She is always happy to go and visit any local school or community group.
We encourage our team to go out into the community and make a difference by giving every team member five ‘donation days’ each year so that they can spend time volunteering for a charitable cause of their choice.

"Last year my Golden Retriever Buster was diagnosed with Nasal cancer. Although he had to undergo some distressing treatment he always pulled me to go faster on his walk to White cross in Gateacre because he loved his visits. Even on his last visit. I was never felt forced to make a decision about his care but was given valuable information so that I felt I was making the best choices for him. The support and friendly nature of all the staff was amazing. It got me through the toughest time. Now I have a Springer Spaniel Coco and one of my first actions was to register her with White cross. After discovering how dissapointing Pet insurancecan be for elderly dogs I find the monthly health plan invaluable and Coco also enjoys her visits! Even sitting on the reception desk wanting to take charge!! I only wish I could find a GP practice for myself which was as friendly and inviting!"

The vets, nurses and the lovely girls on reception have been very welcoming and professional while looking after my two poorly netherland dwarf rabbits.
