We at Number 1 Vets believe in providing the highest standard of veterinary care and attention whilst giving value for money.

Annual vaccinations with a full health check, a weight watchers chat with the nurses or orthopaedic and soft tissue operations. Designed for your pet's comfort, we are pleased to offer dog, cat, exotic and isolation wards to minimise any stress during their stay with us. With this in mind we also provide separate seating areas for dogs and cats whilst waiting to see the vet.

Services
I was educated in Newcastle under Lyme then at Liverpool University where I gained my BVSc. I worked in Lichfield for 11 years at Pool House Veterinary Hospital where I decided to concentrate on small animal veterinary care. I've lived in the area for most of my life, mostly in Market Drayton then after university it's been Lichfield and Armitage.
Consultations - spread throughout the day with a minimum of 10 minute per patient to allow the very best of care. Neutering - For the improved health and welfare of your cat or dog, not to mention the reduction of the poor unloved pets needing a home. Microchipping - allows your wayward pet to be reunited with you and is a requirement for the Pet Travel Scheme.
At the current time we have a vet and a nurse 'on call' outside of our normal working hours (6.30pm-8am Monday to Friday and 1pm Saturday - 8am Monday). The staff are usually at home and not working in the practice. They attend the practice when required.
This means that the vets and nurses can regularly work in excess of 80 hours per week; and we are sure that you appreciate if a vet has to deal with a middle of the night emergency it impacts on their ability to provide your pet with best patient care the next day due to lack of sleep.I have decided to partner with Vets Now who specialise in providing dedicated out of hours care at nights and weekends.

Thank you for looking after me whenever I visit your surgery. In particular I would like to say a very special 'Thank You' for caring for me during my eye infection. The vet at the hospital said that without your prompt actions I would have certainly lost my eye, whereas not only do I still have my eye but I also have full vision.

The staff here are friendly and tend to remember me and my dog which makes me feel more comfortable taking him in. I was wondering why he was getting excited to go to the vets and then I found out one of the girls there had been giving him treats when he went into the examination room without me- I like the fact that he goes off with the girls comfortably without worrying that I'm not with him.

Wish I'd found these guys earlier. My previous vets were less than helpful, charging for tablets unnecessarily without any kind of diagnosis.
We met James and he was like a breath of fresh air. While it wasn't good news, James explained everything, in a way that I understood. Gave us a prescription of tablets that are actually of some help, and despite the long term outcome not looking good, I know we're in good hands.
My previous vets of 8yrs plus, charged me £250, with no idea what was wrong, wanting a further £600 for tests.
£150 today, for a consultation with a decent vet (and owner of

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BELOVED PET TO THIS VETS.......
If I could give zero stars I would! My poor cat Toby had been neutered and chipped on Monday 25th October. When I went to collect him the stupid and incompetent veterinary nurse hadn't locked the door on his carrier properly and he escaped as we left. Our poor boy was alone for nine days before he found his way home over a mile away. James is the most unprofessional and unemotional man ever, showing not one scrap of remorse or empathy for a situation they caused. Not once has he apologised or did he offer to help with the search for Toby. He reluctantly

I have been with number 1 for 9 and a half years with my beagle roxy and they have been amazing. She suffered a sudden tuma and from the moment of contact they were fantastic. Such friendly staff and brilliant care throughout. Thankyou for everything you did even down to the compassion showed by all staff during a very difficult time
