At Friendly Animal Clinic, we’ve been caring for pets and their people for decades. Our experienced team is known for providing reliable, compassionate care, with longer consultation times to ensure every concern is heard and every pet is thoroughly assessed.

Our clinic is fully equipped to provide high-quality veterinary care in a comfortable and modern environment. We now have four spacious consulting rooms, allowing us to see pets promptly while giving each appointment the time and attention it deserves. Our surgical suite includes three fully equipped operating theatres and a dedicated dental suite, ensuring we can handle a wide range of procedures on-site with the latest monitoring technology. We also have advanced diagnostic equipment, including digital X-rays, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory testing, allowing for rapid results and tailored treatment plans. Our spacious kennels, with large-dog bays and intensive care areas, ensure pets can rest and recover in comfort during their stay with us.

We’re an independent, family-run clinic led by husband-and-wife team Myles and Cheryl, who believe in treating every pet like their own. We're proud to be involved in local charity work and offer a range of free nurse-led clinics, including puppy, senior, dental, weight management, and rabbit MOTs — all part of our commitment to giving back to the community.
