Pig Tales

Fact Sheets

Pig Tales is a monthly newsletter for our pig clients, written by the Larkmead Veterinary Group pig team; Jennie Batt, Liz Bennett, Adrian Cox, Julia James and John Mackinnon. The Pig Tales newsletter is intended to be useful and sometimes amusing. The fact sheets below are précis of the newsletters since January 2006, minus the gossip, notices of meetings, price changes to medicines and other dated information which might confuse. We hope that you find these fact sheets informative.

If you are not yet a client of Larkmead Veterinary Group, but would like to receive our Pig Tales newsletters on a regular basis, either by post or by e-mail, please let us know on pigs@larkmead.co.uk
