Company
As owners ourselves we know that our pets are part of the family, and how important it is to be involved in their care and well-being. Our aim is to work with you to provide high quality care, treatment and vet advice, whether your pet needs major surgery or a routine but important checkup and vaccination.
The practice is owned and run by Jackie Cox and Margo Scott who have been with the practice for 20 and 30 years respectively, and have owned the business since 2003. They are helped by experienced assistant vets and dedicated, qualified veterinary nurses, plus a support team on reception. Most of us have been with the practice for many years, which means we get to know our clients well, and familiar staff care for our patients from puppy and kittenhood through to old age. Our staff are encouraged in their career development and attend courses to keep them up to date. We are a veterinary nurse training centre.
