There are three consultation rooms, a large waiting area with dedicated zones for cats, dogs, and anxious pets, and a quiet non-clinical room designed for end-of-life care.
• The nursing team is highly skilled, with colleagues undertaking further qualifications in areas such as ultrasonography, advanced medical nursing, anaesthesia, feline behaviour, and dermatology. The practice promotes environmental initiatives, supports wildlife care through a fund for strays, and offers on-site kennels so team members can bring dogs to work.
