Hird and Partners

Hird and Partners is a multi-species veterinary practice covering small animals as well as equine and farm work, with emergency call arrangements listed separately for pets and for equine/farm cases. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention hands-on support for breeding and young animals (one review describes careful care during a litter of puppies), and a practice that can accommodate a wide range of cases (including an animal sanctuary bringing many different animals, and even wildlife in at least one account). Several reviewers also highlight access to clinicians—saying they can “always see a vet or nurse”—and describe the team as helpful in stressful situations.
