Clinic Overview

The Veterinary Centre is a general small-animal practice that also sees a wide range of species (including rabbits, small mammals, birds and reptiles) and is described in the clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website lists core preventative care (consultations and vaccinations) alongside procedures such as surgery and dental care, plus options like laser therapy, nurse clinics and pet travel support.

Based on the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe clear explanations during appointments and calm handling of nervous dogs (including taking time to build trust before giving vaccinations). Several reviews also mention long-term continuity of care (pets attending from first vaccines through neutering and ongoing issues such as acid reflux), and reception staff trying to find the earliest available appointments when owners are worried. Practice ownership (independent vs group) isn’t stated in the information provided.
