Our calm and relaxed veterinary practice is perfect for cats, rabbits and small dogs, who often find a trip to the vets stressful. Our high-tech x-ray, ultrasound, lab and operating theatres are specially designed for smaller patients (under 20Kg), and you will always see the same 2 vets, supported by our experienced, knowledgeable and above all caring staff. 

Why are we different?

Affordable treatment - As we are an independent, family run surgery, we can provide top quality care at an affordable price. Routine treatment such as vaccinations (£28.50 for cats and £32.50 for dogs), puppy and kitten starter courses (£48.50) and neutering (from £45.00) are all the most affordable in the area allowing you to provide the best possible care your pets.

Cat Friendly Waiting Room  - Cats and small pets can relax in our calm and peaceful large dog-free waiting room.

Same Day Test Results  - Our in-house x-rays, ultrasound and laboratory ensure a rapid diagnosis to get your pet home again as soon as possible

‘Exotic Pet’ Friendly  - Our special hospital and surgical facilities, combined with experienced staff can treat most exotic pets, especially tortoises, reptiles and birds. For more information please see our exotics site:  www.reptileandbirdvet.co.uk

Hassle-Free Insurance  - You only need to pay the excess up front, whilst we complete the paperwork free-of-charge and claim the remainder direct to the practice.

Appointment Times to Suit You  - We offer early morning admissions for day-surgery and late evening consultations, and saturday morning appointments. We have also just started later evening monday appointments.
