Haven Vets

Stress-Free Vet Visits Start Here 📍🐱

Did you know we have a dedicated cat-only waiting area and consultation rooms upstairs?

We know that a trip to the vets can be stressful for our feline patients, which is why we've created a quieter, calmer environment designed just for cats. By keeping them separate from dogs and other busy areas of the practice, we aim to make every visit as relaxed as possible.

We're also proud to be a Silver Cat Friendly Clinic, accredited by the International Cat Care Cat Friendly Clinic Programme. This recognition reflects our commitment to providing the highest standard of care while reducing stress for both cats and their owners.

Whether it's for vaccinations, a health check, or if your cat isn't feeling quite themselves, you can feel confident they'll be looked after in a cat-friendly environment.

We look forward to welcoming you and your feline companion! 🐾💙

Gail’s Big Hike Update 🥾⛰️

We're delighted to share that Gail has now completed all four of her hikes in support of Cancer Research UK!

Reflecting on the experience, Gail said:

"The 4 challenges have been a wonderful experience, exhausting rushing about the country on my days off but a huge boost to confidence in that, with a bit of luck and determination we can recover from cancer.”

We couldn't be prouder of everything Gail has achieved throughout her cancer journey. Her determination, resilience and positivity have been truly inspiring.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and supported Gail so far. She is now just 5% away from reaching her fundraising target! If you'd like to help her reach the finish line, please consider donating using the link below. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. 🙏

🐾 Confidence Clinics – Sailor’s Story🐾

Meet Sailor 💙
Sailor has been attending our Confidence Clinics at our Frinton branch to help him feel more relaxed about visiting the vets—and what a transformation we’ve seen!

With the help of Leanne, our Dog Friendly advocate, Sailor’s confidence has grown in a slightly unusual (but very effective!) way… his favourite game—blowing bubbles! 🫧🐶

Previously, even getting Sailor through the door was a challenge as he found visits very stressful. But with patience, treats, and plenty of bubbles, Leanne and the team have helped build his trust—and now, as you’ll see from the photos, he happily comes straight into the practice!

✨ We’re so proud of you, Sailor! ✨
If you feel your dog may benefit from our Confidence Clinic sessions, please contact the surgery—these sessions are completely free (bubbles not included!) 😊
