A massive thank you to all clients, colleagues, friends and family who have sponsored us for our Active October Challenge. 10 of us set out to cover 700 miles and raise £700 (£1 for every mile) for the brilliant charity Vetlife over the course of the month. We hit our mileage goal on 30th October, and are absolutely thrilled, with your help, to have raised an incredible £935. In an industry that can be a real emotional rollercoaster, your donations will help Vetlife offer vital support to colleagues struggling with their mental health.

This is our student nurse Isabel’s puppy Norman out pumpkin picking! He chose this one himself! We love your selection Norman!
Whilst Halloween is traditionally filled with fun frights and frivolity, it’s important we restrict this to us humans. Unpredictability is not as fun for our pets. Check out these great ‘Howl-oween’ tips from The Dogs Trust for making sure our four-legged friends aren’t too phased by today:
Adapt your routine to miss costumes and fireworks: head out before any festivities and take extra doggy treats with you. If you do spot trick-or-treaters when out, head away from them and reward your dog. This avoids encounters that could scare your dog.
Keep human treats and sweets away from inquisitive noses: some human treats – and especially chocolate – are toxic to dogs so avoid any temptation!
Take care when opening the front door to prevent dogs from accidentally escaping: doorbells, costumes and the extra activity can all cause anxiety. Can you keep your dog in a different room when answering the door? If not, popping your dog on a lead will keep them safe.
Keep dressing up for humans: a new, unfamiliar costume can cause pets to be uncomfortable. Be aware of anything than could cause abrasions, irritation or overheating, or that stops them from exhibiting normal behaviours.
Feed dogs their main meal before trick or treating begins so they can eat at a relaxed time.
Think twice about taking dogs out trick or treating: even dogs who aren’t fazed by all the dressing up and excitement around Halloween may not enjoy it for as long as you do. They may prefer to be at home in their safe, comfy space with their toys and an enrichment activity.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us so far on our October fundraiser for Vetlife. The charity provides mental health and financial support to individuals struggling to cope in an industry where, very sadly, vets are 3-4 times more likely than the general population to die by suicide.
11 of the 387 Team have put on their trainers in a bid to cover 700 miles this October and we’d love to raise a pound for every mile. So far we’ve covered 644 miles and we’ve raised £615. We’re very nearly there! If you’d like to help us reach the magic £700, please click on this Just Giving link to donate. We’ll be putting on our trainers after work this week to hit that 700 miles. Go 387 Vets!

This is Irish Wolfhound Gillighan who came in to see us having caught his tail in a van door. Mum bandaged him up and brought him straight down to see us for treatment. As a show dog, everyone was keen to try and preserve his full tail so that he would remain eligible to compete.
Tail wounds can struggle to heal: not only do dog tails have limited protective tissue, but they are in constant use as part of a dog’s mode of expression, which often means lots of wagging! Gillighan’s tail didn’t heal as we had hoped so had to surgically remove the damaged tip.
The three year old is now all better, the op site has healed, his fur has grown back and, excitingly, his tail remains long enough for him to continue to show. You can imagine our delight to receive a WhatsApp message from Gillighan’s owner last week to tell us he’d won silver in his show category. What a stunning superstar!

This is fabulous French Bulldog Ronald who came in to see us this morning wearing a pumpkin themed collar. Fantastic! He was more than happy to pose for a photo as we tempted him with treats to show off his seasonal collar. Ronald sat beautifully, and enjoyed having a few doggie biscuits as a reward for being such a good boy as you can tell from the pics!
