Equine Client Information
On 1 July 2007 the Aln Veterinary Group and Northumbria
Veterinary Partnership merged to form the ALNORTHUMBRIA
VETERINARY GROUP with branch practices in Alnwick, Amble,
Morpeth, Ponteland, Rothbury, Seahouses and Wooler. The
combined practice aims to further develop the high standard
of equine veterinary care by providing enhanced diagnostic,
treatment and hospitalisation facilities, yet maintaining a
personal service.
The Alnwick branch on Wagonway Road offers equine
diagnostic services and hospitalisation facilities which
have attained the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
(RCVS) Level 2 Equine Practice accreditation. Ultimately we
aim to provide a purpose built equine hospital with surgical
facilities.
