Morven Veterinary Practice Ltd is an independent practice, and the website describes care for pets, farm animals, and horses, including its own out‑of‑hours emergency service. Reviews consistently describe straight‑talking, “no nonsense” decision support (owners say they were helped to make the right choice for their animal), and give concrete examples of the practice taking on urgent and complex situations—from out‑of‑hours attendance at Christmas to surgery performed using local anaesthetic with pre‑op blood tests when another vet had ruled out an operation due to age. The clinic is also described on its website as a registered nurse training practice.
