Paws in the Park – A roaring success

Paws in the Park – A roaring success

June 7, 2023

Paws in the Park

This year’s Paws in the Park was a huge success. We were in attendance the whole weekend, raising money for the East Grinstead Lions charity who do so much to help our local community. It was great to meet so many of you and your furry friends and watch you take part in some of the fun games and competitions we had on offer.

Congratulations to Ella Bradley who won our guess the number of treats competitions and her dog will be thrilled that they win the entire contents of the jar! Pauline Berry was the winner of our guess the breeds prize draw and has won a Vaccinations for Life voucher. Portland team pet Mari came 2nd in fastest recall and sat proudly with her rosette.

The vet team were kept busy with a few poorly paws, a cut ear and several other first aid call outs We are pleased that all went away patched up and feeling better.

Next year we will be the official vets on site, ready to help with all of your dog’s first aid needs again and the team will be running the popular Temptation Alley – we hope to see you all there!

In other news:

In addition to the launch of our new website, we have also had several other exciting developments this year:

Cat Clinic at Edenbridge

We opened our new cat only clinic at our Edenbridge branch, mentioned in this month’s Vet Times magazine. The cat clinic has been built by converting a brick-built former house adjacent to the existing branch, solely for our feline patients.

More information can be found on the website and it is quick and easy to register your cat.

Pet Wellness Plus Plan

Earlier this year we launched our new enhanced PetWellness Plus plan for dogs, cats and rabbits. In addition to the preventative benefits of our standard pet wellness plan, our new plan includes unlimited vet and nurse appointments for just one monthly amount. This means that pet owners can access the care their pets need without having to worry about the cost.

“We are delighted to announce the opening of our new cat clinic and the launch of our enhanced PetWellness Plus plan,” said George Christopherson, Managing Director of Portland Vets. “These developments are a reflection of our commitment to providing the highest standards of care for our patients, and we are already seeing these changes being welcomed by our clients.”

We've always had such a great service from all the staff at Portland vets. With 3 dogs and a cat we visit regulary through the year for vaccinations, check ups and occasional illnesses/injuries.We recently had to say a sad farewell to our 18 year old cat Tigerlily and this upsetting event was made more bareable with the care and empathy given by not only the vet Lucy but the receptionist Jilly too.Over the past 9 years we've always had a great service with kind, welcoming staff who go the extra mile to make the patients vet visits as relaxing, calm and stressfree as possible.With a dog that is wary of strangers the staff have gone above and beyond to help Amber settle and are very understanding of her behaviour.We can't thank them enough for their excellent service.

My Bloodhound stole and ate 2 large mince pies. I contacted Portland at East Grinstead, a totally professional member of staff answered the phone and recognized the serious nature of the situation. She made an immediate appointment and asked me to come in now. The short version is these vets know what they are doing, the staff we saw were outstanding. The Vet was one of the best I have come across, super knowledgeable and genuinely cared. I have no reservation about recommending this vets to anyone, without compromise they saved my dog from being seriously ill. Watson and I thank you all

Always really helpful and caring. Cooper is a hound with a bit of beagle in there somewhere, hence he loves to sing, very vocal. Laura is a great vet, very thorough and explains everything and both my dogs love her. Wouldn't go to anyone else. A true professional. Thank you for always being there for my boys.

I can not say thank you enough to the entire team at Portland vets for how well they looked after my little frenchie. It was such a worrying few days but knowing how well he was being looked after with the constant updates from nurses, really did help put our minds at ease. I wish you weren't so far away otherwise i'd have switched all my of my dogs over to you.

We recently moved all our animals to Portland vets in Horley and East Grinstead. I’m so impressed with the service I wish I’d move sooner! We receive full written details of any animal that undergoes any testing or surgery with very clear details of their results, a phone call before and after, and also photos of the animal whilst they are recovering from surgery with updates to how their recovery is going. The vets always gets back to us within the same day and all the staff always have a smile on their faces, nothing ever seems to much to ask! I absolutely adore Charlotte at Horley, she is just amazing!!

