FAMILY-OWNED & INDEPENDENT

Being family-owned and independent means security, trust and ensures we are aligned with our vision and mission to deliver not only our key principles, Quality, Integrity, Passion, and Growth, but also to be the kind of veterinary practice that we are proud of.

We have three generations of the Harrison Family working within our business- Tim, our Managing Director, works alongside his daughter, Annabel, and father, Craig.

Further it means that we are free to make our own decisions and are not governed by remote owners. This gives us the freedom to act in the best interests of our clinics, our team members, our clients, and most importantly, your pets.

3 generations - Craig Harrison, Annabel Harrison & Tim Harrison

FEAR FREE

We understand that pets are part of the family, so as standard our teams are accredited ‘Fear Free’ professionals who can prevent and alleviate potential fear and stress experienced by your pets during their visit. To achieve this, amongst many other things, our ward areas have classical music playing and softer lighting than that of clinical areas, plus stress-relieving pheromone plug ins are used throughout our wards and wider clinic.

We understand the differing needs of species and as such our cat wards have individual hideaway units so that they may feel more secure, weighing scales are covered with fake grass to be more appealing to our canine patients, and we obviously use an abundance of delicious and distracting treats to distract to make the journey as stress free as possible for all.

Our Reading & Kingswinford clinics are Fear Free certified

OUR PRINCIPLES

TOTAL WELLNESS PLAN

Health plans are nothing new to our industry and are predominantly cost saving in nature.

Our fantastic Total Wellness Plan not only reduces cost for routine preventative products and services, but more importantly eliminates veterinary consult fees completely and introduces a yearly comprehensive physical examination, including blood and urine screening to pick up any subtle indicators of early disease.The plan exists to remove barriers to care, and help pets live longer, healthier lives.
