It's going to be a scorcher of a week so please take precautions if your pet has an appointment with us.

We have lovely air conditioning throughout the practice, but would advise that you don't walk to us and instead cool your car down if you have air conditioning before you put your pet in, and drive to your appointment. We wouldn't recommend travelling with your pet in a car that doesn't have air conditioning.

If you would prefer to cancel your appointment then please let us know by emailing [email protected]
