St Peters Vets, Farlington

St Peter’s Vets is a long-established small animal practice (the site says it has been operating for over 60 years) offering in-house diagnostics and procedures such as digital X‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, and laparoscopic (key-hole) surgery, plus an on-site laboratory. It also states it provides a 24-hour emergency service 365 days a year. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe quick appointment flow (“rarely wait longer than 5 minutes”), follow-up after treatment, and a consult style that focuses on “sensible suggestions” without pressure to add extra services. Specific care experiences mentioned include spaying (cats and dogs), routine vaccines/check-ups, ad-hoc treatments, emergency appointments, and a calm, unhurried euthanasia appointment.
