Church View Veterinary Clinic Limited describes itself as an independent practice. The website lists care for cats, dogs, and small pets, plus intensive care, referrals for specialist care, and “Lapspey” (key hole surgery). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe staff taking time with nervous rescue dogs (patient handling during a medication visit), thorough check-ups (including time to work out what was wrong and issuing a prescription), and supportive end-of-life care (not rushed, calming injection first, time to sit with the pet, and a sympathy card afterwards).
