The car park and consulting block
|
There
has been a Veterinary Practice at 5, Estcourt Street since 1897.
In those days the Veterinary Surgeon was mainly dealing with farm
animals and in particularly horses. What is now our Hospital was
a Smithy with a Blacksmith shoeing horses. In 1940 the Practice
became know as Barnard's after Geoff Barnard the Senior Partner,
The next 40 years encapsulated the 'James Herriot' days of veterinary
practice.
In
1983 after Geoff retired the Practice was renamed Estcourt House
and since then has undergone several phases of modernisation including
a new Hospital, reception and consulting rooms.
|
|
The
Practice now mainly deals with companion (small) animals with
5 Veterinary Surgeons consulting, supported by four Veterinary
Nurses providing an 24 hour service 365 days a year. We are based
in the centre of Devizes with a large car park available to our
clients.
Our
aim is to provide a friendly, caring and sympathetic service to
our patients and their owners.
|
|
It is very important to us that your animal receives the best
possible care and attention and that your visit is as comfortable
as possible.
All
our staff are fully trained and this is regularly updated to ensure
the latest methods and treatments are available to your animal.
As well as routine health care, advice and treatment we offer
many other facilities which enable us to provide the highest standard
of care for our patients.

'Puppy Party' in reception
|
'Puppy
Parties' remain a firm favourite with clients. New puppies get the
chance to socialise safely with other puppies (and other people)
at an early age.
The 'parties' are run by vet Ed Davies who is able to give welcome
advice in a relaxed atmosphere. Puppies get used to coming to the
surgery for fun rather than in apprehension. |
It also gives a chance for owners to get extra advice on important
issues such as microchipping, diet, worming, flea treatment,
neutering, teeth care, health insurance, etc.

Socialising!
