Having lived and worked in South Wales for 11 years, initially in Rhondda Cynon Taf and Cardiff, I have finally found my home in beautiful Penarth, where I also volunteer as an RNLI crew member. Growing up as the son of a dentist may have influenced my passion for veterinary dentistry.
Whilst coronavirus has gripped the globe, caring and treating animals must continue—albeit socially distanced. Picking up on the genuine concerns of his clients, Dave reassures pet owners in Penarth that everything will be ok. Are vets still open?
Yes most surgeries are still open, but may be running reduced hours and working on a triage system. Most will initially be offering telephone or video consultations. Please be patient with your vet in these unprecedented times. They are working extremely hard to juggle animal welfare at the same time as ensuring human safety. This has been an extremely challenging task, and will continue to be while the backlog of postponed routine work is triaged, and the relative urgency assessed. Please know that your pet’s welfare will always be of utmost importance.
