We have 10 full time veterinary surgeons
of varying ages, one part time small
animal veterinary surgeon and one
part time veterinary surgeon doing
purely TB testing. Our veterinary
surgeons are aided by a friendly
support team, including
4 qualified veterinary nurses.
Spring and summer brings us into flea and tick time again. June is Flea Month and we are offering discounts on flea and tick treatments. It is important to use a treatment that is safe and effective and this can vary from animal to animal.
In dogs we must consider their lifestyle as well as where they walk, as this can influence the type of treatment that will work best, from tablets to spot ons.
Please feel to drop in and discuss your pet’s needs.
Dispensing of Prescription Only Medicines (VPS POM)
Legally only your Veterinary Surgeon can dispense this category of medicines for your animals. For us to do this
legally the animals concerned have to be 'Under our Care'.
North Park Veterinary Group therefore have to have knowledge of what species of animal you have and the numbers and type E.g. Dairy/beef, Breeding ewes or just fattening lambs, how they are managed, what medicines and disease control programs you are currently using and if you have any ongoing disease concerns.
The most important factor is that one of our Veterinary surgeons has been on farm within the preceding 12 months in order to satisfy the legal requirements with which we as veterinary surgeons have to comply.
Prescription check sheets can be obtained from the surgeries for you to fill out prior to a visit which will speed up the process. We would also like to see your medicines records.
Please do not berate the reception, nursing or veterinary staff. It is not their fault. We have to operate within the law. If you wish to provide feedback on these regulations please do so to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate or the government via your MP.
