🐾💊 Repeat prescriptions! 💊🐾

With Christmas and New Year approaching, it is now time to order your repeat prescriptions (including flea and worming treatment) to ensure your pet has their medication for over the holiday period. We do not want you to run out or not receive the medication on time so please get into contact with us as soon as possible to order what you need.

We politely ask that you order the medication at least 3 working days in advance to allow us to process the request and ensure we have the correct stock of the medication required. A vet needs to authorise and dispense the medication, and the team need time to prepare it. It also allows time for us to contact you regarding your request, should a problem arise.

You can order your prescriptions online at endcottagevets.co.uk or over the phone, please press option 1 when you call us.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, The End Cottage Team 😊

Vaccines offer protection against some illnesses, but to ensure they are as effective as possible it is important to take your pet for their boosters. 🐶

Minimising stress for your cat when visiting the vet! 🐈🐾

Travelling to the vets with your cat can be a very stressful experience for your feline friend. We would like to help reduce their stress as much as possible to make their visit a bit more comfortable for them.

Starting with cat carriers. Fabric carriers are unfortunately not suitable and not recommended as they are not secure and usually collapse into the cat making them feel squashed and uncomfortable. The majority of fabric carriers are made of mesh meaning the cat is exposed which can be very stressful for them. The best types of carriers are all plastic with a secure door, and with a removable lid so that, if needed, the cat can stay in the carrier for their examination.

Some useful tips we would also recommend are:

✔️ Keeping the carrier out at home, with the door off, so it becomes a normal part of their environment—not a signal that something scary is coming.
✔️ Add familiar bedding or clothing that smells like home to help your cat feel safe.
✔️ Use calming sprays or pheromone wipes inside the carrier 15 minutes before travel (such as feliway or pet remedy).
✔️ Cover the carrier with a blanket during the car ride and while at the vets, to reduce visual stress.
✔️ Reward and reassure before, during, and after the visit.
✔️ Before taking the carrier out of the car, please make one final check that the carrier is completely secure.

*For the safety of your cat, we will not allow your cat to be in the waiting room without being in a suitable, secure carrier. If you bring your cat in without a carrier, on a harness, or in a cardboard box, you will be kindly asked to put them into one of our carriers*

We sometimes have a limited amount of donated cat carriers avaliable to purchase for £5, which goes into our stray animal fund 😊

Below is a picture of Violet modelling her cat carrier which is a perfect example 🤩🐱

This male duck, who we named Gilbert, was brought into us last week after the finder suspected an abscess on his face. Vet Caz was able to drain the contents, which turned out to be a cyst!

Gilbert received antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication and 48 hours rehabilitation with us before being released back. He was very happy to be back in the pond! 🥰🦆

A bit of a different post from us this evening! As a practice we always like to try and support our colleagues where we can! Because of this, we would like to highlight the success of 11 year old, Florence Walkington. Florence is the daughter of our wonderful receptionist, Amy.

Florence started kart racing competitively when she was just 8 years old! Amy tells us -

“Initially we took Florence to the local TeamSport Cadet Academy every Sunday, an indoor track with electric karts. Her confidence grew and we soon had her sat in a 4-stroke petrol kart, progressing very quickly it was encouraged we took her to the next stage which was a 2-stroke 125cc kart, her first race in this kart saw her take P1 and Top Novice at a Motor Sport UK event.

Recently, Florence has just become two times champion of Fulbeck Kart Club, she became the IKR Sprint Series Champion of 2025. Florence races for a team based in Nottingham 'Tom Day Racing' and with the team she will compete in the Teeside Winter Series and then go on to race Nationally in 2026 at the SuperOne Series, 12 rounds across 6 weekends. Most weekends are spent at tracks testing, these include Whilton Mill and Trent Valley Kart Club (PFI).

Florence dreams are to drive in F1. She's a loyal supporter of Mclaren with a never-ending admiration for Lando Norris, her dreams are big, but her determination is bigger!”

We all wish you the best of luck, Florence! 👏🏻🍀🏎️
