Woosehill Vets

It is now safe for team members near Woosehill to use their local vet again !!
I would just like to let you know about our new Veterinary Practice now open in Woosehill. The practice is now a branch of Nine Mile Vets in Finchampstead, conveniently located next to Morrisons near Wokingham Town Centre. We opened in September 2012 under new ownership following a total refit and employing all new staff. You have probably heard in the news about the Vet previously using these premises; that he has been struck off from practising as a Veterinary Surgeon, and was imprisoned. Following this unfortunate episode, it is understandable that many animal lovers are now wary of coming to this Veterinary Surgery; however I would like to try to allay any concerns that people might have by telling you a bit about ourselves here at Emmview Veterinary Centre.

· As a branch of Nine Mile Vets, we have full access to the excellently equipped Nine Mile Hospital, including the use of an MRI scanner when required.

· Newly refitted and equipped with: X-Ray, separate cat and dog wards, separate cat and dog waiting areas, extra-large kennels for XXL dogs, ultrasound scanner, in-house lab and a separate dental suite.

· Friendly, approachable and professional staff including a qualified Veterinary Nurse.

· 15 minute appointments to give us more time to make your pet feel comfortable in the Vets.

· Plentiful free parking in Morrisons car park.

· Puppy parties.

· We have evening talks planned on subjects such as dog behaviour and caring for geriatric pets.

· Open til 6:30pm on weekdays, and on Saturday mornings. Emergencies seen at Nine Mile until 6pm Saturday and 1pm Sunday.

· Healthy Pet Club loyalty scheme provides all preventative healthcare such as vaccines, flea/lungworm treatment, microchip, nail clips and wormers with generous discounts on all of our other services and products for a monthly direct debit.

I myself qualified in 2004 from Bristol University, I have worked in Veterinary Practices throughout Southern England and Australia as well as a charity clinic in Rarotonga. I love all animals and particularly enjoy medical cases. I like to deliver a friendly and sympathetic service and our team works to a very high standard of veterinary care.

We are more than happy for people to come and have a look around the practice, by prior arrangement; for obvious reasons and we love having people pop in to say hi or to just get their dog weighed.

We’d be very grateful if you could let your members know that we exist, or even better forward this email to them! We know that most people are very happy with their existing Vets but we just want to let people know that we are another option in Wokingham.

Many thanks,

Rosie Skinner BVSc MRCVS
