Staverton Veterinary Surgery

Staverton Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews point to a clinic that’s geared toward everyday GP-style care plus urgent, short-notice appointments when pets become unwell. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations during consultations and health checks, and a couple of accounts describe being registered by phone and seen the same day/next morning for issues like an ear infection. One reviewer also describes a vet adapting handling for a very anxious dog by treating on the floor rather than on the exam table, with effective results.
