If you have a routine appointment booked with us, please take into account the extreme weather warnings that are announced 😮 If your pet finds the vets stressful or is a breed at greater risk of heat stroke then please consider phoning us to re-arrange your appointment 😊 Please also consider your transport to the vets as walking on hot pathways should be avoided. Remember dogs can die in hot cars. https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/hotwalks
As we approach the six weeks school period, we are urging our clients to contact us to arrange for their pets to have sufficient medication to cover from now until the beginning of September. This is due to limited availability of our vet surgeons during this period.
Thank you for your support

Did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for RSPCA Stort Valley with easyfundraising?
There are over 4,000 shops and sites on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, John Lewis, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.
All you need to do is:
1. Go to https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/rspcastortvalley/?utm_campaign=raise-more and join for free.
2. Every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.

There are no catches or hidden charges and RSPCA Stort Valley will be really grateful for your donations.
Thank you for your support.
As our clinic does not have facilities to take in unwanted pets or abandoned animals, if you have any unwanted pet food, there are many families who need help and support with their pets. To donate pet food, please contact you local foodbank or visit https://harlow.foodbank.org.uk
Thank you.
