Tay Valley Vets

John Keen, RCVS and European Equine Internal Medicine Specialist, will present a talk on “Caring For The Older Horse” at TVVC on Friday 27th November 2009. John is a senior lecturer at Edinburgh vet school and some of you may have had contact if your horse has been at the vet school for a medical problem. The talk will start at about 7.30pm and there will be an opportunity to ask questions afterwards. The talk is free, generously sponsored by Vetplus  and all are welcome to attend.

Dental disease is the most common infectious disease of our pets. Over 80% of cats and dogs over the age of 3 require dental treatment now. This means that they are walking around with infection and inflammation in their mouths. Not only is there infection in the mouth - but it can spread to affect the whole body. The GOOD news is that the majority of dental problems are TREATABLE and nearly all are PREVENTABLE.

During the month of September our nurses, Gillian, Fiona and Kirsten will be holding dental clinics in order to check your dogs and cats teeth for free. In this free consultation we can discuss all aspects of dental care and ongoing management of your pets oral hygiene. Owners will also go away with a free goody bag for their pet. If you would like to take advantage of this service please contact the surgery to book your free appointment.
