Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Elm House Vets describes itself as an independent veterinary practice and says it has been providing care for over 70 years. Based on its website and recent owner feedback, it appears set up for day-to-day primary care (vaccinations, neutering, dental care, nurse clinics) with arrangements for out-of-hours emergencies via Vets Now. Reviewers repeatedly mention being able to get appointments quickly when needed, and specific urgent/problem cases do come up (for example, a dog with a foxtail stuck in the nose that was seen quickly and resolved). Longer-term clients also mention the practice caring for cats and guinea pigs over many years.
