PHONE THE SURGERY NUMBER TO BE DIRECTED TO THE DUTY VET.

You will either get through to the duty vet, or nurse, or hear a message with details or the mobile number together with our paging service number in case we cannot answer the phone at the time. We might be operating, or in a field with a cow, examining a horse for example. We will return your call and can arrange to visit you or meet you at the surgery depending on your pet’s needs

Home visits for pets:

We encourage our pet owners to bring their animals to the surgery where trained staff and modern diagnostic equipment are readily available. However, in certain circumstances the vets are willing to make home visits, but it is often difficult to give a precise time and there will be an additional charge for such visits. We also have an ambulance service when required.

Fees

We accept most major credit and debitcards, cash and cheques (with bank card).

All private veterinary practices are funded by the fees you pay. We try to keep our fees as affordable as possible. However, in order to do this we ask that payment be made at the time of treatment. We are always pleased to provide a detailed estimate before undertaking any treatment.

Where finance is a problem, clients are requested to discuss this with the veterinary surgeon before treatment commences. Some clients on benefits may be eligible for PDSA support, but this must be applied for in advance by registering under the PDSA Pet Aid Scheme. Please ask at reception for details and an application form.

Pet Insurance

We recommend pet insurance cover for sickness, injury and third party liability, but are unable to recommend specific companies due a change in the law. Specialist investigations such as MRI and CT scans, or orthopaedic treatments or just lengthy investigations can be very expensive, but are made possible by pet insurance, so you can do what is best for your pet.

When choosing a company – pick up leaflets, check the web but be wary of the cheapest policies. Look for “life time” rather than “annual” policies, don’t change companies and start as young as possible to avoid exclusions to the policy.
