Higham Ferrers Veterinary Clinic

Higham Ferrers Veterinary Clinic presents itself as an independent practice founded by Charly. The clinic is set up for routine care and in-clinic diagnostics (it lists X-ray and ultrasound) with a focus on pet comfort, including separate dog/cat waiting areas, cushioned benches, heated floors, and air conditioning. Recent reviews repeatedly mention staff handling anxious/nervous animals with care (for example, nervous dogs during anal gland treatment and consults), plus owners valuing the on-site link between the Pet Spa and veterinary care (“knowing a vet is right there if anything goes wrong”). There’s also a “Same Vet Promise” and “No Wait Promise” referenced on the website.
