New veterinary practice opens in North Derbyshire
A North Derbyshire veterinary practice has opened a new state-of-the-art centre in Barlborough Links, near Chesterfield.
Carrick Vets (originally based in Clowne) – opened the doors to the public to view their new home – a state-of the-art veterinary practice located adjacent to Dobbies Garden Centre.
The new site is easily accessible and offers current and new pet owners an exciting range of services and facilities in a very modern environment, whilst maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a whole host of additional benefits.
Jessica Podmore, MRCVS Veterinary Surgeon and Clinical Director explained: “The new practice has all the space we need with plenty of parking and complements the services already offered by our branches in Holywell Street, Chesterfield and Mansfield.
“We now have an additional consulting room allowing us to offer a greater availability of appointments. Separate dog and cat waiting areas and hospital wards keeps stress to a minimum for our patients. A large operating theatre, separate dental suite, in-house laboratory and x-ray room offer a wide range of the latest veterinary equipment including digital x-ray facilities.
“For the welfare and benefit of both our colleagues and clients, internal signage is DDI compliant, the reception desk is designed to comfortably accommodate wheelchair users and we also have temperature control in every area of the practice – a welcome addition especially during heatwaves like we have experienced recently which is of course perfect for our patients too!”
Dog owners, in particular, will be able to enjoy all the benefits that Dobbies has to offer thanks to their dog-friendly policy. In addition to plants, outdoor furniture and everything you need for your garden and home, Dobbies offers a great range of pet products as well as a dog-friendly restaurant.
Jim Wehrle, General Manager of Dobbies, said: “The service provided by the new practice really complements the dog-friendly approach and products we have at Chesterfield. With The Muddy Paw dog groomers also on site, it’s a really comprehensive offering for our customers with pets.
“We look forward to working in collaboration with the Carrick Vets team and ensuring the best possible offering for Chesterfield customers.”
