Company

We specialise in family pets and small animals. Along with your lovely dogs and cats, we care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs – as well as rats, mice and ferrets. We love them all!

If you have an unusual small pet, please do Call Us.  If we can look after it, to our own high standards, that’s great – and if we don’t think we’re the best choice for your pet, we’ll tell you.

Our wonderful and loyal clients come from Worcester and right across the surrounding area – from Malvern, Tewkesbury and Kidderminster, as well as Bromyard, Bromsgrove, Kempsey, Upton and Droitwich. Thanks so much for choosing us!

Our particular expertise also means that other vets refer their clients to us. So if your usual vet has suggested you come for advanced investigation and treatment, we are delighted to see you here – and we’ll do everything possible to make you and your pet feel at home
