"We use fear free handing and chemical restraint where necessary and we never, ever scruff cats"

"We have a silver accreditation from ISFM and are mindful of not only our patients general wellbeing but their emotional needs too"

"We use multi-modal analgesia with pain scores. We even use local anaesthetic for our neutering's as standard."
