Food Donation

Many Thanks to the Staff and Clients of Pet's Choice Veterinary Centre for all the food and toys donated for the strays and abandoned dogs in our care.

Sadly the kennels are overflowing with dogs so, anyone who is thinking about adding a new dog to the family please come and see us.

Best Wishes for 2007 to all concerned.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs M Burrell

The new grooming salon under Jacqueline Williams is now completed and open for business since the 5th December 2006.

An open day was held on Sunday 10th December 2006 for clients and members of the public to come and have a look at the new salon and have a look at the veterinary practice. The open day also enabled people to gain freindly advice and information from both services.

It is now possible to combine your grooming appointment with a veterinary appointment, which saves a lot of time for you and less stress for your pet. It is possible to organise this by either ringing Jacqueline of Groom Masters on 07879 440927/01952 670538 or calling Pet's Choice on 01952 201369.

Today Shropshire Cat Rescue came and collected the Christmas presents donated by our clients and the practice.

At the moment the cat rescue centre have a lot of cats in and if any one can offer a loving home please have a look at their website www.shropshirecatrescue.co.uk

We would like to give a big THANK YOU to the clients who donated presents for these poor cats.

Sam, an elderly Springer Spaniel, was recently brought in to us with multiple bite wounds to the neck and shoulders. These wounds had already become infected and the underlying and surrounding muscles were bruised.

The wounds were inflicted when Sam was attacked by two large dogs whilst out on a walk with his owner. The other dogs were off their leads and not under control by their owner. They not only attacked Sam but also tried to bite the owner and his other dog.

We cleaned and flushed the wounds and started Sam on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory treatment immediately. We saw Sam 3 days later and the wounds were already looking a lot better and he is now on his way to a full recovery.

This type of incident emphasizes how important it is that dogs are kept on lead or under the owners control at all times when in public places.
