Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership

Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership is a five branch partnership in Norfolk with roots going back over 100 years. The very first roots of Chapelfield Veterinary Practice were established in 1904 when John Pollock FRCVS built a clinic in Orford Place, Red Lion Street, Norwich. And it was from here that the vets used to ride horses out before work in the mornings.

Although you may only see adult fleas or their droppings on your pet, they are continually shedding eggs into the environment (your home!). This is how flea infestations take hold in your house. Remember, for every adult flea on your pet, there are up to 500 developing in your carpets. If your pet swallows a flea whilst grooming it can then infest itself with a type of tapeworm that lives part of its lifecycle inside the flea.

We have video endoscopy that enables us to investigate respiratory and intestinal problems. Under a general anaesthetic, we can pass the endoscope down the trachea (windpipe) and into the lungs or down the oesophagus and into the stomach and small intestines (depending on the size of the cat or dog).

We believe that nutrition is an important part of keeping pets healthy and can also play a vital part in the treatment of some illnesses. This is why we stock a select range of cat and dog pet food in practice, helping to take the faff out of pet food for our clients by recommending diets that have been scientifically created to provide optimal nutrition, which tastes great!

As well as treating all sizes of commercial farms, CVP delivers the same expertise and level of services to our smallholders or hobby farmers. It is a Royal College Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) requirement that all vets in practice should complete at least 35 hours of CPD each year.

AT CVP, our vets undertake a variety of different things to fulfill their CPD requirements by attending courses and talks, reading articles, taking part in webinars and preparing and taking part in meetings for our clients.This means that our vets keep up to date with current techniques and medicines.
