Having opening its doors back in March to clients, Leighton’s Companion Care Vets+ has now decided to invite local groups and schools to visit its new veterinary practice.
The 1st Linslade Guides were the first to visit the Grovebury Road’s vets and on arrival at the surgery the girls were given a demonstration in the groom room, where pets go for a pampering.
A spokesman for Companion Care+ said: “We then showed them around the practice going through all our facilities including our digital x-ray machine, ultrasound, lab machines for in-house blood tests, our theatre, prep room, kennels, isolation suite and consultation rooms.
“The girls were shown examples of x-rays, ultrasounds and could listen to their pulse with our capnograph which we use during all anaesthetics. They were shown our operating theatre and the instruments we use for operations, along with the anaesthetic machines.”
The Guides were also told about microchipping, the importance of flea and worm treatment, keeping their pet’s teeth healthy and the importance of the correct diet for their pet.
The spokesman added: “Following their attendance we now have another Guide group visiting from Leighton Buzzard and also a Rainbows Group. If you are interested in your local group visiting or would just like a look around yourselves call us on 01525 384985 or email leightonbuzzard@companioncare.co.uk.”
