Our Facilities

The practice doubled in size during 2012, adding to an excellent, existing purpose-built practice. We have all the facilities you would expect of a modern and well-equipped veterinary practice catering for the needs of pets and farm animals. When you arrive at our practice, you’ll be pleased to find a large free car park with easy access and plenty of spaces and when you come inside we hope you’ll be comfortable in our large waiting room with separate areas for cats and dogs. Our friendly reception team will be pleased to welcome you.

The best way to see our Facilities before you even arrive is to view our Virtual Tour of the Practice.

The care and comfort of our patients is of the utmost importance to us and our facilities are purpose built to ensure any visit to the vets is as worry free as possible. Our separate cat and dog wards ensure that stress levels are kept to a minimum and our air conditioned and heating building means that any visit or stay with us is comfortable.

We have everything we need to ensure your pets access the best possible care. Alongside all the equipment you would expect of a modern practice, we’ve got a variety of specialist equipment which helps us to help your pets.
