Minster Veterinary Centre Ltd

Minster Veterinary Centre Ltd is an independent veterinary group owned by David Sparks, providing care for pets and also farm animals and equine. The website describes a 24-hour emergency service staffed by its own vets from its own sites, plus nurse-led clinics for ongoing issues like weight management and diabetes. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention being able to get seen quickly (including “immediate” appointments for a kitten with an eye infection and a nursing mum with young kittens), considerate support around euthanasia (privacy and arrangements made on the day), and vets handling reactive dogs calmly during booster vaccinations.
