Falkland Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Newbury
Clinic Overview
- Compassionate end-of-life care is a standout theme, with several owners specifically praising Peter Carr, Jenny, Hannah, and the reception team for giving families time, kindness, and practical support. - Owners of nervous pets describe calm, patient handling. One review highlights a rescue dog being seen, anaesthetised, and stitched in under an hour, then recovering in a larger kennel space rather than a small crate.
