On Saturday 24th May, Your Family Vets opened its doors to the Knaresborough community for a fun-filled and heartwarming Charity Open Day — and what a fantastic day it was!
From the moment the doors opened, we welcomed both two-legged and four-legged visitors with refreshments, wagging tails, and plenty of smiles. Our team loved showing guests around the practice, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at where the magic happens — from our state-of-the-art operating theatre and dental suite to the x-ray and ultrasound machines, and our in-house laboratory.
It was a pleasure to meet so many of you, share what we do, and answer your questions about caring for your beloved pets. Our team, led by Dr Philip Simon, thoroughly enjoyed connecting with the community we’re so proud to serve.
Outside, the atmosphere was buzzing with fantastic local businesses and organisations. A big thank you to:
- Clicking with Canines – for sharing training tips and showcasing their brilliant dog training services
- Shine On Me Pet Boutique – for their gorgeous pet accessories and gifts
- Nose To The Ground Dog Walking – for displaying their well fitted out van & generous raffle prize.
- Blackdog Hydrotherapy – for showcasing their services including a swimming pool and underwater treadmill, along with the fishy treats.
- Cats Protection League – for their ongoing work with our feline friends
- And the truly mouthwatering Marcella Extraordinary Chocolates – who kept our sweet tooth more than satisfied!
We’re thrilled to say the day not only brought our community together but also raised funds for some wonderful charities doing vital work for animals in need.
Thank you to everyone who came along, supported us, and helped make the day so special. We’re proud to be your local independent vet, and we look forward to many more events like this in the future!
