Free Visit Days

As a practice we offer free visit days for vaccinations, routine dentistry, microchipping and repeat prescription checkups/blood tests. Free visit days are run by area (see below) and should be booked at least 48hrs in advance of your appointment day. These visits do not incur a visit fee but all other work will be chargeable and payment will be required to be taken at the time of the visit or in advance of your visit.

To be eligible for a free visit you must also be able to have an appointment at any time on your free visit day, usually between 9am-4pm and be willing to see any veterinary surgeon. However, we will endeavour to meet any requests if we are able to do so. We will also telephone you on the preceding day with your appointment time.
