About Us
We are one of three Vets for Pets practices in Norwich and although we are situated inside Pets at Home we are individually owned and run. Norwich is a lovely city to live and work in with what we think is the right mixture of city and countryside. We are 30 minutes from the beach, 15 minutes from the broads yet only 5 minutes’ drive away from the city centre. In Norwich city centre we have an amazing array of shops for those that enjoy their retail therapy. We also have a wonderful cathedral and some beautiful architecture that you really should visit if you can.
We have a supportive, experienced team and across the Norwich group with certificate holders in surgery and ophthalmology and four other vets currently studying for certificates. We have a brand-new ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, endoscopy, tonometry, slit lamp, multi parameter units for both theatres and full in-house lab.
