Patient Care
At Rowan House Vets, our nursing team is at the heart of our patient care standards.
We understand that leaving your pet with us for hospitalisation can be really difficult. That's why we ensure that we have set nurses on anaesthesia and hospital shifts - to ensure that your pet is in constant company, monitored closely, and has an abundance of affection and TLC at the ready - should they want it.
Our nurses undergo years of clinical training and exams, and usually spend years prior to this gaining experience on placements. At Rowan House Vets, we utilise our team's skills and knowledge, and encourage them to develop and improve our patient standards all the time.
