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!

20th February is Love Your Pet Day and a brilliant reason to set aside extra time to lavish love and attention on your pet! Pets bring us so much joy and make life richer. They are our companions, a listening non-judgmental friend, are pleased to see us, make us laugh, bring comfort in times of sadness or difficulty, make us more active, give us purpose and have a special place in our hearts.
What makes your pet particularly happy? Whether it’s being pampered, going out and about on a walk, interactive play, or snuggling up next to you, see if you can actively schedule in more of what they love today to show your pet how much you care!

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.

Two year old dachshund Frank came in to see Hamish yesterday in this fabulous – and very cosy – pet carrier. Frank is quite an anxious pup, so feels much more secure travelling in his carry bag next to mum when he comes into practice. Definitely Frank’s happy place!
