Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Arun Veterinary Group is an independent veterinary practice established in 1972. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up not just for routine care but also for more complex cases, with a dual accredited hospital and emergency status and out-of-hours hospitalisation listed.

Owners describe coming here for a second opinion where a cruciate ligament rupture was identified quickly after another vet had suggested arthritis; X‑rays were used to confirm the diagnosis and the repair surgery was carried out successfully at another branch within the group. One reviewer also notes a practical admin process for claims, mentioning a dedicated email to help ensure insurance paperwork goes through.
