A Veterinary Practice like no other . c

With everything that ’ s been happening recently , it ’ s all too easy to forget about the health of our animals . So many practices have closed or been forced to make cuts , making regular veterinary care difficult . Just because the world has ground to a halt doesn t mean claws stop growing or teeth clean themselves .
Then there ’ s the more important preventative treatments ents such as vaccinations and worming . These regular trips to the vet are what keep our furry family members healthy . That regular contact enables us to notice any changes that might be an indication of something more serious .
Here at Heronden , we ’ re proud of the fact that we ’ ve managed to stay open and offer a full service to our clients - though you might have been the one left shivering in the car while your pet was inside in the warm . We ’ ve also been able to deal with pretty much everything that ’ s been thrown at us - from broken legs to tumour surgery . That ’ s because , unlike a lot of practices , we deliver referral-level diagnostics and treatment in-house . So you don ’ t have to wait for - or travel to - appointments at referral centres .
We already offer orthopaedic and soft-tissue surgery , ultrasonography , radiology , full laboratory analysis , even acupuncture . And now we ’ re expanding our Nurse Clinics . These can be booked free of charge for any little worries you might have , as well as weight and dental checks or advice on diet and nutrition .
If you ’ re one of the many people who have taken their first steps into pet ownership during lockdown , we ’ d love to see you at one of our free Nurse Clinics . lt ’ s so important to make regular vet visits with your new friend , and we pride ourselves on being with you through every stage of your pet ’ s life .
It ’ s been clear during the pandemic just how important pets are to us - for friendship , for company and for solace . It ’ s only right that we should look after them as they look after us .
