Crouch Vale Veterinary Practice

Crouch Vale Veterinary Practice is an independently run clinic (owned and managed by a vet and her family). Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for routine pet healthcare alongside common in-practice diagnostics and procedures, with facilities including a surgical theatre, X‑ray, and in‑house blood testing. Recent reviews point to practical access for urgent problems (people describe being fitted in the same day, including a “sit and wait” appointment) and quick nurse-led help for small emergencies (a tick was removed immediately, with take-home tick removers and instructions). The practice also appears to put time into ongoing support such as weight checks/weight management mentioned by clients.
