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.

Another #Heatwave is on its way! ⚠️🌡☀️
As the temperatures across the UK start to climb again and with an amber "extreme heat" alert issued by the Met Office, we want to remind owners to be mindful of their pets during the hot days.
Heat stroke can affect many animals, so we urge pet owners to learn the key signs to look for.
Keep our helpful infographic to hand to ensure you know the signs of heatstroke.

🐇 🐇 🐇
In the warm summer months, the risk of flystrike increases amongst our rabbit population.
Flystrike occurs when a particular type of fly lays its eggs on or around a rabbit's rear end, which hatch into maggots. These maggots then begin to eat the rabbit's flesh, often with fatal results.
TYPICAL SIGNS OF FLYSTRIKE INCLUDE…
⚠️ Not drinking or eating
⚠️ Lethargic and noticeably quiet
⚠️ A strong smell from their living area
⚠️ Digging into a small corner of their living area
⚠️ Open sores or visible maggots on the skin
TO PREVENT YOUR RABBIT FROM GETTING FLYSTRIKE, YOU CAN…
🐰 Examine your rabbit for symptoms daily
🐰 Clean your rabbit's living space regularly and ensure normal faeces are being passed
🐰 If your rabbit has a wound, keep it dry and clean
🐰 Speak with your vet about the preventative treatments available
🐰 Feed your rabbit a fibrous diet that consists mainly of hay or grass to aid their digestive process, which will prevent droppings from sticking to their fur
🐰 We advise supporting your rabbit to maintain a happy and healthy weight, as overweight rabbits will find it harder to clean themselves properly
Please get in touch with us immediately if you suspect your rabbit has the condition. 🦟
