ALTON, BORDON, GRAYSHOTT 
FIRE TRAINING AT AMERY VETS! Our Grayshott surgery recently held a Tea Party to raise funds for the Blue
Cross. We welcomed clients who enjoyed cakes made by the staff for our charity
fund raising, and were joined by some dogs who loved trying the specially
made dog biscuits! We raised £130 which will help the Blue Cross to
find homes for over 6,000 animals a year and towards funding their veterinary
hospitals, which carry out over 11,000 operations and more than 81,000 consultations
and diagnostic procedures a year.
RSPCA GALA DAY AND CAT-LESS CAT SHOW The results of the "Cat-Less Cat Show" at the recent RSPCA Gala
Day can be found by clicking HERE. SOME PARTS OF OUR JOB ARE JUST SO HARD!.... SNOW! Soldiers from the local Army barracks came to the aid of staff and clients
at our Bordon branch during the recent snow. Cars had managed to get down Chalet Hill but weren't finding it quite as
easy to get back up again! The Army lads helped to push cars out of trouble
and also helped to clear around our surgery so that our clients could get
in and out safely. SNOWY DAYS! Snow angels...or Bordon nurses on their break?! A snowy welcome from Chris! Our Alton surgery in the snow PLAYGROUP CHILDREN ENJOY VISIT TO VETS Children and helpers from St Lawrence Playgroup and Preschool enjoyed their
recent visit to Amery Vets in Alton. The children were taught how to take
care of Molly the dog, and were able to have a go at grooming her.
Staff
recently had an afternoon's fire training from WJ Fire Protection Services,
based in Crondall, Farnham. All members of staff learned how to put out a
fire with the appropriate extinguishers, and how to use a fire blanket.
Our
staff recently enjoyed a visit from ten labrador puppies, in for their first
vaccinations. Owner Mrs Raggett brought in the pups in two cars, and there
was no shortage of willing helpers to hold them!
They went on to use some of our grit supplies to help a couple of our less
mobile clients living nearby, by making their pathways safe. They were rewarded
with a rather large pot of tea and lots of smiles!
They
met Stigg the Jack Russell Terrier, who had a poorly paw, and visited Bugsy
the rabbit, Zeus the tortoise and Terence and Lorenzo the terrapins! The children
were shown how to care for a cat, with the help of vet Annedine Conradie and
the impeccably behaved Poli.
At the end of their visit, the children were given a goody bag, with a cuddly
toy to take care of and a certificate showing that they had visited the vets.
