Shrewsbury veterinary practice expands with new facilities
Quarry Vets has completed an extension at its Brassey Road surgery, adding consultation rooms, an operating theatre and a dedicated dental suite
One of Shrewsbury’s longest-established veterinary practices has expanded its facilities to provide more space for treating pets.
Quarry Vets, based in Brassey Road, has completed a single-storey extension following work which began at the start of the year.
The development includes two additional consultation rooms, bringing the total to five, a second operating theatre and a dedicated dental suite.
There is also an expanded cat ward with additional cat-friendly kennels, alongside a consultation room exclusively for cats.
A separate quiet room has been created for pets that are sensitive to noise. It will also be used for behaviour clinics, acupuncture sessions and as a private space for owners saying goodbye to their pets.
The dental suite will include digital dental X-ray equipment, allowing vets to examine tooth roots and parts of the jaw beneath the gum line.
Neil Williams, one of the practice's clinical directors, said the additional facilities would allow the team to accommodate more appointments and carry out more operations.
He said: "It's great for clients because we can care for more pets and perform more surgeries, and we have focused on creating a space where patients who are nervous can feel calm and comfortable."
He added that the new quiet consultation room would provide a more private setting for owners during difficult visits, with a separate entrance and exit away from the main reception.
Quarry Vets has served the local community for 125 years and has been based at its Brassey Road site since 1996. It also has a branch surgery in Bayston Hill.
