Unearthing the past, one fossil at a time - when construction meets prehistoric discovery! 🦕 A little secret from the foundation building days of Portland Vets Crawley, we found and excavated this "little" guy. He's now living quite a happy polished life up in the natural history museum in London after being transported from the building last year. 🦖

It’s all starting to feel real and our dream of opening a much needed independent veterinary practice in Crawley is taking shape!

Who has been past?

Pre-registration is still open and some of our services will begin to be rolled out before the doors open - have you pre-registered yet.

Say hi in the comments so we can get to know you and your pets cat 🐱 🐶

The exterior is almost complete! Your new independent vets in Crawley will offer an easy-to-use app, inhouse CT scanner and advanced laparoscopic spay at East Grinstead.
