About Us
We have a personal approach to looking after our clients and patients and
believe continuity of care and being able to develop a trusting relationship is
important. Your pets are our priority and we would like to
emphasise the fact that their care is a partnership between yourselves and
the practice.
We like to involve you in your pet's
care, with full explanations of your pet's treatment plan so you understand
why we are doing the things we are. Visiting the vet should be as stress
free as possible for both you and your pet, and our team will always
consider your individual needs.
Our Small Animal Hospital is located in the village of Purton and our branch
surgery in Cricklade (consulting only), both sites having ample free parking
and easy access. Wheelchair access at our Purton Hospital is possible but
special arrangements need to be made so please contact us in advance.
We have consultations 7 days a week by appointment only (
Opening Hours). Our appointments are 15 minutes, that's 33% longer than the
average consultation offered in the area and as such the best value for
money in Swindon. Members of our Pet Health Club benefit from a 10%
discount across a range of services and products.
We have a strong commitment to maintaining high standards and all of our
team are active in ongoing education. The practice is recognised by the
Royal Veterinary College as an Approved Training Centre for Veterinary
Nurse training and has achieved the Investors in People Award. We have
currently opted out of the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme even though
we would qualify as the scheme needs to be compulsory in our view so all
practices maintain at least minimum standards.
The practice was established in 1985, originally treating all species but over the
years has focused on companion animals. Concentrating our knowledge and skills has obvious
benefits to the care your pet receives. We have 3 veterinary surgeons offering a wide range of veterinary
services including surgery, medicine, x-rays, ultrasound and hospital
facilities. We have a close relationship with
one of the leading referral centers in the UK, based in Swindon and
staffed by the only RCVS
Recognised Specialists in the area.
The practiced is
owned by Graeme Pack MRCVS and Jocelyn Lander VN, who along with
our caring team look forward to seeing you.
