Our Team
At the Hornby Veterinary Centre we know that your pet is a loved and important member of your family, and that you want them to enjoy a long and happy life. Our veterinarians and nurses believe in providing the highest level of care whilst treating every pet with dignity and compassion.
The hospital has been designed to make your pets visit as comfortable as possible. Just as people don’t always like going to the doctor, we know that pets don’t always like going to the vets! Our waiting room is light and spacious with separate dog and cat wards so your pet can recuperate in comfort. Our vets believe in discussing treatment options, providing transparent pricing and explaining clinical plans. This allows clients to be involved and to make an informed choice about the treatment their pet receives.
