With worrying news about counterfeit flea treatments online and a new government campaign about river pollution, we look at how to keep your pets safe and our Scottish waterways clean.

🐾 WE’RE HIRING: The Face of Our Practice! 🐾

Are you a "people person" who loves animals? We’re looking for a Full-Time Client Care Adviser & Receptionist to join our independent team at Low Waters Veterinary Centre.

We aren't a corporate chain; we're a local team that values empathy just as much as efficiency.

✅ Full-Time (Approx. 38hrs) ✅ Real Living Wage Employer (£13.45/hr) ✅ A supportive, independent environment

Today’s news highlights transparency in veterinary pricing, ownership and complaints. At Beechwood & Low Waters Veterinary Centres, we already meet these standards — and we always have.

We’re temporarily pausing new client registrations at our Low Waters Veterinary practice to focus on existing pets, while registrations remain open at our other practice. Join our waitlist to register when spaces reopen.

Details of our limited Saturday service on 27 Dec and 3 Jan: short opening hours, very small team, urgent cases only, no advance bookings or surgery, PetsApp not monitored, and medication supplied only if essential.

Microchipping is one of the most effective ways to reunite lost pets with their owners—but it only works if the information linked to the microchip is accurate. Every week, veterinary practices come across pets whose microchip details are out of date, making it difficult (and sometimes impossible) to contact their owners quickly.

🎄🐾 Those festive treats might look tempting… but for pets, they could mean an emergency vet visit.
Keep your mince pies and Christmas goodies safely out of reach this holiday season.
