Dog & Cat Vets in Clavering

## Summary Patch & Purr Vets is a family-run independent small-animal practice. From its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care (vaccines, microchipping, wellness exams) and more involved work including dentistry with dental X‑rays, surgery (including orthopaedic and laparoscopic/keyhole procedures), and emergency care. Owners repeatedly describe practical touches that affect appointments: being fitted in at short notice, arranging a nervous dog’s visit at the end of the day so it was quieter, and follow-up checks after dental work (including teeth removals).
