Dee Valley Vets - Meet the Practice.....
Situated in the beautiful Dee Valley, on a hillside over-looking the world famous town of Llangollen, our practice has three surgeries providing a service 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
We take pride in providing a high standard of friendly, personal service for our clients and their animals, dealing with all domestic animals- pets, horses and livestock.
There are three vets including Clive within the practice, all with their own areas of expertise within general practice, along with another five support staff.
