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.

We’re ready to care for your pet

Being an independent practice gives us the freedom to make choices for you and your pet

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.
