Cater Veterinary Practice

Cater Veterinary Practice offers routine care (check-ups and annual vaccinations) as well as diagnostics for injuries—one owner describes their dog being X‑rayed, diagnosed, given pain relief, and sent home with a clear recovery plan plus follow-up appointments booked in. The clinic also mentions “Out of Hours” care on its website, and it promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. In reviews, owners repeatedly highlight pets staying calm during injections, and staff taking time to explain findings and next steps (including written-style instructions for recovery).
