Donaldson’s Vets Ltd is an independently owned veterinary group (not a corporate chain) focused on small-animal care, with website-listed capabilities that go beyond basic consultations—such as CT scanning, ultrasound, cancer care, and keyhole surgery, alongside an animal rehabilitation centre and referral services (behaviour, dermatology).
