Creature Comforts opens first clinic
This summer, the company will be recruiting staff for its third clinic, another London site, due to open at the tail end of 2024 and it plans to open five more London-based clinics in 2025
Veterinary tech startup Creature Comfort has announced the opening of its first clinic in Notting Hill, London.
Underpinning the new facilities is a dedicated dental suite, separate cat and dog wards, and all the equipment expected of a first-class veterinary facility.
The four-storey clinic incorporates calming and spacious staff breakout spaces filled with natural light.
The company has also developed a new app which will allow the vets at the clinic to work flexibly.
It is also addressing CMA concerns with the veterinary sector around pricing transparency, with prices for routine treatments listed on its website and clear upfront estimates for procedures.
This summer, the company will be recruiting staff for its third clinic, another London site, due to open at the tail end of 2024 and it plans to open five more London-based clinics in 2025.
Dr Russell Welsh, COO and co-founder, said: “It’s an incredible feeling to see a plan come together in a sector that’s so ripe for transformation. We want to bring the passion, joy and fun back to our profession, and this is an opportunity to do things differently and vastly better, with a fresh and carefully-considered business model founded on the principles of health and happiness. This is vet care as it should be.
“Our first clinic is everything we hoped it would be: modern, welcoming and beautiful – with lilac tones on the walls chosen to keep pets calm, and filled with natural light. The new team is eager to get to know the local community and its animals on first-name terms. We want them to drop in as often as possible to sample our pet pick & mix bar, grab a toy from our treat wall, or enjoy a superb coffee.”
