OKEFORD Veterinary Centre's Okehampton surgery is hosting an informative evening of short talks and a chance to tour the practice behind the scenes.

In association with this year's National Pet Month, the practice will be opening its doors to pet owners from 7.30pm until 9pm on Wednesday April 14.

Guests will be able to tour the practice, meet the staff and enjoy free refreshments. The vets will be hosting a series of short presentations, providing information on acupuncture, dermatology, dentistry, cardiology, radiography and endoscopy. They will demonstrate equipment and answer questions.

Any donations made on the day will help support National Pet Month 2010 aiming to promote responsible pet ownership. For further details please contact the practice on 01837 52148.
