About Us

Framlingham is a quaint historic town in Suffolk, it is known for being one of the most desirable places to live in the country and it is more famous for its beautiful Castle which towers over the town (and more recently for Ed Sheeran!). Our practice is small animal only, operating over 6 days. The building is purposely-built, modern and spacious. We have separate dog and cat kennels. We run a range of nurse-run consultations including geriatric pet, weight control, travel and dental clinics. We have a modern range of “usual toys”, but there is also budget for more specified equip-ment to suit the applicant’s interests. We run on site orthopaedic, soft tissue surgery and dermatology referrals.

We have a full complement of nursing and reception staff plus an experienced practice manager. Two other experienced vets complete the team (head to our website and social media pages to get an idea of who we are).
