White Cross Vets in Kings Heath is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and is now widely recognised as Birmingham’s leading veterinary practice, after caring for more than 22,000 local pets during the last decade. The practice is planning future growth and more job creation this year.
Based on Kings Heath’s Alcester Road, the practice opened in early 2009 and has expanded from a team of four, to 18 people in recent years, which includes head veterinary nurse, Vicky Neild, and client care co-ordinator, Suzanne Slaney, who have both worked there since the beginning.
Its facilities include an operating theatre, ultrasound and digital x-ray. The practice was recently named as a coveted ‘Cat Friendly Clinic’ by The International Society for Feline Medicine (ISFM).
Becky Hartley, clinic director and veterinary surgeon at White Cross Vets in Kings Heath, said: “Since opening in 2009, the practice has quickly evolved into one of the most successful within the White Cross Vets group, and Birmingham as a whole. Treating more than 22,000 pets from across Birmingham is a huge achievement and we’re always blown away by the kindness and generosity of local people when it comes to supporting our charitable initiatives.
“Birmingham is a city of pet lovers which really resonates with us. We always want to do the very best for our clients, as well as priding ourselves on adapting and responding to all the latest trends in the pet and veterinary industries.
“We’ve seen a big shift towards smaller dog breeds and designer cross breeds over the last ten years, which is a trend that is set to continue. We offer ultrasound scanning and dentistry and these services will be big growth areas over the coming years. We’re delighted to already be at the forefront of so many new developments, which is an exciting prospect for both the team and pet owners in Birmingham.”
The Birmingham practice was recently recognised by a trusted online review website, 3 Best Rated, and hand-picked as one of the top three vets in Birmingham based on a 50-point inspection which includes local reviews, history, trading standards ratings, satisfaction, trust, price and general excellence.
White Cross Vets also has practices in Wolverhampton, Walsall and Dudley. For further information about White Cross Vets visit: www.whitecrossvets.co.uk or call 0121 444 4388.
