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.
Our main surgery is located in the village of Purton and our branch
surgery in Cricklade (consulting only), both sites having ample free parking
and easy access.
We have consultations 7 days a week by appointment only. Our appointments are 15 minutes, that's up to 50% longer than other practices in the area and 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 are accredited members of the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme, with regular inspections to prove our commitment to these high standards.
The practice was established in 1985 and now specialises in the treatment of small animals. We have 3 veterinary surgeons offering a full range of
services including surgery, medicine, x-rays, ultrasound and hospitalisation
facilities. We have a close relationship with the leading specialist centres in the South West. We select specialists based on their education, experience and registration. There is a huge variation in skill between vets who claim "specialist" status especially those who work in first opinion hospitals. Unlike the majority of practices in Swindon we do not own shares in the
local referral centres so do not have any conflict of interest when
choosing a specialist for your pet.
The practice is
owned by Graeme Pack MRCVS and Jocelyn Lander VN, who along with
our caring team look forward to seeing you.
