Orford Lane Veterinary Surgery is a small friendly practice where we can really nurture lasting relationships with our clients and their pets. We love nothing more than when our clients feel welcome to pop in and say hello on their way past to the shops and let us know about their latest pet antics.

Our team believe that time is crucial to giving you the best service possible. We aim to never make you feel rushed in consults, nurse clinics or at the reception desk. On the flip side, we also know how important your time is. For this reason, we offer dedicated appointment slots and always aim to keep you informed about waiting times in cases of emergency.

At Orford Lane Veterinary Surgery our aim is to always keep you informed, about everything from treatment plans, investigations and costs. We endeavour to make communication a two-way process, and that our friendly and caring team make you feel at ease to discuss whatever concerns or worries you may have about your pet.

Our team are all passionate pet owners, and at one time or another have been on the other side of the consulting table. We understand the worry, stress and upset that can be experienced when your pet is unwell or injured.

    In the community

We love to get involved – being a local community vet is central to our ethos. We regularly get involved in all pet related aspects in the local community, from fun 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.
