About Us

Introducing Tender Paws Vets

A word from our owner and director.

My name is Nicola Fairweather and I am a Qualified Veterinary Nurse who has worked in the profession since 1974.
I am passionate about the care and welfare of animals, their well-being is always paramount from the start of their lives and sadly right up to the end of their lives.

We listen, we care, we help and we are dedicated to our clients and their pets because we can. Tender Paws is a single Independent Practice with a Professional team who have a wide range of skills and experience.. You can always see or speak to the same staff members whether they are front of house or Qualified Nurses and Vets.

Being an Independent Practice gives us the freedom to
make choices for you and your pets.

Here at Tenderpaws we have the flexibility to make our own decisions and we pride ourselves on the personal, caring and understanding manner in which the team works. All staff including myself are passionate about their jobs and we are here to help at all times.

Our clean, professional surgery offers the ideal peace-of-mind environment for you and your pet. You will always see a familiar face at reception – including the surgery cats and dogs – and our approach is to understand and identify all the needs of our patients and owners. Visitors can enjoy free parking, and the nearest train station is Hayes.

We’ve used Tender Paws vets for all our cats over the last 20 years and they have always been fantastic. This week when my cat had an injury they saw her the same day and after following their advice to treat and wash the wound she is doing great and back to normal. All the vets we’ve seen have always been so very kind and caring. They even have a segregated area for cats which is a great idea and much appreciated when you have a nervous and stressed poorly cat.

Apply to register with Tender Paws

By completing this form, you are applying to join our waiting list rather than registering as an active client. 
 
Due to high demand, we are  working through the waiting list gradually, and registration is only confirmed once we contact you directly. 
 
This careful approach helps us maintain a  high standard of care and service.
 
In some exceptional circumstances we may be able to accept a new patient sooner.
 
You will need to confirm that we can acquire your pet’s clinical records from your previous practice. The RCVS stipulates that we must do this when a client registers at a veterinary practice. If you do not consent unfortunately you cannot be added to the waiting list.
