The Gun Dog Clinic

The Gun Dog Clinic in Melton Mowbray presents a dog-focused service with routine preventive care and breeding-related services including microchipping, vaccinations, puppy health checks, parasite control, pregnancy ultrasound scanning, progesterone blood testing and tail docking. Recent feedback is very positive, with owners praising kind reception staff, accommodating vets and thoughtful follow-up. Reviews also include references to Chine House/Chinehouse and to care for cats, horses and a bearded dragon, so online feedback appears to reflect a broader practice identity than the dog-focused website summary.
