Our practice motto is ‘Best of Care: Modern Medicine, Traditional Values’. Care that encompasses welcoming our clients and rewarding their loyalty with discounted Pet Health Plans. Care for our patients, ensuring not just that our clinical standards remain optimal, but that each pet presented to the practice is treated by all staff just as we treat our own. Care for our staff, encouraging and funding training courses for constant professional development.

In our Newquay, Pool and Padstow & St Merryn local practices, we have established clinical and reception teams so you can be sure friendly and familiar faces will greet you and your pet at each visit.

Our St Columb Major Hospital, with clinical staff on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is equipped as a local clinic, referral centre and emergency clinic.
