Issy Needs your Dogs!
Issy is a second year degree Veterinary Nurse and is conducting a study into the overall physical health of our dog population. If your dog is over 1 year old then you can help!
To take part you just need to complete a questionnaire and book for our vet Laura and Head Nurse Natasha to give your dog a complimentary body condition assessment, which will then convert to a score.
We welcome dogs of all shapes, sizes and fitness. Just email headnurse@portlandvets.co.uk or call 01342 327799 to book an assessment.
As a thank you, your dogs name will be entered into a draw for a free booster vaccination!!!
My dog oak is 11 year old collie.
He isn’t great with other dogs
Hi Sarah, sorry for the delay in reply. We can arrange a time that there are less likely to be dogs in the reception area or we can assess Oak in the car park. Please call the practice or email Issy on welcome@portlandvets.co.uk with your details and she can contact you to arrange an appointment. Thank you so much for offering to help her in her study.
Happy to supply Digby or Jess if they can be of help x
Thank you Sarah.

Happy to offer up 2 of mine. Have been advised to ring in on the 6th June to make an appointment – is that right?
Hi Tina,
Yes this is correct. It’s just that we have to have the same to members of the team assessing the dogs for consistent results, and one is on annual leave till then. Once she returns we will know her availability. Thank you for your offer and being available to help. We will see you next week.
