We Won! Double accolade at ‘Best UK Vets Awards 2023’

June 19, 2023

Windmill Veterinary Centre given double accolade at BestUKVets Awards 2023

On Wednesday 14th June, at a memorable Gala Awards Ceremony, the winners of the BestUKVets Awards 2023 were announced with Windmill Veterinary Centre being named as Best in County and in UK Top 25.  In front of an audience of over 150 veterinary professionals in London, Windmill Veterinary Centre scooped the double accolade having gathered outstanding feedback from pet owner clients… A hattrick for the practice after winning in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The BestUKVets Awards celebrate vet practices that delight their clients and are presented to practices across the UK with the most 4 or 5 star online reviews in each category.  In order to select the winners, Awards organisers analyse over 15,500 reviews left by pet owners on vet practice websites throughout the year. Every vet practice in the UK is eligible and already registered via their listing on any-uk-vet.co.uk and VetHelpDirect.com and around half get involved.

The Awards reflect dedication to customer service and outstanding care, with the practice over 611 four and five star reviews and our branch in Buckingham over 75 four and five star reviews.

The award reflects dedication to customer service and outstanding care and is a  wonderful recognition of the hard work of the whole team.

Susie Samuel, CEO of VetHelpDirect, explains: “The BestUKVets Awards were established 11 years ago to reward vet practices that delight their pet owning clients.  We are so pleased that this practice has been recognised and local pet owners should be reassured that their pets are in very safe hands!”

 

Avian Influenza Prevention Zone now in force

November 4, 2021
IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT BIRD FLU
An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) has come into force across Great Britain as of 5pm on 3rd November 2021. This means it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers to follow strict biosecurity measures to protect their birds from avian influenza (bird flu).
The AIPZ means bird keepers across Great Britain must:
• Keep domestic ducks and geese separate from other poultry.
• Ensure the areas where birds are kept are unattractive to wild birds, for example by netting ponds, and by removing wild bird food sources;
• Feed and water your birds in enclosed areas to discourage wild birds;
• Minimise movement in and out of bird enclosures;
• Clean and disinfect footwear and keep areas where birds live clean and tidy;
• Reduce any existing contamination by cleansing and disinfecting concrete areas, and fencing off wet or boggy areas.
• Keep free-ranging birds within fenced areas, and that ponds, watercourses, and permanent standing water must be fenced off (except in specific circumstances e.g. zoo birds).
