The Sidings Veterinary Surgery

The Sidings Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice providing care for small animals and horses, with 24/7 out-of-hours emergency cover delivered in collaboration with The George Veterinary Hospital (including shared access to patient records for continuity). The clinic highlights longer, 15‑minute vet appointments on its website, and reviews give concrete examples of that extra time being used—such as a vet engaging calmly with a dog before treatment. Recent reviews also mention pet travel paperwork (Export Health Certificate) handled end-to-end, and a grass seed removal that was managed without sedation.
