Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

McKinney Veterinary Practice Ltd is an independent veterinary clinic (the practice website says it has been operating for over 33 years) and treats a wide mix of species: dogs and cats, cattle and sheep, horses, and exotics. The website also states that veterinary advice and assistance are available 24 hours a day, with out-of-hours calls handled via a receptionist.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe consultations where the vet takes time to explain what they’re doing, and cases where the team worked through a complex problem and “got to the bottom of it.” One review also notes the consult room being clean and tidy, and mentions staff trying to make an “extremely difficult” visit “the best they could.”
