CVS Group Alnorthumbria Vets moves to new larger practice

CVS’ Alnorthumbria Vets in Ponteland has moved into a new larger practice within Dobbies at Street House Farm.

The practice now occupies a new 3,313 sq ft building which is double the size of its old Meadowfield Industrial Estate surgery.

CVS has invested over £1m to relocate and upgrade the new practice.

The new surgery houses the latest veterinary facilities and equipment, including four consulting rooms, a cutting-edge operating theatre, an in-house laboratory, dental suite, and digital x-ray facilities.

The practice also has a spacious reception area with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, and separate dog and cat hospital wards.

It said its new location means clients will also be able to enjoy Dobbies’ Garden Centre. The store welcomes pets, has a pet department featuring pet food, toys and accessories, and a dedicated dog-friendly area in the restaurant.

Amy Cotter, senior clinical director at Alnorthumbria Vets, said: “Our new practice in Ponteland Dobbies is a much better site with a superb range of facilities. It means our colleagues will be able to provide the best clinical care for our patients and that we’ll be able to treat more animals.”

CVS group is one of the leading integrated veterinary service providers in the UK, Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland.

The group employs over 8,200 colleagues working in small animal, equine, farm and mixed practices across its three territories.
