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!

Our tree is up and our Christmas Newsletter came out on Tuesday - packed full of useful tips and info to keep your pet's happy and healthy over this festive period.

Time has been going by so fast recently; we cannot believe that Christmas is already upon us!  During this busy time here are a few tips to help keep your pets safe and sound over the festive period.

Last year you may remember we had a drawing competition and we had such a fantastic number of entries so we thought we would hold it again! Many of you will have seen last years winners proudly displayed at the Barn.

So what can we say about Stan? He is a Bengal by breed but as soft as a marshmallow by nature. He has a sweet tooth and has been known to snaffle the odd slice of cake when his owners are not watching.

With the now dark mornings and a chill in the air all of us would much rather stay in bed but it's time to think of your tortoises who are sensibly getting ready for a long sleep!

What a nice surprise on a wet Monday morning!  We received a certificate in the post today and are thrilled to let you all know that we have achieved the highest status awarded for Veterinary cat care!

Jed is a bouncy, mischievous black Labrador who was rescued by his owners back in 2011 - read his story and see how a nasty tummy upset nearly gave him a heart attack!
Jed is normally full of life and a typically greedy labrador who will eat anything. However prone to the odd tummy upset his owners realised something was very wrong when they woke up and found Jed producing lots of vomit and diarrhoea with large amounts of blood coming from both ends. He was also feeling quite sorry for himself and had completely lost his appetite which was very unusual! They sensibly rushed him straight down to the practice.
