Why Choose Birchwood Vets?

We aren’t the only vets in Warrington – so why choose us? Find out how we aim to be the best vet for you and your pet.

We understand that choosing a vets can be hard – your pet is a part of your family and you want the very best for them. At the end of the day, as Vets, Nurses and Veterinary Support Staff we all love pets and want to provide them with excellent health care. So when all vets are promising the same, how do you pick the right vet for you?

At Birchwood Vets we believe its the little things that really can make a big difference. We aim to make every pets experience at the vets a pleasant one for all involved and it’s with this is mind we have adopted our four key principles; Care, Communication, Time and Community.

Our team at Birchwood all have one thing in common – they entered the veterinary profession because they care about animals. Whether it be your pet, a stray or even their own pet they provide the same dedicated level of care and compassion to every animals’ health and wellbeing.

At Birchwood Vets, everyday we are greeted with everything from puppies, kittens, vaccinations, neutering, senior checks and more – it’s our job and we love it. And whilst your appointment might be the 5th cat vaccination we have seen that day – it might be your first. With this is mind, we aim to ensure every client knows the whats, whys and hows when it comes to their pet’s treatment. Communication is a two way process, and we understand that you know your pet best. We always make time to listen to you about your pet – even if you only tell us what antics they have been up to recently.

We will always aim to have time for you. Time to greet your pet as they come through the door, time to listen to any concerns about them, even time to just listen about how they dug up your favourite plant in the garden. With dedicated appointment slots, you also don’t need to worry about your time. No unnecessary waiting around.

Despite being a newly established practice when we opened in 2017, our team at Birchwood Vets feel it’s extremely important to become an integral part of the community. Our door is always open (during opening times of course!) and we love nothing more than when a client just pops in to say ‘hi’. As part of the Willows Vet Group, we have the resources to get involved in all aspects of the community, from dog shows to career fairs.

    In the community

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