Frame and Swift Ltd
Penrith
Our Score (80/100)
Frame and Swift Ltd is an independent mixed veterinary practice treating farm, equine and small animals. The website highlights in-house CT, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, laser surgery, and hospitalisation, alongside facilities such as an equine operating theatre, stabling/paddocks, four consultation rooms, and extensive kennelling. It also states a full out-of-hours service with on-call staff available 24 hours a day. Recent reviews strongly praise the vets’ explanations and handling of pets (including keeping cats notably relaxed during appointments and smooth recovery after neutering), but there’s a clear conflict around front-desk/management experiences: two reviewers describe rudeness, confusing repeat invoicing, and problems leaving without medication.

The Sheep Centre describes itself as a dedicated sheep artificial breeding company (rather than a small-animal veterinary clinic). The website focuses on sheep reproduction work—such as semen freezing and assisted breeding—and also offers training (including cervical AI training). Recent Google reviews, however, largely discuss a public-facing sheepdog demonstration: visitors describe an evening/weekly demo led by a host and family team, with multiple dogs of different ages and training stages, and the chance to meet the dogs before the demo. One reviewer also noted that dogs are allowed to attend on leads.

Tynedale Farm Services (Farm Gate Vets) is described in reviews as a family-run farm supplies business rather than a conventional small-animal veterinary clinic. Reviewers talk about buying practical goods (from feed and bird seed to farm clothing and compost), with staff who answer questions and give advice. A few reviews also mention animal-health-related support such as help with DEFRA and ordering tags, alongside more “store” experiences like browsing, buying meat, and even non-farm items (beer is mentioned). Concrete specifics mentioned: - Staff giving “questions and advice” and helping customers find what they need. - Animal tags being ordered/received, with specific mention of help navigating DEFRA. - Stock described as ranging from farm clothing and feed to compost and bird seed. - Some reviews discuss logistics/collections (e.g., “fast loading” and overnight parking), suggesting a working farm-supply setup.
