Our waiting area is now open

We are so excited to be able to welcome you into our beautiful waiting room, we hope you like it as much as we do!

To help us comply with government guidelines, help reduce the risk of spread and remain fully operational your visit to the hospital will be a little different than usual. You and your pets will still receive the same amazing care.

We’ve introduced a new process

  1. Arrival – Please come to the front door. Cats must be in a cage and dogs on a lead.
  2. Please use the hand sanitiser provided when entering the clinic.
  3. We ask that when possible 1 person per pet comes into the clinic.
  4. To allow for social distancing we have a limit of 4 clients in our waiting room at any one time. If reception is busy, please use the intercom to inform us of your arrival and wait outside.
  5. Please ensure you leave a 1.5 metre gap between yourself and others in the waiting room.
  6. Due to social distancing requirements and the size of our consultation rooms we ask that you wait in the waiting room while the vet examines your pet. They will discuss their findings/treatments with you in the waiting room.
  7. Don’t worry your pet will get lots of fuss, treats and TLC from our lovely vets and nurses during their examination.
  8. We ask that contactless payment methods are used, we are not accepting cash at this time.
