Culcheth Veterinary Surgery

Culcheth Veterinary Surgery appears to operate as part of the Rutland Vets group (the name “Rutland” is used by clients in reviews and on the clinic’s web details). Recent feedback focuses on routine care and preventative work (annual check-ups, boosters, parasite treatment), with multiple examples of the team adapting handling for timid or anxious cats and dogs—including a vet coming outside to vaccinate a dog that wouldn’t enter and offering “pop in” visits to help a nervous dog get used to the clinic. Owners also mention practical systems such as online appointment booking and text reminders, and at least one example of same-day blood test results being returned and explained.
