✨Petmas Day 10 ✨
Ted, a lively nine-year-old Collie–Springer mix, will keep you entertained from breakfast to dinner—give him a ball and you’ve won his heart.🐶
Caesar, also nine, a Lab–Husky blend and a big black cuddly bear, is truly a gentle soul who loves sniffing flowers and dining alfresco.
Leo, the four-year-old Goldendoodle, is the sweetest boy around. He’s always by your side, happily delivering his toys—no hoover needed with him around!
Buddy, the wise 13-year-old ginger cat, is independent and prefers cozy hiding spots for his naps 🐈
Their owner, who works on the floor, has short hair and adores every one of her beloved pets

🎄 Day 9 of Petmas
Tarly & Stark!

Meet today’s dynamic duo:

🐶 Tarly — a 3-year-old Cockapoo with the sweetest heart… and perhaps not the sharpest puppy brain. But what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for in charm & affection.

🐕 Stark — a 7-year-old Cavapoochon who radiates independence and quiet wisdom (well… compared to Tarly). He loves a cuddle, but only when he decides it’s time — very on-brand for a Stark.

🍪 Shared interests:
Both are fiercely loyal to one thing above all else: biscuits.

Their human is a lovely nurse on the floor, who’s lived in Plymouth for many years — even though you’d never guess it from her accent. Just like her pups’ namesakes, she’s got the blonde hair worthy of a true Game of Thrones character!

✨Day 8 of petmas
🐶
Meet Scampi — scamp by name, scamp by nature! 🐾🐾
This mischievous Portuguese Water Dog has a refined palate for… well… anything. Socks? Delicious. TV remotes? A crunchy delicacy. If it exists, Scampi believes it’s edible.

A true water-lover, he’ll happily dive, splash, dunk, and dog-paddle his way through any puddle, pond, or bath you didn’t invite him into 🤣

His human shares his gorgeous curly hair and big heart. She changed job roles this year, and honest Jen is still not over it. Luckily for all of us, we still get to see her! ❤️

🎄 Day 7 of Petmas ✨
Tiffany & Tabitha 🎄
At just 10 weeks old, these short-haired grey sisters are tiny bundles of pure holiday joy 😻
With energy that could rival Santa’s elves, Tiffany and Tabitha spend their days zooming through the house, chasing toys, pouncing on anything that wiggles, and then instantly melting into cuddle puddles when they’re scooped up. 🐈

Their human brother and sister can’t resist carrying them everywhere!

Their loving owner handles all your bookings and appointments — and they’re definitely not from the South West!

Day 6 of Petmas 🐾

George & Jeffrey 🐶

On the sixth day of Petmas, the sea breeze brought to me…
Two beach-loving boys and one very spoilt life indeed!

George, 1 year old —
ball-mad, beach-mad, and absolutely convinced every snack ever made was specifically for him.
If there’s water, he’s in it. If there’s food, he’s eaten it.
He’s the ultimate greedy little sea-swimmer with a heart as big as the waves.

Then there’s Jeffrey, 3.5 years old —
a handsome, thoughtful soul who prefers his personal space and the finer, quieter things in life.
Food? Meh.
A peaceful patch of sand away from his younger brother’s drama? Yes, please.

Their owners is another sister on Bracken who also loves to sea swim! 🏊

🎄 Day 5 of Petmas: 😻
Iggy & Badger 🎄

In a cosy house ruled by one majestic feline king named Iggy,
every human knows the truth: they merely rent space from him.
With a regal stare and a bossy swagger, he patrols his kingdom,
making sure everything—and everyone—operates to his exacting standards. 😼👑

Beside him is sweet, gentle Badger.
Tender-hearted, soft-pawed, and always ready for a game of catch.🎄

And among their loyal subjects is one of our ladies in green—
helpful, kind, caring, and adored by both cats 🐈

🌟 Day 4 of Petmas! 🌟
Meet Darcy, the 7-year-old cockapoo with a heart full of joy and a serious obsession with her ball! 🎾
Whether she’s racing across the sand or splashing at the shoreline, the beach is her absolute happy place. 🏖️🐶

Darcy’s owner is a sister on Bracken — funny, caring, loving, and just the right amount of crazy — the ideal partner-in-crime for a dog powered by cuteness and cuddles. 💛

Day 3 of Petmas 🎄

Meet Stan Stick Man — he wandered in on 28 November, claimed squatters’ rights by 1 December, and never left.
He’s a master of disguise, a fearless climber, and happily munches privet leaves like they’re gourmet meals.

His owner is just as delightfully eccentric — she works on the floor, loves to travel, and together they’re a pair of heat-loving adventurers ready for their next warm escape ☀️

✨ Petmas Day 2 ✨- Yesterdays pet owner was- Kerry our myeloma CNS!

Meet Charlie — turning 12 on 22nd December!🎂🥳 He loves swimming, chasing balls, and being taught new tricks Bella (owners granddaughter) teaches him. He does not love loud noises... His happy place is Seaton Beach! 🌊🐾

His owner: a brilliant nurse who mainly works elsewhere but somehow still finds time to teach some our team how to sedate like a pro! 💙

Kicking off Day 1 of Petmas! 🐶
Meet Florence — a three-year-old French Bulldog who’s equal parts playful, boisterous, and built like a tiny tank! A lovable little rogue through and through. ❤️
This gorgeous girl belongs to one of our amazing CNS team members (yes, the one you’ll be asking for your paraprotein!).
