Just like us, our pets feel the cold; whilst we can indulge in hot drinks and wrap up in layers and warm up by the fire, you should also consider how to keep your pets happy and warm as the temperatures start to fall.

Over the last year in Hawick, we have seen our costs increase significantly and we have absorbed the majority of these additional costs to try and support our customers during difficult times. However, with costs continuing to escalate, our prices need to increase to offset at least some of these higher costs.

These changes will be implemented with us at Hawick Vets from 05 December 2022.

Please note that all existing estimates prior to 05 December will be honoured for four weeks.

If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the team.

Thank you for your continued support.

As with any business in Hawick, a vet practice such as ours at Hawick Vets needs a strong supporting team for the non-clinical business functions. The client care team will generally be the first and last port of call for pets and their owner. Depending on the size of the practice, this can include:

A patient care assistant in Hawick works alongside and supports the whole practice team to achieve the highest standards of patient care. Under the direction and supervision of a veterinary surgeon or registered veterinary nurse (RVN) they will assist with monitoring of inpatients, infection control and handling animals safely for procedures such as injections, blood samples, bandage changes and nail clipping.

Spring is an exciting time for most of us in Hawick, pets included! Lighter nights mean more opportunities for being outdoors in and around Hawick. To ensure a happy and safe season for your animals, take a minute to make yourself aware of hidden dangers which could lead to a poorly pet.
