We would like to say a BIG well done to Vale veterinary group (Stourport and Kidderminster branches) on Sunday 27th April, completed a 4 mile sponsored dog walk around the bluebell walk of shrawley woods. This was to help raise money for Wyre Forest Animal Rescue as part of National Pet Month. They had a fantastic staff turn out and 11 dogs that all got on well, both the dogs and the staff had a great time even through it rained towards the end.

“Herbal Medicine for Dogs” by Mary Boughton, a director of Dorwest Herbs Ltd, was published a year ago and has already become a reference book for everyone interested in natural treatments for their dogs. It makes an ideal present and a welcome addition to all dog lovers’ libraries.

The book covers the whole area of the use of herbal medicine for animals; how to give the herbs to your dog; why more vets don’t offer these treatments; which plants to use to help specific conditions and a very comprehensive list of the therapeutic value of individual plants.

The book is priced at £5.99 and can be ordered by clicking here For those wanting to order the book on its own, we are offering a reduced postage and packing charge of just £1.50 for First Class delivery, but standard postage charges will apply when ordered with other goods.
