Founded in 2016 – Sanderson Vet started as a mobile veterinary service throughout the North West and aim to provide the highest standards of care and services at clients homes.
Services included vaccinations, treatment of sick animals, blood testing, blood pressure, tonometry and end of life care.
In July 2017 we opened the hub in Heswall, Wirral offering operating theatre and hospital facilities, diagnostic imaging, dental facilities and in-house laboratory services.
This allowed Richard and the team to fulfil the aim of offering routine and specialist procedures in general practice and be accessible to all.
In October 2018 our in-clinic service was launched offered 20 minute standard appointments designed to be conducted in a stress free environment for animals and their owners.
Sanderson Vet offer a 7 day a week service with home visits and in-clinic appointments with our team of vets and veterinary nurses.
Since the first day the practice has been 24/7 dealing with our own emergency cases as we believe this facilitates the highest standard of veterinary care ensuring your pet is always seen by your own practice with full access to their clinical records.
