We’re delighted to welcome Amy Hardy who joined the 387 team as a new student nurse just last week. Amy is no stranger to the veterinary industry. Her previous job was working for five years as a veterinary receptionist in small animal practice in the West Midlands. Great with client care, Amy also loved meeting everyone’s pets and, looking to expand her skills portfolio, was keen to move into nursing, helping and observing the nursing team as much as she could. Amy’s passion and determination to become a veterinary nurse was clear at her interview for our student nurse vacancy and she’s already doing a brilliant job on wards. She’ll soon be starting to help on reception on Saturdays and at other times as needed, so do say hello when you’re next in!

We always recommend pets bring a little day bag to include a blanket from home and a favourite teddy for some familiarity when they come in to stay. Here is one year old Hector who was in with us earlier this week. He’s looking super handsome and has brought rabbit with him for cuddles and company. Adorable!

With temperatures set to reach record highs this week, trying to keep our pets cool and hydrated is more important than ever. Make sure you leave lots of fresh water stations around the house. Popping ice cubes into water bowls will keep water cooler for longer. Ensure pets have access to shade and cooler spots at all times, and if there’s any chance of a gentle breeze, even better. Indoor fan sales this week must be through the roof! A special shout out to bunnies with this being Rabbit Awareness Week. Keep hutches out of the sun, ensure runs have shade, wipe the tips of your rabbit’s ears to help them cool down, and pop a frozen bottle of water wrapped in a tea towel into their living space so they can choose to lie against it should they wish. Keep water for their water bottles in the fridge – or even freeze them – for a cool refreshing drink.
Here are two of our team’s pets enjoying some super cool fun this week! We’d love you to share pics of how your pets are keeping cool!

As pet owners, we know how enriching pets can be to our daily life. However, when our pets fall ill, it’s a real worry. Having pet insurance means that finance doesn’t become the primary concern around treatment options. It’s something all veterinary practices recommend to give owners peace of mind that they can afford unexpected veterinary care their pet might need on their life journey.
Interestingly, whilst we often tend to think of having insurance in case of accidents and emergencies, insurance provider Petplan reports that 90% of claims are for pet illness rather than accident: indeed, many insurance claims at 387 Vets are for chronic life-long illnesses that require pets to have monthly medications and regular health reviews.
We are incredibly grateful to our RVN Sharon who, in addition to her other veterinary nursing responsibilities, handles the majority of insurance claim processing for pets registered at 387 Vets. It’s a really important responsibility and, with a single claim taking anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes to process, Sharon has ring-fenced time off rota each week specifically dedicated to managing pet insurance. Can you believe, in 2025, a staggering 1500 pet insurance claims were processed at 387 Vets! Thank you, Sharon for the amazing job you do.
If your pet is under 18 months of age, and you’re interested in accessing 4 weeks’ free pet insurance, please give us a call on 01922 411755.

In addition to carrying out a full portfolio of nursing responsibilities, our Registered Veterinary Nurse Rachael also holds the responsibility of Lab Supervisor in practice. If your pet has had blood or urine tests with us, and these have been processed on site, you’ll appreciate the speed with which samples have been analysed, results shared and any necessary treatment commenced. Rachael has the important role of ensuring everything is in place to make this happen.
Lab Supervisor responsibilities include quality checks on equipment, troubleshooting any technical issues and liaising with supplier support teams, maintaining slide and cassette stock, ensuring lab hygiene levels are maintained, allocating results to patient records, training new team on how to use our machines … and more!
With new analyser machines installed last year at the culmination of our internal expansion project, we’re able to run an even wider profile of blood and urine tests in house, so Rachael’s role is more important than ever in helping pets and their owners to get speedy results!
