Park Veterinary Centre

RCVS-accredited practice set up for both small animals and equine/large animals (including an ambulatory equine/large-animal service), and it’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. From the website and recent reviews, it appears geared for routine care (annual vaccinations/injections), diagnostics and surgery when needed (including x‑rays and emergency surgery), plus supportive end-of-life care. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of options and treatments, and one detailed account describes a same-day x‑ray followed by emergency surgery for a dog who swallowed a rubber ball. One recent reviewer, however, strongly disputes value for money and says it took multiple consultations to identify a “simple” issue.
