The home teacher – it’s the Easter holidays!!!…..

The Easter holidays were a welcome break from being a teacher I can now become Just Mum! It is a rather unusual feeling of having no plans for the holidays and no where we need to go. Usually Easter weekend is like a challenge you’d find on an episode of the Krypton Factor (you will know what this if you [...]

In dogs this is a bit more breed-dependant with giant dogs reaching their senior years aged around 6, and smaller dogs up to 8 or 9. Now that your pet is one of our senior citizens, we would recommend booking them in for an [...]

Week two of my Stay at home teacher job! And it hasn’t got any easier…..

I feel the kids have become very adept at pushing my buttons and knowing exactly what gets the reaction! Such as answering NO to anything I say sometimes before I have even gotten to the end of the sentence I implemented the snack box for each of them (an idea sourced from Facebook) so they could help themselves to something [...]

Welcome to Westport Veterinary Clinic’s Spring Newsletter!

SPRING POISONS Spring is a lovely time of year, full of new growth and hope; we just need to be mindful that some things related to Spring are not good for our pets!

Pets and SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19)

A recent study done on five cats in China seems to indicate that SARs-CoV-2 can be transmitted via respiratory droplets to other cats. This work is yet to be peer-reviewed to assess how reliable the information is, although experts do think the findings were credible. Importantly the findings DO NOT indicate that cats can spread the disease to humans. Dogs, [...]

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness Month!

Thankfully, it is now widely recognised in humans that mental health is just as important as physical health; the same is true for our pets!   Our lifestyles are becoming more and more hectic and often we expect our pets to be able to keep up, coping with busy households, traffic, fireworks, moving house, other pets and all sorts of other potentially stressful situations.

Thriving in Practice workshop

Recently, we arranged a training day for the whole team about how to maintain resilience in the face of what, as you might imagine, can be a very emotionally demanding job.
