Where you'll be working

Bridge Street Vets was established in 2013 but in that short time has become a very well respected and most recommended practice in the town largely due to our personal people orientated approach.

As a former doctor’s surgery, the premises were adapted by opening up of a few walls and moving a few doorways to produce a spacious, sunny environment to work in, as can be seen from the pictures on our web page.  We are proud to show new clients around and everybody is impressed on the quality of our facilities as well as how light and spacious it is.

• two consulting rooms with hydraulic adjustable tables (with a third planned),
• two waiting areas,
• separate dog and cat inpatient wards,
• isolation ward,
• imaging room, with digital x ray and ultrasound scanner
• in house IDEXX  haematology and biochemistry analysers,
• dedicated operating theatre 
• large preparation area
• Dental station with nitrogen powered air tools and ultrasonic scaler.

We are always looking to further improve our facilities and services with the addition of new equipment and instruments as skill levels require.

.In addition we have our own fully equipped ‘Sunshine Groomers’ salon with two full time groomers employed by the practice.

We now have the best team of staff we have had since we opened with happy smiling faces in all areas and people genuinely happy to be at work. You could be the final piece of the jigsaw to make our practice complete.

The south facing gardens to the rear provide us with the ideal place for a relaxing sunny lunchtime break.

As a VN training practice we are proud of our first trainee who qualified last summer and we have another trainee to follow in her footsteps.
