Claire McFarlane

Vet with additional small animal surgery qualifications

Claire has worked with many of the team at Chippenham before in previous roles, so it’s a bit like getting the ‘old gang back together’.  She builds great relationships with her clients and treats your pets as she does her own.  She’s hopeful that any dogs who visit will be a little less muddy than her own Golden Labrador who loves nothing more than getting as muddy as possible!

Originally from Newcastle, she once revived a seal which had been brought in from Hartlepool.  Despite being young and weak, it managed to escape its cage and poo everywhere!  Did you know that seal poo has a scientific name and is actually called scat?

Outside work, she is a bit of a daredevil.  She’s been caving and rafting in the Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand and she loves canoeing and walking.  She might be terrified, but she’ll always give it a go.

Claire has additional qualifications in small animal surgery, so you know that your furry friends will be in safe hands.  Having previously worked as an emergency vet, there’s not much that she hasn’t had to deal with where animals are concerned.

Our trusted reviews.

Highly recommend. Friendly and helpful, both the reception staff and vet. Competitive prices too. Helped us out with an AHC for travel to France at short notice along with medication. Will be our 1st choice vet from now on. Thank you!

Mabel's favourite vets ever. Fantastic pet plan and great teef after her dental treatment. Arnie likes it too! 🐾🐾

We take our cat to see Veerle the holistic vet who practices out of the surgery. Veerle is excellent and the staff at the surgery are so lovely. Great!

Excellent local vets. Easy to make appointments, good veterinary care and reasonable costs.

Have taken our Maine coons here since babies and the staff are really caring and helpful. Nothing seems too much trouble

Well-run vet's surgery with experienced and knowledgeable staff. How lovely to support an independent vet, rather than a huge company with inflated costs and huge overheads!

Fabulous service, Iris and her team are lovely. Very caring and welcoming. Our dog Teddy is quite nervous when visiting the vets but they go above and beyond to make the experience a good one. Would highly recommend.

Really great team, been fantastic with our pup. They actively encourage 'happy visits' in order to get your dog to have positive association with going to the vet which really helps when our little dude isn't much of a fan of needles.
