Our fantastic staff are friendly and approachable and are always available as a source of knowledge and information. And our duty of care means your pet comes first, no matter what.
Parking
There is access to the front of the practice through our front door, please be aware it is locked for security so please ring the bell. Parking is limited outside of the practice, however, there are some pay and display spaces on Ellenborough Road (just off Lordship Lane, next to the primary school) which is a 5-minute drive from the practice. Parking is free after 6:30 pm in the residential bays on Tintern road and on Saturdays.
If you are coming to us in an emergency, you may park directly outside the practice in the loading bay while we help transport your pet into the practice.
Please do not park on the double yellow lines, electric charging points or residential bays as you could face a fine from the council. If you have any other questions or need some more help please call the practice directly on 0208 881 0240.

Are you and your pet prepared for bonfire night? 🎆🎇🧨
Loud bangs, pops and bright flashing lights can be very stressful for pets and their owners, so we wanted to share a few measures you can put in place to help your pet, including a great pet playlist, which you can play to help distract your pet from the frightful fireworks.
While fireworks light up the skies, we advise you to:
🏠 Stay at home with your pet
💧 Ensure they have access to fresh water
🚪 Close curtains, blinds, windows and keep doors closed
🎪 Provide a safe space with bedding for your pet to snuggle in, and consider bringing small animals inside.
CClassic FM in collaboration with the RSPCA, has put together a list of pet classics, a special programme to help the weekend >> ow.ly/4N7T50Q3Qwq

Have you got pet insurance?
There are lots of benefits to having your pet insured, such as:
✔️ Peace of mind
✔️ Prompt treatment
✔️ Claims could be paid directly to your vet
✔️ Other unexpected costs could be covered
✔️ Decisions are not based on finances.
Of course, we hope you'll never need to use it, but it's worth knowing the benefits.

📽️ Black cats are popular in films
🐱 Black cats were gods in ancient Egypt
⚓ Sailors associate black cats with good luck
⚫ There are more black cats than any other colour

KEEP YOUR PET SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN 👻🎃👹
Halloween can be a ‘spooktacular’ time of year for many, but it can be a stressful experience for pets. Here are some helpful tips to keep your pets safe and happy during the Halloween season:
🐶 Spend time reassuring your pets if you plan to dress up for Halloween. Masks and makeup may be enjoyable for you, but your pets may find them scary if they don't recognise you.
🚪 With the constant opening and closing of doors for trick-or-treaters, ensure your pets are kept from potential escape routes. It's also important to have your pets micro-chipped in case the unexpected happens.
🎆 If bright lights or loud noises are anticipated, provide a safe and comfortable space for your pets to retreat to.
🍬 Keep sweet treats out of reach, including chocolate, sweets, and anything containing xylitol.
🎃 Decorations have become a big part of Halloween; however, curious pets can sometimes get into trouble with them. To ensure your pets stay safe, keep open flames, small decorative lights, and decorations out of their reach.
We hope you have a safe and 'fang-tactic' Halloween, but should you need us, we will be here for you and your pet.

GETTING YOUR PET READY FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME CHANGES!
We're all looking forward to that extra hour of sleep when the clocks go back on Saturday 29 October, and lighter morning, but have you considered the impact on your pets? 💤🌞🌔
🕰️When the time changes, it can cause psychological and physiological stress for your pet due to changing their routine.
We suggest gradually changing their schedule in the days leading up to the clock change to make the transition easier.
🦮🦴Start a week before and adjust their feeding, walking, and waking times by ten minutes each day. While changing, it's not uncommon for pets to have accidents indoors, but it's important to remain patient with them as they don't understand the reason for the time change. To ease your pet into the new schedule, delay their routine by an hour over several days.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
