Downwood Doggy!

Downwood Vets would like to introduce the latest four legged member of the Downwood family, Ronnie!

Ronnie belongs to Natalie, one of our nurses. Ronnie is a lab x cocker spaniel AKA a Cockerdor!

We are aware that welcoming a new puppy into your life is an exciting and busy time, and understandably, you want to make sure he/she is kept in the best possible health.

Here at Downwood Vets, we welcome and encourage routine health checks for your beloved new family member from puppyhood and throughout their adult life. It is important your pup is as comfortable as possible with visiting the vets, so here are some helpful tips to make the experiences positive; - Come and say hello! We love meeting new puppies, so please come and introduce them to reception for some cuddles even if they are not yet fully vaccinated, it is advisable to still carry them in your arms to get used to the sights and smells of the practice (and the outside world for that matter). - Visit in between vaccinations. Your puppy/dog may find injections a little bit itchy and strange, to prevent them always associating the vet with this sensation, pop in and ask us to feed him/her some treats. - Ask us questions.

Our team are here to help you, so please feel free to ask questions you may have about your pup, we appreciate there is a lot of information to process about worming, flea/tick treatments, diet, neutering, insurance and socialising! We look forward to meeting your new puppy!
