The equine hospital was developed in the late 1990's to include a purpose built equine operating theatre, padded anaesthetic induction and recovery boxes, and a large examination room. The hospital was further expanded to include purpose built isolation facilities, extra stabling (bringing the total number to 19) and indoor stocks for standing surgical and medical procedures. We also have paddock area for inpatient use. Small Animal Hospital

The small animal veterinary surgeons, Con Hassett, David Blow, Craig Hunt, Martin Rudkin, Alison Pagett and Rosie Thorpe have over 75 years of small animal veterinary experience between them and are supported by a team of eight fully qualified veterinary nurses and four trainee veterinary nurses. The small animal department was refurbished in 2002 and has 2 waiting rooms, 4 consulting rooms, a large prep area, 3 operating theatres and a wide range of species specific hospitalisation areas. The vets have a wide range of surgical and medical interests, and can use the latest equipment to diagnose problems and treat your pet.

If you are coming to the Practice whilst the weather is very hot and would prefer to wait in your car (with the air con on) just pop into reception and ask for a pager and we'll buzz you when the vet is ready to see you.

Please do not leave your dogs in the car, even with windows open it's incredibly hot and they can very quickly overheat.

A few pictures here of the walk and our outstanding star Noodle, who completed the walk with the team and although she does have 4 legs they are quite small! Well deserved rest at the end Noodle.
