A North Yorkshire vet has celebrated 20 years of caring for its community’s pets.

Vets for Pets, located on Hookstone Chase in Harrogate, marked the milestone with a birthday party for their clientele and their pets on Saturday (August 10).

The event saw pupcups on offer for the canines attending, while goodie bags, games and behind-the-scenes surgery tours were also given to guests.

It also featured a tombola with prizes donated by local businesses.

The day also saw a behaviourist, a pet photographer, and Saving Yorkshire’s Dogs (SYD), Cats Protection, and Street Paws attend the event.

The vet branch said they will be offering a free vet consultation worth £50 to new clients and microchips for any pet who needs one for only £10 for the rest of the calendar year to mark the milestone.

Dr Leigh-Anne Brown, practice owner and veterinary surgeon at Vets for Pets Harrogate, said: “Reaching the milestone of 20 years is a phenomenal achievement and one that the whole team is immensely proud of.

“We are so grateful to our amazing patients and their owners for supporting our practice and it’s been a privilege to be a part of the local community for so many years.

“From visiting local schools to help inspire the veterinary professionals of the future, to developing relationships with our long-standing clients, as well as providing the highest level of care to all of our patients, we have so much to celebrate.

“For me personally, it has been so rewarding to nurture and mentor the careers of some many colleagues who have worked at the practice over the years.”
