It was an exciting night at Excel London last night as people from across the UK veterinary industry gathered for the 26th annual Petplan Awards. A black tie event, guests arrived to a champagne reception and music from a live band before moving through to a three course dinner, the awards presentations and further evening entertainment. Comedian Josh Widdicome was our compere for the night!
There were five awards, and our Lead Receptionist Angie was runner up on the night in the Support Staff of the Year category. To be one of only three chosen finalists for this award from across the whole of the UK is spectacular, especially considering an immense 41, 693 nominations were submitted for this year’s Petplan Awards! Fantastic and very well deserved recognition, Angie. We’re really proud of you!

We love seeing what inpatients bring with them when they come on ward for the day! Sending your pet in with a little day bag to include a favourite blanket and a teddy or toy, together with a portion of the pet food they normally eat at home, all helps provide familiarity and comfort to furry visitors as the unfamiliar can feel a little daunting. It’s literally bringing in a little bit of home to help with emotional wellbeing and minimise stress.
This is very happy and beautifully bouncy black lab retriever Eddie who was in for an abdominal scan recently with his teddy. The eagle-eyed amongst us think teddy might be Doodles, the dog from CBBC’s The Tweenies. The pair were inseparable to the point where Eddie carried teddy with him wherever he went! Totally adorable best friends!

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.
