We love supporting team members to broaden their knowledge in areas of particular clinical interest. Many of you will know our vet Selenia who is holder of a postgraduate certificate in small animal dentistry. Last weekend, Seli attended the British Veterinary Dental Association’s 2026 Congress in London for two days specifically dedicated to learning more about pet dental and oral health. Lectures covered a diverse range of topics from effective pain management and handling difficult extractions to plaque prevention, anaesthesia considerations and useful protocols for exotics dentistry. Topics in the advanced lecture stream were equally as diverse, and there was even a session on how to build your own 3D printing lab for surgical planning! We look forward to hearing all about Seli’s trip when she’s back in tomorrow!

With the second week in February traditionally recognising National Tooth Ache Day, it’s important to remember that, just like us, our furry friends can get tooth ache too! If you notice your pet has smelly breath or is drooling, chewing on one side of their mouth, pawing at their mouth, eating more slowly or choosing to eat wet food over dry biscuit, it could be that they are suffering from some kind of dental or oral issue. There are many causes of dental and periodontal pain. These can include inflamed gums, tooth decay, broken or fractured teeth, damaged enamel, painful growths and, in cats, resorptive lesions, where teeth decay from the root upwards. Ouch! If you notice any of these symptoms, please do book your pet in for a dental examination with a vet as it’s likely your pet is in significant discomfort.
Even if there are no obvious indications of a problem, regular pet dental health check ups are really important. Did you know periodontal disease (inflammation and infection of the tissues supporting the teeth) is one of the most common health issues in pets? And that pets can be really good at hiding pain?
We ideally recommend 3-6 monthly checks for pets and at very least, once a year. Give us a call on 01922 411755 to arrange your pet’s dental check up. Get in touch too to book in for advice on oral hygiene routines to keep dental and periodontal disease at bay.

We were delighted to welcome our Registered Veterinary Nurse Charlotte Radjenovic back from maternity leave earlier this month. Charlotte will be working three days a week in order to balance work with looking after her little boy Colby. We’ve loved having Charlotte in practice on ‘keeping in touch’ days whilst she’s been off – a big help to us, and for Charlotte, it’s meant coming back into practice after maternity leave hasn’t been so much of a change. She’s also been working towards completing her Veterinary Nurse Consulting Certificate over the last 12 months, and will be able to put new learning around preventative care and chronic and acute conditions to great use in the consult room!

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our ‘Give a Pet a Christmas Dinner’ campaign which ran throughout December. We received a huge number of donations to help charities support dogs and cats in local shelters waiting for their forever homes. You donated an incredible 673 tins, sachets and trays of wet food, just shy of 40kg of dry food, 90 packets of treats and nearly 100 pet toys, not to mention stacks of pet accessories including pet beds, blankets, towels, leads, harnesses, bowls, brushes, puppy pads and more!
Cat donations have been shared between 4 local cat charities. These are the doggy donations which were dropped off at Birmingham Dogs Home in Coven at the beginning of this week. There were so many that they filled the empty collection bin in the foyer and we had to stack the rest of the donations at the sides!
Pet charities rely on donations like these to undertake the great work they do looking after homeless pets in need. They are hugely grateful for your amazing kindness and generosity.
