I have recently heard a vet on my local radio talking about the importance of insuring pets. The vet was concerned that her clients might buy a policy that was “not worth the paper it was written on” and that in these times of increasing calls on the household budget, it was essential that a policy was in place, in case their beloved pet needed…[Read more]

Hi Sarah, we’ve changed all our kennel beds to Tuffies mattresses instead of vet beds. Not only are they more comfortable for the patients, but it has also vastly reduced our washing and tumble drying – saved on time for the team too so win win! Would love to hear what others are doing.
What a fantastic idea @diane-storer and thank you for being the first contributor to what I hope will come an extensive document of ideas we can all start to implement to make a positive impact! Thank you so much.
hi Sarah. one of my nurses has done a lot of research on this for me and we have changed quite a lot of things happy to pass the info from example biodegradable bags, biodegradable gloves…
Thank you so much Natalie!

We know that many corporates have closed sites over the last 18 months. But does anybody have any experience of what is happening to these sites? Are they leased to new vet practices? Are they leased to other businesses? Any insights appreciated.
Latest I heard the one I know of has just been abandoned

I need colleagues – vets and especially nurses please – to guide me on purchasing some new drip pumps. the ones we have been using – Niki V4 Infusion Pumps – came with an animalcare fluids deal, and have been good and are simple , but they cannot be repaired any longer except at twice the price they were bought at!! We have a N-HAWK-100VET…[Read more]
my last drip pump came via burtons for purchasing 500 giving sets. It seems quite good and was a good offer if they are still running it?
I’ve contacted a few people Steve, I’ll post their feedback on here when I receive it.
thanks sarah and thanks rory – are you referring to the Burtons EN-V5 Infusion Pump Kit?
What a brilliant idea
