RACKHEATH VETS DOG SHOW

In June, Rackheath Vets hosted its first dog show at Stracey Park (opposite the practice), which will be an annual event.

Chris, Director and Vet, and Scott Vallance opened the dog show. During the classes, Chris and Scott chatted to owners about their furry contestants, whilst Natasha, our Head Nurse, had the difficult job of choosing a winner and the two runners-up.

Issy Hodgkiss, one of our veterinary nurses, and the Norfolk Dog Training Society put on an agility course for the dogs to try. Alison Burns from Wonderwoofsdogs and Birdie, the super sniffer, wowed the crowds with a scent work demo.

"The day was a great success. The hot weather did not put people off coming with their dogs. We can’t wait to do it all again next year,” a member of staff said.

“What a lovely afternoon. Guide Dog Maci met so many lovely people”, Norwich Guide Dog Fundraising said.

“Very enjoyable afternoon. It was a bit warm, but Willow coped with it. Well organised”, a member of the public said about the event.

Another member of the public said, “Brilliant event and Fabulous turn out! Lots of nice stalls. It was nice to met Guide Dogs UK and Greyhound Yarmouth Homefinders.”

You can register your pets by calling Rackheath Vets on 01603 955056 and speaking to our friendly reception team. We also offer same-day appointments.

Rackheath Vets is just off the NDR and is open Monday–Friday: 8:00 a.m.–6 p.m. and Saturday: 8.30 a.m.–12.30 p.m.
