Brigg Garden Centre

The Shire Veterinary Services describes this as a small, independent, family-owned veterinary team offering care exclusively for cats and dogs, with options for home visits and a focus on keeping appointments as stress-free as possible (including tailoring consult times to the pet’s needs). The website also states they now offer in-house operations, and that out-of-hours calls are diverted to Rase Veterinary Centre for further treatment/hospitalisation/investigations when needed.

A key practical note from the website: the micro clinic at Brigg Garden Centre is stated to close permanently on 1 November 2025.

The latest Google reviews available to us appear to be about the garden centre/restaurant experience rather than veterinary care, so they don’t provide much direct evidence about the vet service itself.
