A career in veterinary practice is often described as a vocation (from the latin vocatus – “calling”) but it is much more than that.

At Best Friends Veterinary Surgery we are all pet owners ourselves. We understand that as well as being a member of the family, your pet is likely your best (and sometimes only) friend. Someone who listens without judging, is there to greet you when you return home, keeps your feet warm at night and gives affection on demand without asking for anything in return. We know the joy they give you each day and the worry that they give when they are sick.

Our primary goal is to keep your pet healthy and in tip top condition through sound advice and good practice. However when things go wrong our caring and sympathetic staff are on hand twenty-four hours a day when you need us most.  Whether it be a friendly reassuring voice on the telephone at 3am, keeping vigil all night over a whelping bitch or visiting the home for that final act of kindness, you will find our experienced staff compassionate and caring.

From the moment a new puppy or kitten enters your lives to the final goodbye we will be here to offer advice and guidance, support and reassurance and most of all friendship and compassion. This is why more and more people like you are choosing us to look after their best friend.
