Welcome to Our Dog Friendly Vet Clinic
Care Tailored to Keep Your Dog Happy and Stress-Free.
Our Dog Friendly Vet Clinic in Somerset
After a lot of hard work from our brilliant nursing team, we are proud to announce that Mount Vets have been awarded the “dog friendly” status from the Dog’s Trust “dog friendly vet clinics” scheme!
We know that leaving your dog with us can be difficult, particularly when they are poorly. Our aim is to make this process easier by demonstrating the steps we have taken to ensure your pet is taken care of to the highest standard.
What makes us a dog friendly vet practice?
Home comforts
All our kennels have a deep padded mattress and lots of blankets available which we think is the next best thing. Every dog is placed in a kennel appropriate to their size, with our largest kennel fitting even our Great Danes and Newfoundland patients with ease. Every patient is also welcome to keep an item in their kennel that smells like home, whether this is a toy or mum or dad’s t-shirt.
Stress free dog ward
We have lots of little comforts that can add up to a very different experience. For example, calming music is always played in the dog ward at a low level. We also have Adaptil Plug ins to release pheromones to keep your pet calm throughout the day, alongside this we also use Pet Remedy spray on bedding to promote a calming environment for them.
Dog friendly nurses
Our assigned ‘dog friendly’ advocate is Cat Vizor. Our nurses and nursing assistants regularly spend one on one time with dog patients, grooming, petting and comforting them.
Individual needs are met
Dogs under our care, if fit to are walked out of the kennel into an outdoor, grassy area regularly, meaning they will never go too long without a toilet break. This is also tailored to each patient, as we understand every patient has individual needs, which means they may need to go out more or less frequently.
