A big thank you to Linda Burkey for the lovely coffee, coffee cups, and biscuits for our receptionist during Veterinary Receptionist Week! ☕🍪

Your thoughtful gesture truly made the week extra special and is so appreciated. 💛

(Although we have to admit… the very pregnant practice manager may have helped herself to a few of those biscuits too! 😉)

🐾 FOUND MALE PUP 🐾

We recently took in a very sweet male puppy from someone who was trying to sell him, and we want to make sure he hasn’t been taken from his rightful home.

If you believe this pup may be yours, he is currently safe at Brackenhurst Vet. Please come forward with proof of ownership.

If no owner is found, he will be placed up for adoption into a loving home ❤️

This week we celebrate the heart of our front desk — our incredible veterinary receptionists 🐾💙

You are the first friendly voice on the phone, the warm welcome at the door, and the calm in moments of worry. You juggle appointments, comfort anxious pet parents, and keep everything running smoothly — often all at once!

Your compassion, patience, and dedication do not go unnoticed. Thank you for being such an essential part of the care we provide to our patients and their families.

Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week! 🐶🐱✨

It was quite simple really… 🌿😄

Aloo decided to help with the gardening at the practice today.

Safe to say her gardening skills still need a little work, but her enthusiasm is unmatched 💚

We wouldn’t have it any other way!❤️

If she belongs to you, or if you have any information about her owners, please contact us urgently.

Let’s help get her home 💔🐾

Over the Easter weekend, we had quite the unexpected adventure 😳🐶🎣

One curious dog decided to go “fishing” and ended up with a hook stuck in its mouth. Thankfully, we were able to remove the hook, and the dog is recovering well 🙏

⚠️ Pet Safety Around Fish Hooks:

🐾Fish hooks are extremely sharp and can easily lodge in a pet’s mouth, throat, paws, or even digestive tract if swallowed.
🐾Never try to pull a hook out yourself unless you are absolutely certain it’s safe — improper removal can cause serious injury. When in doubt, seek veterinary help immediately.
🐾Keep all fishing gear (hooks, lines, bait) safely stored and out of reach of pets.
🐾Discard used hooks and lines properly — animals can get tangled or injured even from leftovers.
🐾If your pet is bleeding, drooling excessively, gagging, or pawing at their mouth, treat it as an emergency.

Stay safe and keep those furry friends protected ❤️
