❤️🐾Puppies!!!🐾❤️

We had a gorgeous litter of springer spaniels in for first vaccines and microchipping.
They enjoyed exploring the consult room and getting lots of attention.

Primary vaccinations are a vital part of a puppies preventative health care, giving them the best protection against harmful diseases.

🌟Hawick-Team Update🌟
Sadly Sarah Simpson is retiring from Hawick Vets at the end of this month, I am sure you will all join us in wishing her well after so many dedicated years service to Hawick.

Lucy is currently on a sabbatical, she is working in New Zealand for a few months. She is due to return in June, hopefully with a raft of new ideas from her adventure.
Until she returns we have the familiar faces of Suzanne, Jenny and Diana, along with two experienced locums. Ben who has been working in mixed practice in Aberdeenshire for the last four years and Isaac, a vet from Australia who has worked in mixed practice for the last five years in both Australia and the UK.

We would also like to introduce Morven Coutts as our new Farm Clinical Director. She is currently Clinical Director at Greenside Vets in St Boswells and her role is changing to become Clinical Director in charge of farm for both Greenside and Hawick.
Morven qualified from Glasgow in 2006 and after stints in the Highlands and New Zealand, she came to Greenside in 2013 to run the farm side and then promoted to Clinical Director in 2019.
She is passionate about all things farm and is one of only a handful of vets in Scotland to have a DBR qualification (Masters in Cattle Reproduction).
She is looking forward to meeting all the Hawick clients and supporting the existing team here to continue to provide a high quality service for all our clients.

🐾Success story at Crufts!🐾
One of our clients had the wonderful opportunity of competing at Crufts with their dog Cruz!

Cruz is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and excels at agility!
His young handler Thea competed with him in 4 agility classes and came home with 3 awards, including a first place in the pairs category.

We want to congratulate them on their achievements and hope they enjoyed their experience!❤️
Thank you for sharing your story with us.

🐶G U C C I M Y A 🐶

This little star came in to be spayed last week and spent most of the day snuggled up in her blanket😍

We recommend spaying 3-4 months after the last season. Neutering early in life can help to prevent reproductive infections and reduce the risk of some cancers in later life.

-All pets on our Pet Health for life plan receive a 10% discount on neutering.

-Please speak to one of the team about the best options for your pet🐾
