Company
You would be forgiven for thinking that all veterinary practices are alike - after all every vet wants the very best for their patients - but the variation in service levels is as extensive in the veterinary world as it is in any other profession.
Parkvets is an accredited Tier 3 practice with all the facilities and equipment that would imply. We manage the vast majority of our cases in-house without the need for expensive and inconvenient referral and we operate our own out-of-hours service.
To achieve this we have a team of 16 vets supported by more than 20 nurses - most of whom are fully qualified - who tend our in-patients morning, noon and night. And our vets have over 90 years of cumluative experience, so there is not much we haven't seen.
