The latest update on their website reads:
“Since the Covid 19 outbreak we been operating reduced working hours of 8.30-5pm weekdays, due to the significant increase in staffing required to deliver veterinary services. From August 3rd we are pleased to say that our opening hours will extend to 6pm. Routine consultations will be until 5.30pm. Outside of these hours we will of course be available 24/7 for urgent treatments.
We would ask all of our clients to bear with us during this difficult time, and especially to be patient and civil when attending our surgeries. Delivering our services during this time has been very challenging, and this can sometimes mean slightly longer waiting times.
Drug and food collections continue to be delivered via a no-contact approach. Please remember to phone us at least 24 hours in advance of visiting the surgery to collect these.
Many thanks,
Kingfisher Vets“
