A VETS' surgery is holding an open day this weekend, with family activities on offer.

The Gilmoor Veterinary Centre, in Durham, will give visitors the chance to look round the practice, learn more about a pet blood donor scheme and chat with staff.

The Durham County animal ambulance will also be present and there will be a display of falconry.

Pet owners can get their animals a free dental check, as part of the National Pet Smile Month which runs next month.

The Gilmoor Veterinary Centre, in the Hare and Hound Veterinary Centre, on Sunderland Road, Gilesgate, will be open on Sunday, between 1pm and 4pm.
