The Frome site typically has two to three nurses and two vets working each day, and this role includes Saturday shifts (1 in 8) from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Across our three sites, we are proud of our facilities and specialist equipment, where our friendly and experienced veterinary team provide the highest quality of veterinary care, surgery and treatment – along with regular check-ups and routine procedures. We can also provide basic care for exotic animals.

We offer advanced services in cardiology, soft tissue surgery and keyhole surgery as well as a “pet chauffeur” service for non-emergency transportation of pets.

We are very proud to have so many enthusiastic and dedicated individuals working in our friendly practice. Highly trained and caring, each of us has a role to play in making this a special practice for you to visit with your pet.
