We understand that choosing a vets can be hard – your pet is a part of your family and you want the very best for them. As Vets, Nurses and Veterinary Support Staff we all love pets and want to provide them with excellent health care. So when all vets are promising the same, how do you pick the right vet for you?

At Holly House we believe its the little things that really can make a big difference. We aim to make every pet’s experience at the vets a pleasant one for all involved and it’s with this is mind that we have adopted our four key principles; Care, Tailored, Time and Expertise.

It is extremely important that we provide the best possible care for both our patients and clients. We appreciate that our pets become part of our family and the bond can be incredibly strong between a pet and their human; that is why we try our best to show our clients just how much we care. It can be something as simple as listening to their stories and relating to them to help create a more personal connection with that client and their pet. We understand that it can be an emotional, frustrating and stressful time when your pet is unwell. We always aim to keep both our patients and clients as comfortable as we possibly can. We pay careful attention to you and your pet’s requirement in your time of need and assist you with anything that we possibly can.

We treat all of our patients the same in that we treat them all as individuals. Our veterinary surgeons and nurses aim to tailor any treatment we offer to the specific needs of our patients and clients. We understand that treating your pets can be costly, that is why we aim to provide you with the best possible treatment to suit you, your budget and level of insurance cover. Knowing our patients and clients helps us to advise and recommend products suitable/appropriate for them.

Our team here at Holly House is dedicated to providing the best possible service we can for our patients and clients. We always aim to make sure that we give our patients and clients enough time with our veterinary surgeons and nurses if needed, and we never rush them. We enjoy getting to know our patients and clients on a personal level, and we feel that the best way to do this is by spending as much time as we possibly can with them.

Our veterinary surgeons have a wealth of knowledge and experience which is shared across all of our branches. With this combined knowledge and experience, we are confident that we can put your mind at ease by providing you with the best possible treatment options for your pet. This can be something as small as routinely checking your pet’s health (for example this can be nail clipping, expressing anal glands and a whole host of other routine treatments) to doing MRI scans to allow us to better diagnose you pet .

As a group, we have our own hospital so if your pet does need urgent treatment, the process is much quicker, meaning that you don’t have to wait on referral letters and then try to obtain an appointment. Because our veterinary surgeons have very close working relations with each other, the process of seeing a specialist is seamless whilst maintaining that personal experience.

    In the community

We love to get involved – being a local community vet is central to our ethos. Maybe that’s why we have been at the heart of the community in Knutsford for over 30 years. We regularly get involved in all pet related aspects in the local community, from fun dogs shows, to school visits, career fairs and raising money for local charities.

Dog Shows

As part of our continued commitment to charitable causes, we run a Dogshow Roadshow. The Roadshow is available, free of charge, for local charities, community groups, schools and associations, and is a great way of raising funds.

We will:

  • Provide and set up a booking-in tent, complete with table and chairs
  • Provide and set up a dog show ring
  • Provide and set up a public address system – no electricity needed
  • Produce rosettes for each class, branded with your organisation’s logo and our logo
  • Give you goody bags for each class winner
  • Produce flyers for your event
  • Provide publicity in our magazine, newsletter, websites and social media pages.

We are limited to 20 roadshows per year on a first come, first served basis and subject to our availability.

School/Nursery Visits

Our school and nursery visits are fun-filled events and great for getting children interested in all things pet related. We can tailor our visits to your requirements or arrange interactive activities where we can get the children to find the microchip on our toy dog, or bandage his leg. We can show them ‘interesting’ things in jars – if they’re not squeamish and let them look at x-rays (you wouldn’t believe what dogs swallow), and even dress up as a vet.

We have worksheets for various abilities and ages and every child gets a sticker. Teachers will find that they are able to do a lot of follow up work and creative play following a visit from a vet. If you want to set up a ‘play’ vet clinic in the school or nursery following our visit we usually have some posters and veterinary materials to hand to help it look more realistic.

Careers Fairs

A career in the veterinary industry can be an extremely rewarding, but demanding role. Our presence at School/College careers fairs can be a great way to educate those interested in the veterinary care all about the highs and the lows. We can talk to students about the various job roles at a veterinary practice, from Kennel Nurse right through to Vet, the work entailed, likely pay, qualifications and training needed.
