Farm Vets in Braintree

## Summary Fuller Equine Ltd is an independent, family-run equine veterinary practice established in 2014 by Alex and Claire. The clinic appears set up for ambulatory (at-yard) work with portable diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound, gastroscope, lameness locator, shockwave) and a mix of routine care and more involved investigations. In reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear communication “from the office staff to all the vets,” one case where Alex took over mid-investigation and reached a diagnosis on the first visit, and practical support around end-of-life care (including organising cremation and sending a condolence card).
