About Us
Our vision is ‘to create and nurture relationships to deliver dedicated veterinary care to pets and their families’.
Why Choose Us?
We love creating ongoing relationships with our patients and pet owners and to work together as a team to ensure your pet has the best life possible. We are a dedicated local business and our commitment and promise to you is that all our decisions and actions will be based around the following core values:
- Authentic
- Supportive
- Inclusive
- Adaptive
- Collaborative
- Advocacy
Our team has chosen these values, and we base every single decision or action on them.
The overall vision we have for ‘why we do what we do’ is:
‘Creating and nurturing relationships to deliver dedicated care for pets and their families.’
To us this means the relationship we form with you as pet owners, our relationship with each other as a working team (our culture of being warm and welcoming is really important to us) and also how our actions can improve the relationship pet owners can have with their pets. We are all pet owners ourselves so understand the strength of this connection.
One of the things that makes us the most happy is when pets and their owners pop in for a social visit only. We love being part of their life!

Where are we?
We are located at 138 Wingrove Street, Fairfield.
Parking
There are usually short term parks available on the street outside. There is also parking in Martin Court.
Safety
To keep you and your pets safe we do require all dogs to be on a lead and all cats to be in secure cat carriers. We do ask that you are conscious of other pets in the clinic. (For example your dog may love saying hello to the cat, however the feeling might not be reciprocal!)
Previous history
Please remember to tell our team about any treatment or previous health issues your pet might have had. A good idea is to ask your previous vet to email us a copy of your pet’s history to [email protected] (It’s also a great way to ensure we can program important healthcare reminders for your pet).
Never visited a vet?
Here is what to expect:
When you arrive you will be greeted by one of our friendly team. We generally weigh all dogs in the reception, (cats and small pets weighed in consultation rooms). We will always ask, but please do let us know if you would prefer no treats to be given to your dog. The vet will then take you and your pet through to one of our spacious consultation rooms for your pet’s exam where they will ask you about your pet’s history and conduct a full physical exam. After the consult, payment is made at reception and any medication required dispensed and explained. Payment is required at the time for all treatments or products.
