Clinic Overview

Northwest Vets appears set up for a mix of companion-animal care and practical farm/poultry work, based on reviews describing kitten care, puppy injections and check-ups, treatment for an injured chicken, and same-day testing of a sheep dung sample. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations from the vet, a clean/“spotless” clinic interior, and situations where the team advised coming in straight away for an urgent problem (stitching a chicken after an attack). Follow-up is also described in at least one case, with stitches removed two weeks later and recovery monitored.
