Why Choose Laurels Veterinary Surgery?

We aren’t the only vets in Runcorn – so why choose us? Find out how we aim to be the best vet for you and your pet.

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. Our team love pets and want to provide them with excellent healthcare. When all vets are promising the same, how do you pick the right vet for you?

We believe it’s the little things that can make a big difference. In keeping with our four key principles of care, experience, communication and respect, we aim to give every patient and client a pleasant experience in practice.

About us

The care we give to our clients and their pets is fundamental to our ethos. We have looked after generations of families’ pets and remember the little things that make a big difference – such as which pets are a bit nervous and which want a fuss. We aim to make the visit as painless as possible and ensure that clients get the best possible care for their pets.

As part of The Willows Veterinary Group we have a wealth of experience in practice backed by specialists at our Group Referral Hospital. All our staff regularly undertake continuous professional development (CPD) training to ensure that we are up to date with the latest findings and techniques.

Our aim is to give you the facts in a clear and concise way so that you can make informed decisions about your pet’s veterinary care. We will talk to you in language you can understand and give you the time to ask questions. We aim to give accurate estimates for surgery and keep you informed if anything changes.

We will always treat you and your pet with respect. We understand that owners have their own opinions and that you know your pet better than we do. With this mutual respect you can be assured of the best care for your pet.

    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 Runcorn for over 10 years. We regularly get involved in all pet related aspects in the local community, from local small 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.
