We often have visiting specialists who perform cardiac work ups, ultrasonography and soft tissue surgeries.
We are passionate about preventative health and our RVN's play a vital role in promoting this and educating our clients to provide the best care for their pets in the form of nursing consultations to include 2nd Vaccines, behaviour clinics, weight clinics, geriatric clinics and much more! We have numerous loyal clients who still remember the days of John and Rita Adams!

Our Fazakerley clinic has excellent transport links and onsite parking.
About the Team and Culture
We have 5 veterinary surgeons, 6 RVNs, 1 SVN, 1 VCA and 4 receptionists. We pride ourselves in working at one team, despite being split between 2 branches.

We also work closely with Boote Home for Cats (a local cat rescue).
