Christmas

Why do I emphasise the Christmas opening hours so clearly? In more than 6 years as an assistant vet at the small animal clinic Dr Thomas Graf (Cologne), in my year of setting up and expanding a small animal department at the Lahr Animal Health Centre and since 2013 as a practice owner, I have experienced that typical risks occur more frequently around Christmas: foreign food (e.g. high-fat roast leftovers), sweets containing xylitol, swallowed gift ribbon leftovers, scented oils, candles and pine needles. At the same time, many surgeries are closing or reducing operations to a minimum, which is why clear Christmas opening hours are crucial. Our extended emergency service availability from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily offers you planning security.
