We believe that nutrition is an important part of keeping pets healthy and can also play a vital part in the treatment of some illnesses. This is why we stock a select range of cat and dog pet food in practice, helping to take the faff out of pet food for our clients by recommending diets that have been scientifically created to provide optimal nutrition, which tastes great!
Cat's nutritional requirements are very different from those of dogs or humans. They must be fed high levels of easily digestible protein and this protein needs to be meat, because it is the only source of some amino acids (building blocks of protein) essential for felines. Although cats can make use of carbohydrates (including some sugars), their main source of energy is from protein.
We all know that a balanced diet plays an important part in maintaining our dog's health and vitality. What we are not so clever at remembering is that dog's nutritional requirements are different from our own - what is good for us is not necessarily good for our dogs. Additionally, requirements vary depending on the age, size, breed and lifestyle of a dog.
Our cats and dogs cannot make sure that their teeth and oral health are in good order. They're not able to brush their teeth twice daily nor willing to go to the dentist every 6 months, so we must take care of their teeth for them!
Some dogs can be a little shy of their mouth being opened if they are not used to it, and so it makes sense to make a mouth examination part of your general puppy training (along with looking in the ears and looking at the feet - all sensitive areas) to get your dog used to this type of handling.Poor dental hygiene can cause chronic (long term) pain and discomfort for your pet.

It's a bit further from our home but definitely worth the trip. From the reception to the vets everyone is totally professional. They don't make you feel as if you're just a number, and are really interested in the health and wellbeing of your animal. After some negative experiences with other practice's, I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

I am very pleased with Portchester Vets. They are always courteous on the phone and friendly when you visit the surgery. The Vets and nurses are always happy to explain everything fully. They always make a fuss of the animals, which makes it a happier place for the animals and the owners. I would definitely recommend the surgery to other people with the confidence that their pets would be fully cared for. Thank you.

Our pets are always happy going there. The staff are kind and always make us feel that our animals are the loveliest they have seen. They make me as an owner feel relaxed and comfortable. The staff are professional, kind and knowledgeable. They are always on the end of the phone to give help and advice (they were fabulous when my cat was pregnant and then with the kittens) nothing was too much trouble when I called for advice. Would highly recommend this practice. 👌

I can’t thank this practice enough, we have been going through a really rough time with our pooch, he has had 3 operations and lots of treatment in a short space of time and they have been there for me when ever I have been worried! Seen him on short notice! They are all amazing but a big thank u to Katie!! Buster owes her a big kiss! ( even tho he is not a fan of vets anymore🐶😊) he is very grateful for what has been done for him. So thank you all x
