Clinic Overview

Chorley Vets describes itself as an independent, family-run practice (established 2016) working from a purpose-built facility (moved in 2020) with separate dog, cat, and exotic wards and a dedicated comfort room.

For urgent worries, the clinic states it provides 24/7 video advice via the VidiVet app (prompt personalised video responses from a qualified vet).
