for our case of the month a general GI Info Article might be interesting and of use!

Well the 12th night has come and gone and sadly all our Christmas decorations have been tidied away for another year! We've been blown away by all the lovely cards and yummy gifts that we've been given this Christmas so a massive thank you to all of you!  Some of the cards have been drawn by clients or star their pets and it just doesn't seem right to consign them to the recycling!  So we thought we'd share some of them with you below in our gallery.  Enjoy!

Many of you will have enjoyed the benefits of having health insurance for your pets. It is worthwhile noting that some recent changes are underway regarding insurance cover for specialist referral treatments.

We've teamed up with the Blue Cross this year to try and help raise some money for all the great charity work they do - not only for dogs and cats but animals of all sizes and shapes.  Best of all we only need your old clothes!

Wow!  A lovely surprise arrived in the post this morning!  We've been nominated by you for this years' Petplan Veterinary Awards in the category for Vet Practice of the Year and Vet of the Year!  This is a public vote so you can imagine how chuffed we are to have been nominated by you all.  Voting closes in January and the awards are in April so we will let you know how we get on!  Wish us luck!
