The new property enables the practice to increase the number of clients it serves and 'significantly expand' the range of clinical services it offers to pets in the local area.

Practice manager Lauren Milby said: "We had outgrown our existing practice, and we needed a larger practice to continue to offer the highest level of service and quality of animal care that we are accustomed to.

"So this is an exciting move for us - Hollywood Park is a fantastic new site with a superb range of facilities.

"It’ll mean that we’ll be able to look after many patients right there and it’ll enable us to grow the number of patients we see.”

The new building is all on one level with four consulting rooms along with a spacious operating theatre with the latest veterinary equipment.

The site also hosts a dental suite, digital x-ray facilities, in-house laboratory and an isolation ward for very sick animals.

To keep stress to a minimum for patients, the practice has separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, in addition to separate dog and cat hospital wards.

New walk-in kennels have also been built for larger dog breeds, with a dog exercise area on site too.

To staff the practice, two new vets have been recruited, who will join the now 21-strong team, looking after the practice’s expected increase in clients and their pets.

The hope is that the new site will further complement the range of services already offered by Church Walk Vets on St Mary’s Place in Ulverston.
