The Market Town Vet

The Market Town Vet is an independent practice. From the information available, it appears set up for routine preventive care (e.g., kitten check-ups and vaccinations) as well as urgent and inpatient medical cases, with owners describing pets being kept in for the day and spending multiple days in a “doggy hospital” with treatments like IV fluids and antibiotics. The practice does not provide out-of-hours care itself; calls are diverted to an external out-of-hours provider.
