Isle Valley Vets in Stoke-sub-Hamdon is inviting people to go behind the scenes and see first-hand how it cares for Somerset's pets.

The practice is opening its doors on September 21, welcoming the community to meet its vets, veterinary nurses, and receptionists.

Between 2pm and 4pm, visitors can tour the facilities, including the operating theatre, imaging suite, kennels, cattery, and the new dental suite with dental X-ray.

There will be demonstrations by vets and nurses, alongside family fun, children's games, competitions, and a bouncy castle.

Emma Hugill, practice manager of Isle Valley Vets, said: "We are very proud to provide the highest levels of care to pets, so we are excited to welcome the local community through our doors so they can see our first-class facilities for themselves.

"Everyone is welcome to come along to the open day, including current clients and local pet owners who just want to find out more about us."

A raffle for StreetVet, offering free veterinary care to pets of the homeless, will take place, with prizes including a pet photo shoot and a hamper of goodies.

StreetVet is supported by VetPartners, the larger veterinary group Isle Valley Vets, as its charity of the year.
