Please go to reception so that staff may co-ordinate your visit and ensure you are seen as promptly as possible. 

We will ask you not to leave any bedding, carriers, toys or food with your pet should it need to stay in the hospital. The hospital has a range of high-quality foods which means we can satisfy most dietary requirements.

Visiting has been restricted during the outbreak. We realise that this may cause upset but hope that the rationale for the decision is understandable. If you have any specific concerns, please raise them with one of our team.
