With dedicated staff managing both incoming cases and inpatients, we offer two theatre suites (one for advanced surgeries), a dental suite, and separate wards for dogs and cats, highlighting our commitment to feline-friendly care. Our practice includes five consulting rooms to accommodate a diverse caseload, including soft tissue and orthopaedic cases. Join us and work alongside our advanced clinical team, which includes surgical certificate holders

About animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique non-profit, Community Interest Company. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term. 

Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill.
