Crossriggs currently employs three full-time clinical vets, one vet in a full-time managerial role and ten support staff who are committed to caring for the needs of our clients as well as their pets and to providing the best possible customer care. The premises in Cumnock were extended and refurbished twenty years ago, enabling the practice to increase our facilities for both small and large animals.
