I tried to imagine what Open Day at The Vet would be like beforehand. The signs had been up for some time in front of the Boundary Veterinary Centre on the Oxford Road in Abingdon. And so when TODAY arrived I went to find out.
I imagined that it would be a chance to look round the treatment rooms and talk to the vets. There was a little bit of that.
But mostly it was about some of the animal charities the vets and their receptionists support.
The Cats Protection League were there with some of their cats and kittens.
They also had a stall.
There was an information board for another Charity called IAPWA (International Aid for the Protection of Animal).
Some people brought their dogs and were relaxing with Tea and Cakes, or having a go on the raffle or other stalls.
There were also two sheep, and a ferret.
So it was partly a chance to look round the clinic, and partly a fete raising money and awareness for animal charities.
I’m sorry I missed this event, my dogs would have loved it – I can’t walk passed the vets without them pulling to go in and visit everyone!
Yes I missed it, sadly but I shall be sending a donation. I believe that one of the staff is going out to help with one of the charity efforts abroad for a short while.
