We recently saw Alfie at our Ipswich branch for his health check. He sat so well for his photo!

This week is Rabbit Awareness Week, focusing on raising awareness of RVHD2. We're dedicating the whole of June to bunnies and their healthcare, and we are doing FREE rabbit health checks with our vet nurses this month. So call your local surgery to get booked in!

RHVD2 (Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease) is a fatal, but preventable disease through vaccination. This article, written by one of our vets explains the disease and what we can do to keep our rabbits safe. buff.ly/2WLdWDj

At our Felixstowe surgery we take health and wellbeing seriously, and regularly cycle to work, which is good for the environment too!

July is worm awareness month! We'll be sharing worming facts and advice across the month to try and raise awareness of which worms are found in the UK, and how often we should be treating our pets. The video below, from Elanco, shows one way that dogs can pick up roundworms.

A massive congratulations to our Felixstowe Head Nurse Elaine, who recently won this Above & Beyond Award! We can see her below with her certificate, and with Megan, who nominated her for the award.

Rodney, the Boston Terrier and Pancake the cockerpoo came to visit our puppy party recently and had a great time!

This adorable pair are Bowser & Rocco, who recently came to see us for their vaccines!

We've been sent these lovely pictures of chocolate Labradors Bayley and Toddy. Bayley came and saw our out of hours vets not too long ago when she was having breathing difficulties, but she is back to herself now and doing very well.

We are reminding everyone to stay vigilant during the summer months, and reminding that animals should not be left in cars for ANY period of time. Car temperatures increase rapidly even with the windows open, and heatstroke can be fatal.

Finlay came to visit Tricia at Felixstowe recently. He made sure to bring his pocket money for treats too!

Casper recently came into our Ipswich branch for a try on of a few of our soft buster collar range!

We recently had these adorable ferrets in for microchipping. They were all very well behaved!

Today is international cat day! So for all of us that are owned by cats, give them some extra fuss today!

Remember, cars heat up very quickly, even when left in the shade! Try not to take your dogs on any car journey where they may be left unattended this summer, and only travel if it's essential!

We have some pics from one of our recent puppy parties below. They had a great time meeting and socialising! Our puppy parties are held at our Felixstowe surgery every other Wednesday with Head Nurse Elaine, if you would like to attend our next one please call us on 01394 284554.

This is Tabby, who is nearly 13 years old. She came to see Tricia recently for a health check, and made herself at home!

On sunny/hot days, please remember to check the ground before going out, to make sure it's not too hot for your pets to walk on. Use the back of your hand, and if the ground is too hot for your hand, then it's too hot for pets to walk on.
