Stalbridge and Marnhull Vets is a very small, privately owned, independent practice offering friendly, personalised veterinary care to your family pet.
It is owned and run by vets, David and Sally Scott - each of whom has 25 years experience in general practice - with the help of practice administrator, Vicki, and receptionists, Di and Megs.
We understand a sick or injured animal is a great worry, and we aim to make him or her better as quickly as possible.
To make your visit to us as pleasant and stress-free as possible we offer -
- a large secluded car park, in a peaceful rural location off the main road, allowing you to walk/carry your pet from your car to our door in complete safety.
- a light, airy, air-conditioned waiting area, where you can sit with your pet and relax.
- half hour appointment slots, giving you lots of time to tell the vet your concerns and for the vet to discuss in detail their findings and the various treatment options.
- a small number of staff, so you will almost always see the same receptionist and vet, allowing you to get to know us and us to provide continuity of treatment.
To make your pet’s visit to us as pleasant and stress-free as possible -
- we will always treat your animals kindly and never make them do anything they do not want to do.
- if any procedure is required that might be painful or make your pet frightened, we will give him/her an injection of mild sedative and ask you to stay in the room whilst it takes effect.
We can then perform the procedure whilst your pet is perfectly relaxed and not frightened. Such procedures include blood testing, tissue sampling, x-rays, ear/throat/skin examinations and removal of small lumps/stitching up of small wounds.
- where possible we will only perform one procedure per day so our kennel area is a nice, quiet, peaceful, non-frightening space.
