@@@@@@@ RECENT NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR PRACTICE @@@@@@@@

- FREE DENTAL CHECK-UPS FOR DOGS AND CATS -

During March 2010, our practice is offering FREE dental check-ups for dogs and cats as part of the Oral Care Month (sponsored by Pedigree). Four out of five dogs, over the age of 3 years old, have gum disease, making it the most common disease in adult dogs. Oral health is a similar issue in cats. Periodontal disease is also by far the most common oral condition suffered by cats. The majority or cats who are over two years old are believed to suffer from at least some degree of periodontal disease. To make an appointment for your free dog or cat dental check, please ring our practice at 01407 764999.

- THE ANGLESEY PET CLINIC IS EXPANDING -

We are delighted to announce that Monika Paprzycka has joined the practice as assistant veterinary surgeon in September. Monika is settling in well and is enjoying getting to know Anglesey. She is looking forward to meeting you and your pets at your next appointment.

- JUNE 09: NATIONAL VACCINATION AMNESTY -

Thousands of pets die each year from preventable diseases. That's why our veterinary practice is supporting National Vaccination Month, which aims to ensure that every pet is fully protected. In conjunction with Intervet, the Anglesey Pet Clinic is therefore offering a vaccination amnesty for dogs and cats in June 2009. This means that eligible pets can get a primary course of vaccines for the price of a single booster.

- FREE DENTAL CHECK-UPS FOR RABBITS -

From January 24th to 30th 2009, our practice is offering FREE dental check-ups for rabbits as part of Burgess National Rabbit Week. Three out of four rabbits seen by vets are diagnosed with dental problems, which cause pain and distress and can even prove fatal. To make an appointment for your free rabbit dental check, please ring our practice at 01407 764999 (max. 3 rabbits per household).

- STRAY DOGS -

We are delighted to report that the Anglesey Pet Clinic is now one of the official drop-off point for stray dogs found on Anglesey when the Dog Warden's office is closed (i.e. evenings, weekends, bank holidays). Please note that we are not equipped to go out and collect dogs, but merely act as a drop-off point. If you encounter a stray dog in daytime, please contact the Dog Warden to arrange a collection.

- CROSS BOW ATTACK ON CAT -

Late in the evening of a Sunday in September 2008, Sooty, the cat of Mr and Mrs Armstrong, was brought to the Anglesey Pet Clinic as an emergency case. A 15 cm long yellow arrow with a plastic shaft and sharp metal tip was lodged in its side. Luckily for Sooty, the crossbow appeared to have been fired from behind him as the arrow had passed under his skin for several centimeters but not penetrated internally and could be removed without surgery If he had been shot from the side or front the outcome could easily have been fatal. James Rutter, the veterinary surgeon, was able to remove the arrow. We are delighted to report that Sooty is doing fine.
