Primary Care Services in Stroud & Stonehouse

Trusted Primary Care for Pets Since 1967

Some things don't change. Since 1967, we've been here for the pets and people of Stroud and Stonehouse, for the routine visits and the worrying ones, for the questions that feel too small to ask and the moments that seem overwhelming.

Our Primary Care services cover everything your pet is likely to need, day-to-day and over a lifetime. And all of it is delivered with the same honest, straightforward approach we've always believed in.
As an independent vet practice, we answer to you and your animal. No targets, no shortcuts.

Microchipping

Microchipping is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do to protect your pet. And, in the UK, it's now a legal requirement for both dogs and cats. If they ever go missing, it significantly improves the chance of them finding their way home.

Pet Travel

When you’re planning to take your pet abroad, the legal requirements can feel complicated. We can advise on everything your pet will need, including microchipping, vaccinations, parasite treatments and health certificates.

Repeat Prescriptions

For pets on long-term medication, we ensure prescriptions are kept current, with clinical reviews when needed, to confirm the medication is still doing what it should. If you're ever unsure about your pet's medication, we're always happy to help.
