Featured Clinic Overview
Blake Veterinary Group Ltd runs multiple surgeries and treats both domestic and exotic pets. The website highlights nursing staff on site 24 hours a day, and provides instructions for what to do if an emergency happens when the clinic is closed. Recent reviews also describe practical, pet-stress-reducing touches (a waiting area divided so cats can sit separately from dogs) and examples of case management such as keeping owners informed during a “serious illness,” and sourcing a longer-acting antibiotic to avoid daily return visits for injections.
