Welcome to St Ives Veterinary Surgery
I established St Ives Veterinary Surgery in 1992 to provide caring and compassionate veterinary treatment to the many animals that lived in St Ives. I envisaged a practice that would not only provide optimum veterinary care, but would also deliver these services in a manner that showed an empathy and understanding to the needs of our patients and their owners. Responding to these special needs is even more important when our pets are unwell or in need of urgent treatment.
Since opening the practice in modest premises with a staff of one (myself), the practice has gradually grown over the years. We can now provide a comprehensive range of services delivered by a caring and dedicated team of veterinarians and nurses. The relocation of the surgery into St Ives Shopping Plaza some eight years ago enabled us to substantially upgrade our equipment and facilities. We can now perform major surgery and undertake complex medical investigations if required. The hospital wards are well equipped, hygienic and offer maximum comfort to our patients.

Their beloved class pet was quiet, off his food (which is very rare for Chewie) and he had also been vomiting for a day or so. Dr Michael Eaton examined Chewie and gave him an injection and hoped that Chewie would be back to himself in no time. Below is the wonderful thank you letter from all the kids in Class 6DG THANK YOU LETTER FROM CLASS 6DG PS: We are pleased to report that Chewie is back to his usual self and doing well!
