Cat friendly clinic accreditation
We recognise that because of their unique nature and needs, taking cats to visit a veterinary clinic can be very stressful. The Cat Friendly Clinic programme is designed to help address these issues by creating cat friendly environments in our branches which help to reduce stress levels for both cats and their owners.

We have been clients of The Drove for over 20 years as they have looked after all our pets which included 14 dogs, 2 cats, and in the old days 15 horses. Apart from routine vet care, The Drove has always been there for them for emergencies and other problems and has treated them with great skill, respect and kindness. We recommend The Drove to any pet owner without hesitation.

The best Vets!
Best vets I have used after my cats few hospital visits a few months ago. Very caring and compassionate. Kept updated every step of the way with cats progress, as well as the quote and very prompt at sorting insurance docs, which I have not been used to at previous vets. Great facilities and they are not all about the money. If they don’t need to do something, they won’t, even if it had been quoted. Definitely recommend!
