what to do for new cats or dogs

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your family is a super exciting time!
Burnt Ash Veterinary Clinic offer comprehensive services to ensure your furry companions receive the best care.
Microchipping: Microchipping is a legal requirement in dogs over eight weeks of age. For some parts of the UK (specifically England) it will be a requirement to microchip cats from 10 June 2024, or face a fine. Even without legislation, we recommend microchipping cats, hopefully ensuring that if they become lost or injured, a veterinary practice, the police or an animal sanctuary can scan your pet and identify you as the owner.
Additionally, we provide essential initial vaccinations to protect your pets against common diseases. Our annual booster vaccinations help maintain their immunity, keeping them healthy and happy all year-round. Our experienced team deliver compassionate care and expert advice for all your pet's health needs.
To give your new family member the best start, it is important that they have their vaccinations, a microchip and are regularly treated against internal and external parasites.
Vaccinations: In the early weeks of life, puppies and kittens gain immunity against disease from their mother’s milk. This fades over time and they will need a course of vaccines to ensure they are protected against infectious diseases.

Worming: It is very important to treat puppies and kittens for roundworms (see photo) since they can acquire these from their mothers early in life. As they grow up, they are susceptible to repeated infections with both roundworms and tapeworms and will require regular worming treatment. Additionally, lungworm is a problem for many dogs.
Fleas: Puppies and kittens often arrive complete with a small army of fleas, so it is a good idea for us to give them a check over on arrival! We can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your pet, whilst household sprays are great for treating your home.
Neutering: Cats should be ideally neutered by six months of age. The situation for dogs is more complex and the timing of neutering, and whether it is required, is very dependent on your dog and situation. Our team will be very happy to discuss this with you. Other things to consider include diets, dentistry and pet insurance. We are here to help, so please don’t hesitate to ask us for further information on any aspect of caring for your pets.

If your pet needs to see an experienced vet, call us today on 020 8857 6888.

While our phone lines are manned at all times during the day Monday-Friday, our consultations only take place between 08:00-10:00 and 16:00-19:00.

Customer Reviews

Samantha-Jane O'Sullivan

I've been coming to Greg for over 25yrs with various animals. He has always shown me, my family and the animals care, respect and compassion.
The nurses are equally of exceptional value. Always happy and cheerful and show compassion where its needed. Highly recommend this practice.

David Simpson

EstefI Munoz

Really lovely staff and knowledgeable service. I’ve gone to other vets in the area for my cats but Burnt Ash is far better than the rest. I go there even though its not the closest vet to me.

 

Emma Cate Stokes

A lovely vets. They are so good with our cat and I really trust the vet there. I wouldn't take my cat anywhere else.

Gavin Moorhead

Our cat, Kendra, means everything to us and Greg saved her life. All the staff are friendly and helpful. This vet clinic was recommended by many others and we would certainly recommend them too.

Julie Eccles

So far, I cannot fault this Veterinary Clinic. They have been so helpful and very informative. When we had to have our cat put to sleep, the vet nurses were so caring and kind. Since then, we have new kittens and they have been wonderful with them too. Greg always makes a fuss of the boys. Indie especially loves going and always rolls over for a tummy tickle! Their prices are not extortionate like the previous clinic we attended. Would highly recommend.

Frankie Bye

Gregory handled my cat Tinks brilliantly. She can be very "Spicey" towards vets and quite frankly at times has warranted a Lion tamer. Super impressive vet. Additionally, the receptionists are really nice and helpful. Many thanks, so pleased I registered with you.

Alan Roake

Found a lost dog went to vets to see if dog was chipped the lady went above and beyond to locate the owner very professional a credit to the buisness.

Laurie Roberts

Very good vet. Appointments are made with a realistic duration which means you are rarely waiting beyond the appointed time. And the vet is really knowledgeable and great with animals.

Richard Thompson

I have only good things to say about this vets, I've been going there for over 15 years since I moved into the area. Open on Saturdays and Sundays which is brilliant and so easy to park. I was treated with compassion and kindness when Bella was diagnosed with Cancer, she went on to make a full recovery. Didn't hesitate to register our new puppy Bruno there.
