About Us

We are a hospital status practice with modern facilities in a traditional building in an expanding market town on the picturesque Shropshire/Welsh border with easy links into Birmingham and Manchester.

We are a mixed practice with a significant farm side, but this role is exclusively small animal. Because of these we see a good proportion of working dogs.

On the companion animal side, we are a first opinion clinic but cover our own out of hours and pride ourselves on the service we can offer our clients.

We function as a team with good support and encourage professional development

We have all the toys you might expect of a hospital including Digital Xray and MMP orthopaedic kit.

Our nurses are on site 24/7 and do a fantastic job out of hours taking the phones and helping the on-call vets making on call that significant bit easier
