At Stanhope Park Veterinary Hospital our exceptionally high standards can be seen consistently throughout our 3 practices. The biggest practice is based on Stanhope Road in Darlington and is an RCVS accredited hospital which can accommodate all types of major surgery. We also have a separate Cats and Exotics Clinic just round the corner on Duke Street, which is an extension of our Stanhope Road Hospital, allowing us to treat cats and exotic species in a dedicated stress-free environment!
