Ticks found on ‘one third’ of dogs in the UK!
We are definitely seeing more ticks in our area and for more of the year. Plus more cases of lymes disease which spread when ticks attach. (Prevention is important) Confirmed by a BBC report this morning – Ticks found on ‘one third’ of dogs, researchers.

Ticks being repelled by an effective treatment
Look away if you don’t like beasties! This is a great video showing how effective tick treatments prevent ticks feeding and therefore spreading diseases like Lymes disease to our pets. Most tick treatments do not work this way – ticks have to feed first, please give us a call or pop in for advice on how best to protect your pet. (The product used in the video is a prescription only medicine so we are legally not allowed to tell you what it is online, we can only tell you face to face!)

How Vets water hanging baskets!
Our Aggers pump can deliver 20 litres of life saving fluids and nutrients to cattle in a matter of minutes.
It’s also pretty useful for watering the hanging baskets.

Pet Health Articles Launched!
We have just uploaded 6000 information fact sheets onto our website on almost everything there is to know about pets. From medical conditions, drugs, dog breeds, behaviour, nutrition, breeding, parasites and much more.
Plus we have a number of ‘How To Videos’ including how to medicate your pets ears!
Please take a look at let us know what you think.
New technology in Veterinary Medicine!
Imagine if your pet could swallow this ‘pill’ which contains a camera and we could get a video recording of the inside of their intestinal system!
Well the technology is here! We have just come across a company in the US (Alicam) that produces these pill cameras.
An email is on its way enquiring into costs etc but if it’s affordable it would change the way we investigate pets with gut problems – seeing the entire intestine with no anaesthetic!
The futures here!
Only one bit of bad news…someone has to find it when it comes out the other end and unfortunately they will be at home when that happens!
Sorry!
Donview Vets at Countryside Live 2016
Donview Vets at Countryside Live 2016
Charlie and Andrew ready for the public to arrive!
Donview Vets had a successful day today at Countryside Live 2016 at Uppermill Farm in Kintore. Thousands of people visited the farm from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to learn about the day to day running of a working farm. Donview Vets handed out over 300 goody bags to visitors and we had a lot of our equipment on display for the children to try out. We also had a competition – guess the name of our practice mascot!
The photo above is of the stand set up and ready before the public arrived. Andrew and Charlie were so busy that they had to call in Charlie’s family to help out – Daina (one of our part time Vets) was helping on the stand and their kids were handing out the goody bags!
