The Vet Practice

As well as seeing dogs, cats and other small animals that visit our clinics, we also travel to properties to treat a range of other species.

These include Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Alpacas and even the occasional pig.

The reason for the visit can be vitrually anything - from lame horse to an emergency caesarean on a cow and anything in between. A typical day for us will generally include some farm visits which are scheduled according to urgency just like any other appointment.

In order for us to examine and treat the patient some preparation is needed. This includes

• providing a means of confining the patient such as a crush or a small yard as well as
• people to assist with handling and restraint.

Because the vet will need to discuss treatment options and costs, it's important that you (the owner) of the patient arrange to be there too.

Costs will depend on the nature of the call. For most routine procedures such as consultation fees, travel charges, geldings and pre-purchase examinations - we can provide fees on enquiry.

In all other cases, the fees will depend on the type of treatment required and the medications needed.

Booking your farm visit.

Most of our routine farm visits are done during the week from late morning to late afternoon Other times are preferably reserved for urgent and emergency work only.

Please book your visit for a date and time that allows you to be there too.
