If you wish to visit us at the practice, we have ample parking outside the door. To find us head straight along the road once you enter the Langford site, the Farm Practice is situated on the corner as the road bends round to the left. You will find Daisy our ‘pet’ cow sitting outside on the grass!
Veterinary Students
Veterinary Students
We are teaching practice with the University of Bristol and therefore incorporate teaching of students whilst we deliver care to your animals. We appreciate this can sometimes increase the length of our visits which is why we have set priced procedures and are clear on our invoicing on time spent teaching.

Site Visits
Site Visits
We recommend all new clients to have a site visit when registering. This also allows us an opportunity to discuss how we can best work with and support you in delivering optimum care. We do not necessarily need to handle your animals on this visit, but the vet should be given the opportunity to see all of them. This will mean we are able to prescribe certain medications without a vet having to visit - this is in line with our prescription policy. In order that our vets prescribe the most suitable medication for your animals it is necessary that you have had a visit in the last 12 months.
Please call the practice on 01934 852 650 and we can arrange this visit with one of our vets.
We look forward to meeting you at some stage in the future and trust that if you have any queries, you will not hesitate to contact the practice.
