Darlington Vet Clinic Ltd

Corporate-group ownership isn’t stated in the available information. The clinic is described (in structured data) as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services. In reviews, owners repeatedly mention practical, decision-relevant details: being “squeezed in” at short notice for a cat, arranging an operation “straight away” after a morning call about a dog, and a calm, low-stress euthanasia experience where the vet accommodated specific handling requests. One reviewer also noted receiving a condolence card afterwards, and another highlighted that “basic prices are in the window” and that wellness plans aren’t pushed.
