LINK CYCLING

People love their pets in Swindon and because of this dedication to our two or four-legged friends, there are lots of different local services and pet retail businesses that can help us take care of them.

A word from a local veterinary practice:

Thameswood Veterinary Clinics

Thameswood Vets are a family-run veterinary business which offers a wide range of procedures and services for pets. As well as animal check-ups and surgical procedures, Thameswood offer youth club services, dentistry, VIP pet health plans, a 7+ drop in centre for older pets, and K-laser therapy for pets with conditions such as arthritis.

The local veterinary practice are keen this month to highlight the importance and value of the Laparoscopic Spay procedure. A spokesperson from Thameswood said: “This type of keyhole surgery only involves a small incision, meaning less discomfort and scarring.

“Tissue is removed without tearing or traction, meaning less pain or trauma for your pet. Additionally, the good visualisation of this surgical procedure helps to minimize complications. Pets will usually not need stitches - as special skin adhesive is used.

“After undergoing a Laparoscopic Spay, your pet will be back to normal much more quickly too, due to shorter recovery time.”
