All members of the Evergreen team are dedicated to treating every pet as if it were our own with empathy and understanding. We aim to exceed your expectations providing high quality good value veterinary care.

We advise a new pet health check with one of our vets or fully qualified nurses to every client who registers their new pet with us. Our experienced nurses and vets are also able to offer a wide variety of advice, ranging from dental hygiene, weight clinics, nutrition & senior health monitoring programs.

Prescriptions are available from this practice
You may obtain Prescription Only Medicines Veterinary, (POM-Vs) from your veterinary surgeon OR ask for a prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or a pharmacy.

Your veterinary surgeon may prescribe POM-Vs only for animals under their care. A prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary. You will be informed, on request, of the price of any medicine that may be dispensed for your animal.

The general policy of this practice is to re-assess an animal requiring repeat prescriptions every 6 months (12 months for flea and wormer), but this may vary with individual circumstances.

Please note we require 48 hours notice for repeat prescriptions.
Pets who are prescribed ongoing medications for medical conditions will need a 6 monthly medication review with a Veterinary Surgeon.

PLEASE NOTE:
From 1st September the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS, regulatory body for the veterinary profession in the UK) is introducing new guidance on prescribing prescription-only medicines. The full guidance can be found on: https://www.rcvs.org.uk/setting-standards/advice-and-guidance/under-care-new-guidance/ The new guidance requires that a physical examination of the pet has to be performed every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasiticides are prescribed. This includes topical preparations such as ear and eye drops, and all prescription flea/worm/tick products.

The guidance is an important step towards ensuring responsible antimicrobial use and reducing the veterinary impact on the wider issues of global antibiotic resistance and decline of insect populations. What this means in practice is that your pet will need to come in for an in-person consultation every time - we need to prescribe medication for an ear infection (as most contain antibiotics) - we need to prescribe antibiotics for any skin problem, even if it’s a chronic problem - we/you decide to change from one flea/worm/tick product to another - we suspect a urinary tract infection (remote/online consultation and urine analysis/culture are no longer sufficient) - we suspect a gastrointestinal infection (remote/online consultation and faecal analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)

We also can no longer prescribe prescription deworming products on the basis of a laboratory report alone, we will need to see the pet for a consultation and physical examination first. For long term prescription medication that is not an antimicrobial/antiparasitic, our usual policy of requiring an examination every 6 months (or every 3 months in some less stable or more serious cases) continues to apply. The consultations are charged at our usual fee, depending on whether it’s an initial consultation or one for a recurring problem. If you have any questions or concerns about the new guidance, RCVS can be contacted on: 020 7202 0789 or advice@rcvs.org.uk.
