Our pets are always here to offer us love, joy and companionship, which is why we want to help you protect them and give them the everyday care they deserve.

MiPet Cover and The Healthy Pet Club have joined forces so we can all do the #BestForPets.

We want to help your furry friends have everything they need for their lifelong health and wellbeing.

What is #BestForPets all about?

We’re doing the #BestForPets by helping you to arrange pet insurance for unexpected illness and injuries and by making sure everyday health care is taken care of with a preventative health care scheme.

1. We’re clearing up the confusion between pet insurance and preventative health care schemes and how they can both help your pet live their best life.
2. We offer both MiPet Cover (pet insurance) and The Healthy Pet Club (preventative health care). They work pawfectly in partnership for your pet’s continued care and protection.
3. You can spread the cost with monthly payments, available for both your MiPet Cover pet insurance and your Healthy Pet Club membership.
4. Multi pet discounts: 5% saving on MiPet Cover and £1 off per additional pet with The Healthy Pet Club.
5. We can help your new puppy and kitten get the best start in life with four weeks’ free WalkawayCover pet insurance, giving you the time you need to think about your pet’s cover for the future.

For puppies and kittens

Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is an exciting time for all of the family.

As we’re always here to do the #BestForPets, we can offer:

• Four weeks’ free WalkawayCover pet insurance from MiPet Cover, giving you the time you need to research and choose your pet’s lifetime policy.

For dogs and cats

As our pets grow up, they still need to be covered against accidents and illnesses as well as continue with treatments and vaccinations to keep their health in tip top condition.

This year is the 15th anniversary of Rabbit Awareness Week and the campaign will cover all aspects of rabbit care through their lifetime.

Rabbits are living longer as we learn more about how to care for them properly and as veterinary medicine advances.

This means rabbit owners will have their bunnies right through to old age and as a result will need to adapt aspects of their care to suit their needs e.g. having a life-stage appropriate diet and making adaptations to their housing.

The campaign covers advice for new owners bringing home young rabbits, right through to looking at caring for adult and mature rabbits.

The campaign will appeal to all rabbit owners, whether they have only just got their pets or had them for years. There will also be advice for those who are thinking about giving a home to rabbits.

You can find out more about the campaign here: https://www.burgesspetcare.com/raw/owners/ or visit our rabbit healthcare advice section.

Veterinary Nursing Awareness month is a yearly celebration in recognition of the skills and value registered veterinary nurses bring to animal health and welfare.

Under their job title as regulated professionals, Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) work closely with our Veterinary surgeons to ensure that your pets are cared for in the best possible way.

Registered Veterinary Nurses have undertaken rigorous training and completed demanding examinations to achieve qualification and entry onto the Register of Veterinary Nurses held by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

On any given day, our RVNs may find themselves collecting and testing laboratory samples, taking X-rays, medicating patients in the hospital ward, monitoring anaesthetics, dressing wounds, assisting with surgical procedures and performing minor procedures such as suturing wounds and removing benign skin masses. The list goes on!

Did you also know that our RVNs are qualified to offer a diverse range of consultations and clinics within the practice?

The following are examples of just a few:

• Preventative healthcare advice.
• 6 monthly Healthy Pet Club health checks.
• Pre and post-operative checks.
• Help with Chronic disease management such as Osteoarthritis, Diabetes, Kidney disease, skin disease & more.
• Nutritional advice.
• Wound management.
• 2nd & 3rd Vaccines.

Some RVNs undertake specialist training in a range of topics, especially the care of exotic pets, feline medicine, anaesthesia, emergency and critical care, wound management and dentistry.
