treatment of your animal. We treat a variety of animals the most common are

their own area of speciality.

Veterinary Consent
Referrals may be
from your veterinary surgeon or by direct contact from yourself.
Consent to treat your animal will be obtained from your veterinary
surgeon prior to any new assessment or treatment. It is a legal requirement to have consent for anyone to treat an
animal in the UK under the veterinary referrals act 1964. This
legislation has been brought about in order to protect the welfare
of your animals from unqualified practitioners. This also ensures
we work closely with Veterinary Surgeons to provide a team approach
to maximise your animal's recovery.
