Company

Manor’s roots are deep, going back more than 120 years to when the practice serviced the pit ponies. In the mid 20th century it was owned and run by the famous horse vet Mr Dawes. He was renowned for his knowledge of equine medicine and was president of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for many years.

Today we are still renowned for our expertise and we have won several awards for our innovative approach to veterinary practice, especially client care. The whole team is very proud of our practice and we are constantly striving to develop and improve it raising standards of client and patient care. Recently we have launched our unique 24 hour opening with vets and nurses on site waiting for your call and attending to inpatients 24 hours a day. 

We encourage our medical staff to continue their education in specialist fields in order to expand their knowledge and keep it up to date. Our aim is to discuss all aspects of your pet’s health with you, offering you all the options that are available in treatment and prevention. We understand and respect the fact that not all clients have the ability to fund the most advanced treatments.
