Our recent Senior Pet Health Campaign has been a resounding success. Many pets have visited us for a free health check up, urine test and advice on diet and exercise.
We have diagnosed several conditions where we have been able to offer medication and advice, that will mean an improved quality of life and in some cases a slowing of the progression of disease. In particular we have seen lots of dogs suffering with varying degrees of arthritis. This is a very...

We like to run a series of FREE senior health checks in the middle of winter, as this is often when the wear and tear on an older pet can starts to take its toll. Colder weather makes joints ache and some fitness is lost as walks get shortened which adds to arthritis problems.
In addition pets may be...
Here at the practice we see how a good diet can benefit a pets health, which is why we keep the cost of our Royal Canin Veterinary diets as low as we possibly can, ensuring we are competitive with internet prices. We want our clients to be able to feed their pet a veterinary quality food for not much more (or sometimes less!) than commercially available food. Quite often, feeding a better quality food can mean you actually need to feed your pet less per meal, and therefore can work out...
The end of the year brings many reasons to celebrate and unfortunately this also brings many reasons for your pet to be nervous. If you have a pet suffering from a noise phobia, fireworks on Bonfire Night and New Year’s Eve can make the party season stressful. Preparation is the key when trying to address the problem; the sooner you start the better.
What is noise phobia?
It is an over-exaggerated fear of loud sounds. Whilst some form of response is natural, if...
Fleas are a very common external parasite in cats and dogs. During warming weather, the flea population can explode; a female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day and 1,500 in a lifetime. Left untreated, they can cause excessive itching, skin irritation and damage and even anaemia. They can also affect you and your family too! Fleas don't just live on your pet - it is estimated that 95% of flea eggs, larvae and pupae live in the environment – on beds, rugs, carpets and sofas.
