We aim to develop a long-term relationship between our clients, our patients and our staff. Our dedicated team of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses will always make your pets feel at home.

We offer a nurse ambulance collection/delivery service for your pet under special circumstances with 15% discount given to OAP’s or impaired mobility clients. Contact us for more information and any Covid related restrictions.

  • The second blood machine is a ‘snap’ analyser which lets us carry out tests for ourselves which previously had to be sent to the external lab eg: thyroid testing or pancreatitis. This will mean quicker results and lower costs for you the owners.
  • Our third blood machine is a ‘catalyst’ machine for PAP’s electrolytes, thyroid testing etc -again to allow for quicker results and lower costs for you the owners.
