Priory Close Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Taunton
Clinic Overview
Priory Close Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, caring for pets for over 35 years, and treating dogs, cats, and small furries. The clinic appears set up for both routine prevention and more involved cases: reviews mention pain-management acupuncture for severe arthritis, discussing surgical options for an older dog, and making an orthopaedic referral to a specialist with post-operative care handled back at the practice.
