Boasting advanced equipment, including bronchoscopes, digital x-rays, an on-site lab for quick blood tests, ultrasound, video endoscopes, and modern intensive care monitoring, the hospital ensures excellent patient care. Comprehensive dental services with state-of-the-art tools are also available.
We are now looking for an experienced Vet Surgeon to join our growing team as we look to provide a vital out-of-hours service to the surrounding area. Our King's Lynn clinic, with its varied caseload, will provide a unique opportunity for an emergency Vet Surgeon to handle a wide range of cases that go far beyond general practice.

In an emergency, pet owners want to know they’ve got the experts on board. And so do we.
