They have now confirmed work has started on a second clinic in Uttoxeter.

Diagnostic tools

In a statement, the directors said: “We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our second specialist veterinary clinic in Uttoxeter in 2025.

“With cutting-edge diagnostic tools like in-house 1.5T MRI, 32-slice CT, and three purpose-built theatres, we’re ready to offer the best for clients and their pets.”

Building work and a recruitment campaign have been started, with additional orthopaedic surgery specialists, neurology specialists and experienced nurse high on its list.

‘High-quality care’

Dr Lowrie, European specialist in veterinary neurology, will lead the new site once up and running.

He said: “We are excited to expand into the midlands with our second specialist practice, bringing our brand of high- quality care closer to even more pets and their owners.

“Our ethos is simple: we aspire to be the place that vets take their own pets. By focusing on responsive communication, exceptional clinical standards and fair pricing, we aim to build trust with both veterinary professionals and clients.

“And for those who join our team, we are committed to creating a supportive and positive environment where everyone can thrive and grow.”
