fielding and cumber Veterinary Surgeons - may 2012

As April blows its way out in a series of “showers” there doesn’t seem much Spring weather to be had in Dorset.

Luckily Moonfleet Manor provided a weather-proof location for our AGM where we had a roundup of the year just gone and looked forward to our plans for the future.  It’s really good to stop occasionally and look at what we do and have achieved otherwise it tends to get a bit lost in our busy day-to-day lives.

One of our staff pointed out that we are a real local family practice (3 members of the family are involved in running the practice) and as we have been in Weymouth and Dorchester for over 25 years we have been treating pets from local families sometimes from one generation to the next – which does make some of us feel a bit old! 

Anyway, enough philosophising and down to business. Our news section includes a cautionary tale on the perils of eating sweets, free help available when your pet picks up a tick and some interesting visitors to the surgery!
