The K Laser has been added to our range of treatment options providing vets with a non-invasive, non ‘medicinal’ way of treating some conditions.

The K laser uses specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.

Ash Eats a Ball

Young Ash got himself into a bit of a pickle after eating a rubber ball. Thankfully his owners acted quickly and rushed him straight down to our 24-hour hospital at Edison Park.

Our sponsorship of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People during 2017 has come to an end. With your help we raised a total of £2115 and hopefully raised their profile with those who were unaware of their wonderful work. It is always sad when our sponsorship comes to and end so we have sponsored a puppy called 'Libby' and we will follow her throughout 2018.

We were very flattered when Petplan asked us if they could film their national TV advert and follow some of our special heartwarming stories.

At some point it’s likely we may have to make a decision and act in the best interest of our pets concerning the end of their life. Sadly, our pets have much shorter lives than us and when illness, injury, or old age affects their quality of life we may need to start thinking about letting them go, peacefully. It’s important to talk it through and be guided by your vet. It helps to plan and be prepared. Euthanasia offers a peaceful and painless end to our pet’s life. Sometimes people use the phrase ‘put to sleep’ or ‘put down’, but euthanasia is the correct term.</p

A Sticky Situation 

People traditionally throw sticks for their dogs but many are unaware of how dangerous this can be.

Purring is an extraordinary sound and it isn’t exactly clear how cats do it. Not only domestic cats purr – many of the larger members of the cat family can also generate this vibration.

Don’t forget to pay particular close attention to your smaller domestic pets during the warm weather.
