T A Irving

T.A. Irving Veterinary Surgery offers routine and preventive care alongside access to specialist support (soft tissue and orthopaedic listed on its website). The clinic promotes a Premier Pet Care Plan that bundles vaccinations, parasite treatment and regular check-ups, and it also offers free nurse consultations (including dental hygiene advice and weight clinics). Reviews repeatedly mention compassionate end-of-life care (including a staff member making a personal follow-up phone call after a pet’s passing), thorough first-vaccination appointments that included a full health check, and calm handling of a very nervous cat over multiple years. The practice is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and provides an out-of-hours emergency arrangement via an emergency number (obtained by calling the surgery number, per the website).
