The Crossings Veterinary Centre
We are based in purpose built premises at St Johns Way, Downham Market. We offer top quality veterinary care whether your pet needs a routine appointment or complex surgery. We have a 24 hour, 365 days a year emergency service and your pet will be seen at our premises. Many practices now transfer their out of hours work to another practice which we do not think is ideal.

As we only have two veterinary surgeons we can also offer an excellent continuity of care. Our veterinary surgeons are supported by a team of experienced and friendly nursing staff. We all work together to provide professional but personal service. The Crossings Veterinary Centre has been established in Downham Market for more than fifty years but we moved to our new purpose built premises in 2008.
Services
Opened in 2009 and has revolutionised the practice.> The table is hydraulic to make everyone's life easier.> The tub table is a valuable addition especially for dentals. The fluid from the scaler and body fluids drain away easily. When the top is removed we have a bath and shower head to wash patients.>
This is our practice ultrasound machine which is identical to the machines used in human hospitals. Ultrasound is a form of sound wave which can pass through skin and tissue into the body. The sound waves are directed through the area we want to look at and some of the sound waves are reflected back like an echo which are collected by the ultrasound probe.
Our in house laboraory gives us the opportunity to give our patients and clients rapid results for a range of tests. This allows us to carry out pre-operative blood tests to ascertain whether a patient is suitable to undergo a surgical procedure. It can also allow us to institute life saving treatment at the earliest opportunity in cases of acute and life threatening illness.
In addition to our routine flea control we have also launched a revolutionary new product which is effective for 12 weeks against fleas and ticks. It is easily administered as a chewable tablet (pork liver to increase palatability) which is given around the time of feeding. This product is suitable for pets over 8 weeks old and greater than 2kg in weight.
Would you like to save money, spread the cost of your yearly vaccination and give your pet the benefit of VIP parasite control. If so, then you need to sign up to our Pet Healthcare Loyalty Scheme. A year's supply of flea control. Product dispensed is a premium product only available from Veterinary Surgeons and crucially also gives full protection against Lungworm - www.lungworm.co.uk.

Get a second opinion.
Over the Easter period my dog was very poorly, she was showing signs of discomfort and I was so worried. Admittedly she wasn't registered to this vets but I called as I didn't know what to do and I said this to the vets on the phone. I explained her symptoms and was told it sounds like a womb infection, they said i would have to wait until Tuesday for her to be registered and seen too. I was naturally quite panicky on the phone and asked a few times if there was anything I can do but I felt there was a lack of compassion. Because my dog was managing to eat they said that

Very helpful staff. Good service all round. Animals very well cared for. 5 stars would have been obtained if I would have been advised of the delay that occurred before my appointment.
