Alexander Veterinary Centre
Established in 1982 by John Stitt, we are a friendly, professional vet practice. We deliver a caring, comprehensive, modern and affordable service to you and your pet as well as offering The Pet Health Club, designed to protect your pet and your pocket. Please come and visit us.

As Thumper is nearly 9 years old we feared the worst, but when we brought her to our vet at Alexander Vet Centre she thought an operation was doable as Thumper was otherwise fit and healthy.The care and attention we all received from the vets involved and the receptionists was absolutely fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for them.
Services
Our team of experienced Veterinary Surgeons, based in Barrow in Furness and Ulverston, has a range of individual and varying interests which combine to produce a comprehensive service. Most pets can be treated quickly and effectively "in house", and we offer all of the facilities expected of a small animal practice.
We provide a friendly service using an appointment system, ensuring we are able to offer you our service at a time which is convenient for you. The reception is open all day from 8:30am. For all enquiries please contact us, or just pop in and we will be happy to help. We offer a modern and comprehensive range of services, from routine check-ups to major surgical procedures.
Pet insurance provides cover for veterinary fees in the event that your pet becomes injured or unwell. It can provide peace of mind that you're in a position to afford all the veterinary care your pet may need. With veterinary medicine employing expensive medical techniques and medication, and with pet owners caring more and more about their pets' health, pet insurance is becoming increasingly popular.
If your insurer asks you to complete your claim online, what we need from you will be greatly simplified. Please note the process may differ between insurers. Attach the clinical history, along with a copy of any payments you've made (you do not have to keep any receipts). Please note the processing of direct claims is discretionary and based on the relationship between the insurer and the clinic.
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!

Very caring staff and helpful. My only quibble is they are expensive. Seem to overcharge for the drugs, compared to online

Always the best treatment of my cats, whether health check or end of life, happily not the latter for some time!
Absolutely can't fault.

My cat Olly was attacked by a dog 9.30 at night. The treatment he got from Alexanders was 1st class. I doubt that without their care & quick judgement Olly would not be here today.

Lovely, friendly and professional staff. I would recommend Alexander Vets to anyone. We have 2 pets that have needed ongoing treatment for the past few months; the care, advice and treatment given has been excellent.

Lovely staff who care only about the animals. Helpful when it comes to money saving such as pet plan etc and what foods are best for our fur babies! I've had bad experiences with vets in the past but I've never left Alexander's feeling anything but grateful!
