Most people drive down 1st Avenue Linden,
and never notice this sign...

The entrance to the clinic is at the end of this driveway,
that can be found in Road Number 3...a rather strange road name,
as there does not seem to be a Road number 2 or 4.

Watching to see who the next patient will be.
Stop and interact with her for a moment before stepping into the reception area.

Most owners do not like coming to a clinic.
They are nervous and concerned about the health of their pets
and the visit can be traumatic.
Here the owners are welcomed in this bright reception area,
that offers pets(and owners) a calm safe space.

Vet Reka Gallo-Katona runs the practice.
She is ably assisted by, from L to R;
Tracy, Luverne (reception) and Cleo.
All of the staff love and care for the pets that they treat
and it shows in their interaction with the owners.

Do you need a collar for your cat?
Uncertain what to choose?
Then ask for assistance from Rosie!

The practice stocks a range of top quality dog and cat food.
Both in pellet (dry) form...

Or wet food.
Good quality dog or cat food has a beneficial effect on the health of your pet.
