About this web site

This is a homemade web site put together using FrontPage by our vet David Higginson often into the early hours of the morning, so please excuse any obvious errors! Any prices quoted on this site are given as a guide only and should be checked with reception.
All of our vets and nurses contribute to the site content. We welcome your help, ideas, corrections and any requests for website content.

All medical enquires should be directed by phone to our reception  - 01254 53622.

We are sometimes asked "Why can we not provide a cheaper service?"
We could reduce our fees by 40% by spending HALF as much TIME with our clients, by using OLD-FASHIONED drugs from the 70's and 80's, by using OUT-OF-DATE equipment and UNTRAINED staff. Our service and our medical success would be greatly reduced. We don't do this because we have set ourselves a high standard of veterinary medicine. And other practices are already providing this "cheaper" service.
