We believe patient safety to be a priority and thus we use the most up to date inhalation anaesthetic equipment. All sterile procedures ranging from neuterings to orthopaedic and abdominal surgery are carried out at both our clinics. Our clinics were first established in 1986 and have remained a privately run practice ever since.
We have two veterinary practices in Bristol located roughly 1.5 miles apart in Hanham and Kingswood. Over the years we have grown and developed an orthopaedic referral service which operates out of our Hanham Clinic. In the event of an emergency please telephone 01179 677 067 and a recorded message will give simple instructions on how to contact the veterinary surgeon on duty.

Facilities
Report
We offer appointments throughout the day. In emergencies please phone first if possible, but we will always endeavour to see your pet as quickly as we can. We have fully equipped operating theatres at both Hanham and Kingswood. We believe patient safety to be a priority and thus we use the most up to date inhalation anaesthetic equipment.
Visits
Report
In most circumstances we recommend that all pets are brought to the surgery where we have all the facilities and equipment to deal with any medical or surgical eventuality. However, in some cases, a home visit may be appropriate and this can be arranged by telephoning our clinics. Some clients feel that when the time has come for their beloved pet to be euthanased they would prefer a house visit.
Hospitalisation
Report
Wherever possible patients are discharged on the same day as their operation, as we feel most pets recover more quickly, and are happier in their home environment. However, after major surgery, or in acutely ill patients, hospitalisation sometimes may be necessary. All our patients are housed in modern, comfortable hygienic accommodation and are cared for by our dedicated nursing team during their stay.
Emergencies
Report
If you are concerned about your pet during our opening hours please phone to speak to one of our nurses. In an emergency situation we will endeavour to see your pet as soon as possible at either our Hanham or Kingswood surgery.
In the event of an emergency, or should you need urgent advice when the surgeries are closed, please telephone any of the 01179 677067 and a recorded message will give simple instructions on how to contact the veterinary surgeon on duty.
