Independent practice shines spotlight on senior pets
"Events like this allow us to share our knowledge, build relationships, and help ensure our patients enjoy a happy, comfortable later life" - Nicola Yarnton, Practice Manager.

The popular event provided advice on supporting animals throughout their golden years. 

An independent veterinary practice in Suffolk hosted a successful open evening on Wednesday (15 April) focused on the care of senior pets.

Moreton Hall Veterinary Centre’s ‘Super Seniors’ event provided pet owners in Bury St. Edmunds with expert guidance on supporting the health of animals throughout their golden years.

The practice team provided advice on changes owners can expect to see as their pet's age, while experienced vets helped demystify the most common health conditions affecting senior animals.

The centre also showcased its range of services for pets of all ages, including hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, dog grooming and ophthalmology.

Practice manager Nicola Yarnton said: “As an independent practice, we pride ourselves on taking the time to support our community and provide tailored advice for every pet and owner. 

“Events like this allow us to share our knowledge, build relationships, and help ensure our patients enjoy a happy, comfortable later life. Thank you to everyone who came along.”

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
