We care for all small animals, wildlife, some exotics and even the odd seal! You will see a variation of routine, preventative and more advanced cases during your working week and you will have the opportunity to work between our sites which will offer you different paces & caseloads. If mentoring is something you enjoy we have lots of opportunity to mentor & support our more recently graduated team members too.

As a group we are well equipped and have an extensive range of surgical and diagnostic equipment available which includes in-house biochemistry / haematology machines, operating microscopes, digital x-ray, ultrasound, video endoscope plus all the usual toys!
