At James Street Veterinary Centre, we've combined the 'local, friendly, family vet' feel with modern, state-of-the-art facilities.

Our practice features bright waiting areas and calm consultation rooms, helping you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Behind the scenes, we're fully equipped with up-to-date facilities that allow our team to diagnose and treat your pet quickly, safely, and effectively. These include:

  • Species-specific consult rooms
  • Separate waiting areas and wards for cats, dogs, and exotic pets
  • Two operating theatres plus a dedicated dental suite with x-ray
  • In-house laboratory
  • Ultrasound suite
  • X-ray suite

We've carefully designed every part of our clinic to support a smooth, low-stress experience, with clean, well-organised spaces and dedicated areas for treatment and recovery.

Our aim is simple: to provide a place where you feel confident in your pet's care, and where your pet feels safe and well looked after.
