** STRAY JACK RUSSELL at MOSSLEY**
We have had a Jack Russell brought into our Mossley practice as a stray this afternoon.
He seems to be an older boy and has white and tan 'rough' fur. He hasn't been neutered.
... Unfortunately, he doesn't have a microchip so we are unable to track any owners but he is wearing an identifiable collar.
Please contact us on 01457 837900. Proof of ownership will be required.

We used McConnells for some years before we lost our beloved Alfie cat recently. They dealt with him brilliantly, given he wasn’t the friendliest. Both surgeries are lovely, both the environment and staff. We received a card with condolences when we lost Alfie and that was just so lovely as well as unexpected. Should we get another animal I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else to have them checked over.

Thanks so much to Ian, Frankie and team for bringing my cat Dali back from near last legs to normal range stability with her Hyper Thyroid and heart issues! She's eating better and much happier! Must be something Ian said! ����she said she won't shout at you as much next time! X and thanks to the ladies on reception they were lovely when I was upset when I was first told she had heart issues.

More hopeful now and she's got a decent quality of life for the foreseeable ��

Thank you to Ian & the team for helping us keep Missie happy and healthy over the past few months whilst she struggled with her back leg. She went to doggy heaven at 15 years of age on Tuesday & Ian and the nurse couldn't have been kinder or more understanding. Missie was an amazing dog and we are heartbroken but we're sure we wouldn't have been able to keep her comfortable for so long without Ian's and the team's help. Thank you for the lovely card also ��

Lovely friendly service and from experience I know they are the best wouldn’t entrust my gorgeous girl with anyone else
