Dryfe Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent practice providing care for pets, horses, and farm animals, and says it provides its own out-of-hours cover (so emergency cases are seen by one of the practice vets). The clinic moved into modernised premises in early 2022 and lists purpose-built facilities including 5 consulting rooms, 2 operating theatres, separate cat and dog waiting areas, a dedicated cat consulting room, and separate cat/dog/isolation-exotic wards. It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Ark Veterinary Centre Limited is an employee-owned, independent five-centre mixed practice. Based on its own service descriptions, it’s set up for both everyday pet care and more complex work across small animals, equine, and farm animals, with in-house diagnostics plus surgical and hospitalisation facilities. Recent reviews back up that range with specific examples including treatment for a dog with stomach cancer, a surgical operation with “before, during and after” care, urgent stitches after an attack where the pet was seen “nearly straight away,” and an emergency fish-hook removal from a dog’s throat.
