Our History
Our veterinary practice was established as the original practice in the town of Burnley, with a rich history dating back to the days of James Herriot. Initially, we dealt with farm animals, but over time, we shifted our focus to providing care for companion pets. In 1998, we passed on the large animal side of the business to our neighbouring practice, allowing us to concentrate on delivering the best possible care for companion animals. In May 2001, we relocated to larger premises in Trafalgar Street, which features two operating theatres and improved facilities for our in-patients.
