Caring for your pet

Vanessa Townsend

Veterinary Nurse

Well, I've been a vet nurse for 14 years now, and have survived working with Alex for 10 of those ....wow!

This photo really shows off Rommel, my 9 year old Rottie's, colour mutation. He has Vitiligo, which is a very very rare auto immune condition where his body attacks his dark pigment cells, turning him gradually white.

This condition (along with his handsome looks and sharp wits) has lead to international fame and deservedly for such a star, he has his own furniture at home (spoiled).

He reluctantly shares home with my two Burmese cats, Klaus and Kelvin (the bosses) and Mertle the Turtle, who pretty much runs the whole place.

Testimonials

"The staff treats my pets just as I do, with love and care. Okay maybe they don’t kiss them so much but... nothing would surprise me.

You have created the perfect service for animal lovers like me. Thanks again for your help and advice with Sudi.

He has really perked up since you guys operated on his eye. His new trick is winding up his ‘wind-up mouse’. He lies on his back and pulls the cord himself then lets it go.

Unbelievable!"
