Dacre House Veterinary Clinic

Dacre House Veterinary Clinic is an independently owned practice, established in 1986 and owned by Bradley and Liz Curtis. It appears set up for ongoing, general pet care across multiple species (dogs, cats and guinea pigs are all specifically mentioned in reviews), as well as difficult end-of-life support.

Owners repeatedly describe practical, outcome-focused care—such as a cat’s problem being “identified and treated effectively”—and note that appointment times are “well kept” and the pricing structure is “clear.” Reviews also include several accounts of compassionate euthanasia support. One recent review conflicts with the broader pattern, alleging “unprofessional management” and “awful” communication.