I can’t express how wonderful Portland vets have been. My little pug Daisy has been very unwell, everyone involved in her care has been fantastic. From the Vet Laura, who has been super attentive, updating us on Daisy’s condition and being so compassionate and professional. To the reception staff who have been so polite and helpful. I cannot thank you enough.

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to one of our dogs recently. From my tearful telephone call to book the appointment, right through to her passing with the vet's help, we were dealt with in the most caring, compassionate and sensitive way. The staff at this practice are the best and I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.

Really friendly vets! Best we’ve been to! The staff are very friendly, their customer service is great, and they also have a useful app where you can send photos if you think your pet might have an issue, and it saves having to make an unnecessary appointment if they don’t! :)

We had the very sad journey today and I have to say everyone was amazing. Our vet gave us an honest view and after some time we decided to let our treasured dog to sleep. The time given while the decission was made and throughout the process was amazing, nothing was rushed, nothing was any trouble, everything was explained and while this was our first time with this vets I would recommend them to anyone. Amazing care for our feelings and the attention paid to make this process as best it could of been was just amazing. While I am heart broken as are my children I have to say everything was handled with the upmost of care and respect and I shall be eternally greatful for the way everything was dealt with. RIP our amazing Harry. Thank you all for your help and support last night.

I had to take my cat (Molly) to a vet quite urgently and wasn't registered to one.Portland Vets were fantastic. From making my initial call through to when we arrived, seeing the vet and leaving.Everyone was so lovely. A special thanks to Katy, the vet. Katy was so thorough with Molly and with us too. We fully understood everything thanks to Katys explanation.Thank you so much to all at 'Portland Vets' ❤️

I had to take ou dog to this practice for an out of hours emergency appointment, we are registered with their Horley branch. They were amazing with him, he had to be admitted over night and needed emergency surgery the next morning. Fantastic service from the moment you step in the door, communication was brilliant, talked through every step of the way, it was a horrible weekend of worrying made a whole lot better knowing he was in the best possible hands.I'm pleased to say he is doing well but even if he hadn't come through I know he wouldn't have had a better chance than with this team. I have owned dogs for over 30yrs and had them as a child so im speaking from experience with different vets over many years, these vets really do care about your animals, I actually chose these vets when an awful large chain took over my previous vets because I had used the lovely Laura before at one of her previous positions and although she doesn't work at Horley I knew if she worked for the company then they had to be a good team as I know she is a vet that cares for the animals, I've so far not been proved wrong as every vet we have seen has been great. We were lucky enough to have Laura look after our dog and perform his operation, as I said before it was so lovely to know he couldn't have been in better hands. I just wish you were 24/7, although he still received great care from the out of hours vets, they are all based such a long way away from us, I wouldn't want to be taking a sick animal that far, thankfully moving him from you was only half the time it would have taken from home. I understand the reasoning behind it all, it is just a shame it's all going over to the large chains again, I think private hospital care would have been cheaper and they knew we didn't have insurance cover as we had already reached our limit.**I need to point out my concern over prices is with Vets Now and not with Portland Vets, for all the surgery and treatment he received from Portland I believe their pricing was very fair, it was the price for the care at Vets Now that really hit hard, I know it is out of hours but so was Thursday and Friday night at Portland!

We moved our rabbit’s care to Portland Vets and I am so glad we did. When open, in pre-pandemic days, the clinic and waiting room are clean, calm spaces, designed with the animals in mind. All the staff here are so lovely, enthusiastic and competent. Lucy in particular is one of the best vets our buns have ever been seen by. She explains things so well and has such a lovely manner. Must also mention that the reception team are very helpful and friendly. Really recommend this practice.

I was at BlackBerry vets before hand. They started ripping me off with prices and decisions about my dog. I moved to Portland vets as friends were there and they had to do a fatty lump removal on my dog. They were very professional and my dogs recovery was fantastic. They checked in on the phone how she was doing. Fantastic service.
