🌟 April Highlights from The Vet Station
As the spring sunshine brings longer walks and more outdoor adventures, The Vet Station continues to grow, support, and serve our wonderful community of pets and their owners. Here's what's new and noteworthy this month:
✅ Osteoarthritis Seminar – A Huge Success!
We were thrilled by the turnout and engagement at our recent Canine Osteoarthritis Awareness Seminar! Thank you to everyone who joined us for an informative session focused on managing joint pain and improving quality of life for our aging furry friends.

Our vets shared practical advice, treatment options, and new therapies that can help dogs live more comfortably and actively—even with osteoarthritis.
🐶🐱 Open Weekends – Because Pets Don’t Take Days Off

🐕 Muzzle Awareness – When and Why They Matter
Muzzles can be a sensitive topic, but they are sometimes a necessary safety tool—for your pet, our team, and the public.
Here’s why a pet might need to wear a muzzle at the vet:
They’re fearful or anxious during exams
They have a history of biting under stress
They’re in pain, which may make them reactive
At The Vet Station, we believe in fear-free, compassionate care. Our team is trained to use muzzles respectfully, only when needed, and we always prioritise your pet’s comfort and dignity.
If you'd like support introducing your dog to a muzzle in a positive way, we’d be happy to help.

☀️ Keeping Pets Cool in Warmer Weather
As the temperatures start to rise, it’s important to help your pets stay cool and safe. Dogs and cats can quickly overheat, especially breeds with flat faces, thick coats, or underlying health conditions. To keep them comfortable:
Ensure they have constant access to fresh, cool water
Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day—early morning or late evening is best
Provide shaded areas in the garden or use cooling mats indoors
Never leave pets in a parked car, even for a minute—it can be fatal
Watch for signs of heatstroke: excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or collapse
If you’re ever in doubt or concerned about your pet in the heat, don’t hesitate to contact us—we're open 7 days a week to help.
🎉 Happy Birthday, Dr. Vanessa Waite!
This month, we’re celebrating a very special day—our founder, Dr. Vanessa Waite, turned a year older on April 18th! Dr. Waite’s passion for animals and dedication to exceptional veterinary care is the heart of The Vet Station.
