What Makes Our Consultations Different
More than a quick check-up.
At Whiskers, we offer a thoughtful, unhurried, expert-led experience. We know that busy, rushed appointments don’t serve pets or their people, so we’ve built our service around three things that genuinely matter: time, expertise, and true accessibility.
Longer appointments for better care
Every standard consultation at Whiskers is a full 20 minutes – significantly longer than most local practices, and at no additional cost.
That extra time means your pet has space to settle and feel safe, our vets can perform a thorough assessment without rushing, and you can ask questions and receive clear, personalised advice. It’s how we focus on early detection, prevention, and effective long-term planning.
Longer appointments lead to better outcomes. Your pet gets the calm, careful attention they deserve.
The Whiskers Difference
When you book a consultation with Whiskers, you’re choosing a different kind of vet visit – one built around your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind.
- Full 20-minute consultations as standard – never rushed.
- A vet team with a minimum of 10 years’ experience and only fully qualified, registered nurses.
- Independent, vet-owned and led, with a hands-on practice manager who knows you and your pet by name.
- Open 8am–7pm with same-day slots reserved for urgent concerns.
- Staff trained in low-stress, dog-friendly and cat-friendly handling techniques.
An experienced, behaviourally-trained team
Our consultations are delivered by a highly skilled team who understand not only medical care but also behaviour, stress, and emotional wellbeing – all essential for accurate diagnosis and a positive experience for your pet.

Customer Reviews
“I’ve always thought that giving five out of five for anything can’t be true, there must have been something that could have been bettered. Whiskers, once again, has proved me wrong. From receptionists right through are fantastic. Over sixty years I have been to many vets in the area and this one beats them all hands down. Amazing. Thank you Whiskers.”
