Pets treated

Most first-opinion practices see dogs and cats, and many also treat rabbits and small pets. Expertise with exotics (reptiles, birds, ferrets) varies, so if you keep an unusual species, ask RSPCA before booking. Our food-safety checker covers dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters.
