It’s hard to believe Christmas is only a couple of days away! Here is our Lead Nurse Cody getting into the Christmas spirit with her festive-themed theatre cap! Look out for some of our team sporting reindeer antlers if you’re popping in during the next couple of days!
387 Veterinary Centre will be open tomorrow (Christmas Eve) until 2pm, at which point the practice will close until 8am on 27th December. We’re then open as normal until New Year’s Eve when we’ll once again have an early finish ahead of the New Year’s Day which we also all take as holiday. Normal service resumes completely from 2nd January 2025!
If you have any concerns about your pet‘s health while we are closed, all clients have free access to Vidivet, a 24/7 service offering triage advice from a qualified vet. Great if you have any meds queries or if you are unsure whether your pet needs to see a vet urgently. Check out communications from the practice for information on how to access if you haven’t already downloaded the app. Our Advice 24/7 page on our website provides lots of additional information on assessing your pet’s health.
If you do have a pet emergency, please continue to call the practice on 01922 411755 and follow the answer machine instructions.

With Halloween at the end of this month (and, dare we say it, shops getting ready for Christmas!), chocolates are currently on sale in even more abundance! If you are buying in for trick or treating, please be sure to keep chocolatey treats well away from inquisitive canines. Milk and dark chocolates are made with cocoa solids which contain theobromine, a substance toxic to dogs. And the darker the chocolate, the higher the concentration of theobromine. The severity of chocolate poisoning depends on how much chocolate your dog has eaten, how big your dog is and the concentration of cocoa solids.
We strongly advise contacting your vet for advice if you know your dog has eaten chocolate. It’s really helpful if you have the wrapper with the ingredients list to hand. Here are Rolo and Mars who were in to see us recently for this very reason. We were able to act quickly and make them sick to prevent the toxins from taking effect. Even though they are fabulously named, no chocolate-eating allowed!
Use our poisons checker on our 387 Vets’ Advice 24/7 page for guidance on chocolate poisoning and a whole range of other toxins too.
And don’t forget, registered clients can use our VidiVet service to touch base with a vet for free. Great for concerns out of hours if you are unsure whether your pet needs to be seen as an emergency.
We wish all pets a happy, healthy chocolate-free Halloween!

Huge congratulations to our RVN Sharon’s husband Mark who completed a 150 mile circular cycle ride at the weekend in aid of Kats Cradle. Mark cycled from Willenhall to The Horseshoe Pass in Denbighshire with colleagues from The Walsall Roads Cycling Club to help raise money for the Coven based charity. Kats Cradle bring feline strays and re-homes to our practice for general health care and emergency treatment.
Thank you so much Mark for all the training and preparation that went into your fundraising cycle and not least for the event itself. We’re glad the sun shone for you and that the conditions were kind.
