Each accredited clinic also has a ‘Cat Advocate’ – someone who ensures the cat friendly standards are adhered to, and who would be happy to talk to you. Ann Noble is our Cat Advocate.
Please use our separate cat waiting area when you visit the practice and make use of our cat towers for your cat baskets.
Compassion Understood provide owners with pet loss support whilst assisting the veterinary sector with bereavement services.
At Paragon we understand that this is the most difficult time for owners and we want to be able to provide as much support as possible for our clients whilst caring for their pets. To help provide this our clinical and support staff have all undergone specific training in this area.
Royal Canin Weight Management Centre
