As we start to finish up here for the day we all would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas! We've been blown away by so many good wishes and generous gifts over the last few days - coffee time is going to be a lot of fun over the next few weeks!

Wow!  What a lovely surprise!  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!

We've had some great news from Surrey Police regarding some of the cases we reported in our recent blog.

As many of you will already be aware there has been a worrying increase in dog thefts recently.

Below you can see today's news brief from Surrey Police - if you can help in any way with their investigations please contact them on the following numbers.  If you could circulate this information to as many as possible that would be a real help.

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!

Dotty Maynard is our brave case of the month with the battle to save her leg.  Strictly speaking Dotty started as a patient in September but her lengthy treatment course has taken her through October and into November so she definitely qualifies as our case of the month!

We've had an update from Anderson Moores who are the specialist centre investigating over the last two years cases of Acute Kidney Injury in dogs - otherwise known as Alabama Rot in the press.

At this time of year we all get excited about fireworks but unfortunately the same cannot be said for our pets.  Here is some helpful advice about how to help them over the next few weeks that was also in our Autumn Newsletter.  If you did not receive a newsletter by email please contact the practice and we will ensure you are added to the mailing list!
