We’ve registered hundreds of new puppies since the start of the pandemic. I am a little afraid, at times, that I might see some of these dotes back for undesirable behavioural issues before long. Socialisation of puppies, particularly with children, needs to be done very carefully with a lot of time commitment to getting it […]
One of our CCTV cameras catches sunrise every morning. Beautiful! The R401 is a treacherous road for ice. If you’re travelling to us please take care. We don’t mind if you’re late, as long as you’re safe. The locals know the black ice spots on our road, and we all drive like snails in this […]
Every year we have a little Christmas miracle case. This year it’s Luna, a frightened, paralysed stray kitten. Luna was brought to us with a sad history. She was collapsed and her front limbs were completely paralysed. She had been found in a ditch. Initially she was perfect, but she grew weak after two days, […]
We have a very unusual case last week. A farm doggy got access to a sheep drug called ivermectin. There was a dented canister and we’re pretty sure he licked some. No critical comments please! Accidents happen all the time; and his owners were kind enough to let us share his case, hoping that might […]
Teddy had his Christmas dinner early. Except it wasn’t dinner. It was a big glove. And it got stuck. He didn’t tell anyone; but he started to feel funny, and decided he wouldn’t get out of his basket. His tummy hurt. He presented yesterday with a very sad face. His owners had no idea what […]

When we brought Blackie inside; I was immediately worried. He was pouring blood. He had severed an artery and […]

Brexit is fast approaching. For any pet owners travelling to or from the UK or Northern Ireland in 2021 it’s advisable to get a course of rabies vaccination now and get rabies serology testing done at an external laboratory. This allows time for vaccine failures or failed results. It’s best to get a course of […]
These little puppers ran into trouble being born; so we had to perform an emergency c-section to save them and their mum. Here they are safe and sound little beauties. They’re just 20 minutes old and giving each other kisses. They’re looking for mammy. She’s safe and well recovering in some warm blankets. They’ll get […]
