Company
he practice was started in the 1970’s by Mr & Mrs Moravec. It originally looked after all types of animals but later became more specialised, treating only small animals.
In 1995 the practice was sold and became Bray House Veterinary Practice. It became the only 100% small animal practice in the area. Over time, the practice has developed and grown.
As the customer list has increased we have been able to employ more vets. We make sure that we employ vets who have a similar interest in the care and welfare of small animals.
In 2003 the practice opened a new venture in Grantham. The nurses and vets were so confident of their care and compassion we entered the Grantham Journal Business Awards for Customer Care. In 2004 we won this award beating ASDA into second place.
All our vets undergo constant continuing education programmes and both practices are involved in veterinary nurse training. The practices are members of the RCVS, BVA and BSAVA.
The practice also provides help with various companies with regard to the export of finished food products. In the past we have provided extensive help to Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, Masterfoods, Mars, Telfer Foods, Marks & Spencers, and Arla Foods.
In 2019, our Melton practice were finalists for the Melton Times Customer Focus Award.
