Sadly on the 17th July a white cat with tabby patches and a white tipped tail was brought into us it was involved in a RTA and is deceased. Unfortunately the cat is not microchipped so we are currently unable to trace its owner. It was wearing a black collar with large yellow clip if anyone is missing their cat. The cat was found near to the Princess Alice Hospice shop in walton on thames.
** WARNING - slightly graphic photo **
Grass seed season is in full swing so it is very important to check your dogs feet and ears after every walk. Unfortunately, grass seeds are easy to miss and can migrate quickly in between toes and down ear canals.
Today we had the lovely Louie visit us due to his swollen paw. Once anaesthetised we could see the offending grass seed and were able to remove it. I'm sure Louie is feeling a lot happier now!
... ** Grass seed update! **
Apparently, it's not just dogs feet and ears you need to be checking but also cat's eyes! Here is Jimmy with a grass seed lodged in his eye. Thankfully he was a good boy and allowed us to remove it without the need for sedation.

Paddy visited us today because he was struggling to eat and had smelly breath. Once under the anaesthetic we could see why!
Before and after. Scaling the teeth enables us to examine them better, Paddy then needed 4 of the teeth in this picture out due to root abscesses.
Paddy is feeling a lot happier now, here he is showing off his pearly white, what a good boy 💙
We are actively seeking an enthusiastic qualified veterinary nurse to join our practice with prospects of becoming head nurse.
Here is Dexter look at that smile how cute is he we wish him a quick recovery from his op today.
Here is Bailey with his favourite vet it was lovely to see him in for a check up
Did you know that 5 dogs a day get stolen?
According to new analysis by Direct Line, there was an average of five reported dog thefts in the UK each day in 2017. This number has risen by 6.8% from 2016.
How to prevent your dog from being stolen?
... - Be wary of strangers that ask too many questions - Vary your walking patterns - Microchip your dog
What to do if your pet is stolen?
- Immediately report a missing dog to the microchip databases Petlog, PETtrac and Identibase. They’ll be able to notify you when your pet is found. - If you believe your dog has been stolen, report the crime to the police and ask for a crime reference number. This will make it easier to find out about the precise nature of their investigation. - Put up posters in the local area. Familiarising the neighbourhood with your dog will make it more likely to be found by a stranger. - Register your missing pet on a dedicated website, such as Animal Search UK. Again, this will make it easier for members of the public to find and help return your dog. - Post on social media to raise awareness, especially any local community groups that can share your post and help spread the news. - Retrace your steps if your dog went missing during a walk. You may stumble across clues as to where they might have headed. - Be sure to search common hiding places, surrounding gardens and the local neighbourhood. Ask anyone you see about your dog. - Check with the council. The government has a handy feature which allows you to search for missing dogs.

Did you know not securing your pet in the car is against the law?
Not securing your pet is clearly dangerous but it could also mean an insurance claim will be rejected if you do have an accident.
Car insurance policies may not specifically mention animals or pets in cars but if you're found to have broken the law behind the wheel you can invalidate your cover
... Why does my dog need restraining? - Dogs can be a distraction - Accidents do happen and unrestrained dogs are more likely to injure themselves as well as injure you. - After a crash an unrestrained dog may be scared or even aggressive, especially if they are in pain and confused.
With a whole range of products available it can feel overwhelming to know what to purchase for your dog.
If you would like advice on how to secure your pet safely for travel please contact our nurses on 01932 248941.

*Changes to Pet Travel in the event of a ‘No-Deal’ Brexit*
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has advised that should the UK leave the EU next year without a deal, there would be important implications for pet owners wishing to travel overseas with their animals from 30 March 2019.
... What you need to know and do:
*You can still travel to Europe with your pet whatever the outcome of Brexit. However you may need to take some extra steps in the event of a no deal.
* If you plan to travel after 29 March 2019 the Government will recommend you contact your vet practice at least four months in advance to check what you need to do.
FOR EXAMPLE - If you wish to travel to the EU on 30 March 2019, you should discuss requirements with your vet as soon as possible and by 28 November 2018 at the latest.
* Pets must be vaccinated against rabies before they travel and have a blood test to demonstrate sufficient levels of antibody against rabies.
*Blood tests need to be carried out 30 days after vaccination and a minimum of three months before travel.
