Morris and Plumley
Alnwick
Our Score (89/100)
Morris and Plumley provides first-opinion veterinary care for both pets and farm animals, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The practice appears set up for day-to-day primary care plus time-sensitive problems: reviewers describe being fitted in within a few hours for sudden illness and pain, and one account mentions a vet examining a dog at the owner’s vehicle. A few practical touches come up repeatedly in what people notice—help transferring records from a previous vet, a “vaccination for life” scheme, and a rear garden/outdoor area for dogs (also mentioned on the website). Some reviewers explicitly compare it favourably against “bigger corporate vet businesses,” without stating any group ownership.
