Hugh Dolan MVB MRCVS

Based on the latest reviews, the clinic is used most often for dogs and cats, with owners highlighting fast access to care (including being seen “so quickly”) and straightforward decision-making (one owner says earlier, more expensive treatment elsewhere was “incorrect” and they got the treatment their dog “needed” here). Reviews also mention going beyond routine hours in specific situations (opening late at night for a sick fox) and support with end-of-life care for a cat (“made the final part easier”).
