Our case of the month for July 2014 is Flora an Italian Spinone puppy with a big personality and a rapidly growing body to go with it!

We had great fun on Saturday and are proud to report no swimming this year!

The theme this year was nursery rhymes so Bo Peep and 'her' sheep duly entered from the Barn!

June's case of the month is the amazing Derby Morden - a 14 and a half year old female Staffie who was determined to survive despite her near drowning!

Lisa Milella is a dental specialist veterinary surgeon that has looked after some of our patients at the Barn over the years.  Then she learnt the tragic news last August that she was suffering from Motor Neurone disease.  Most of us at that point would have fallen apart at the seams but Lisa immediately drew up a bucket list of endangered species she wanted to help whilst she still could.

As many of you know last year we entered the Guildford Lions charity raft race and although we won a cup for determination there was more swimming involved than we had planned!

Our case of the month highlights some incredible pictures taken from inside the bowel.  This bowel belongs to a handsome and impressive Siberian cat called Sky. Sky lives as an indoor cat with his brother and is only a youngster at 7 months of age.

As many of you know we are holding an evening presentation on First Aid for your Pets.

This will be in conjunction with Corrine Lisle from For Paws.  The talk will be aimed at giving you practical tips and advice on emergency care for your pets.  Topics will include first line management of wounds, potential toxins and what to do with intestinal upsets, fits and fainting.

We had a great time on Bank Holiday Monday supporting the Guildford Lions with their annual Easter Fayre Dog Show!There were 192 entries on what turned out to be a lovely sunny Spring day!  Best of all the day raised £4000 all for local Guildford Charities which is an amazing sum of money - the most they have ever raised.

Fingers crossed this glorious weather lasts over the Easter weekend!  Especially as on Easter Monday (21st April) we will be running our Fun Dog Show with the Guildford Lions again this year.  All funds raised are going to help local Guildford charities.  The show is being held as before at Shalford Park (GU4 8AA) and registration starts at 11am with classes only costing a £1.00 to enter.  We hope to see you there for a bit of fun and to raise lots of money for these great causes!
