24 hr emergency service

The Veterinary Centre is well equipped with the latest facilities

and equipment. It has ample on site parking, with spaces also

available on the road outside.

Small animal consultations are by appointment

(except for Sat am, when we have an open surgery

between 8-30am and 10am )

If you phone 01326 572216 during the practice opening hours, one of

our receptionists will book you an appointment. So that we can provide good

continuity of care, we try whenever possible for you to see a Vet of your choice.

We do carry out home visits, for our small animal clients who can't easily get

to our surgery and for the home euthanasia of sick or aged animals. However

in most other cases, it is preferable if you can bring your pet to the surgery to be

examined. We can then make use of the equipment, facilities and dispensary at

the surgery, in order to give your pet the best treatment available.

For our Farm and Equine clients, we have a totally separate department at the practice. Having its own entrance, reception area and dispensary helps to minimise waiting times and maximise efficiency.

If you would like a Vet to visit your farm, or to examine your horse - please phone our Large Animal Department on 01326 572215

Reception opening hours are 8-30am to 5-30pm Mon and Frid

8-30am to 6pm Tues, Wed and Thur

8-30am to 12-30pm Sat

The practice is privately owned by the two partners, and employs five other full time and  two part time Vets. Some Vets do solely (or mainly) small animal work and others spend most of their time doing farm and equine work.

We are PDSA Pet Aid Practice. Treatment is free of charge, but only for those pet owners that are in receipt of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit and who pre-register for PDSA PetAid services, before their pet falls sick or is injured. Treatment doesn't cover routine services, such as vaccinations, wormers, flea treatments, routine health checks, house calls or examinations out of hours.

We provide our own 24 hr emergency service, on 365 days of the year. Out of hours, you will see one of our usual Vets at our Helston surgery - you won't have to travel to another practice! Our Nurses are also on call out of hours, to help with emergency operations and intensive medical cases.
