Thank you everyone.
Everyone of the staff at straightens are heroes in my eyes you dedicate ever day to ensuring the best care is given to our beloved animals and I personally want to thank you all especially after our recent emergency with our little girl Phoebe who needed emergency surgery without that quick thinking and expertise I dread to think what would have happened to her, a million thank you's to you all xx
☹️Today is a super sad day as we are saying bye to nurse Tori!
Nurse Tori has been at Straitons for 7 years. She trained here, became a Registered Veterinary Nurse here, and brightened up the place.☀
She is heading off to pastures new to further her career at a referral practice in Derbyshire. We are very proud of Tori and all that she has achieved. She is a big part of the team and is going to be sorely missed.
Today is her last day working, so if you see her, please don’t hesitate to send your best wishes.🙏
You’ve got this Tori!🍀
All the luck in the world, from all of us here at E.C. Straiton & Partners.💚

Lockdown is well and truly over... for chickens!!🐓
If you haven't seen already, the government, along with Defra, released a statement that poultry and captive birds no longer needed to remain housed and 'indoors' from Wednesday 31st March.🙏👏🥳 The measure was put in place last December to help prevent the spread of Avian Flu. The risk of spread has now been reduced to 'medium'.
Whilst they are now allowed out, you are being urged to keep taking extra precautions with cleaning, disinfecting and changing clothing/footwear when entering enclosures.
Anyone else's birds keen for the great outdoors?🌥🌱
