During the COVID pandemic we are striving to keep all our clinics open,
however from time to time we are having to change opening hours especially on a Saturday at short notice.
Our out of hours provider will always be available if we are unable and their details are given when phoning your clinic.
Please be aware our staff are working extremely hard and very long shifts. We appreciate your cooperation during this difficult time and will not tolerate any abuse to our staff members

St Helens
2-3 Millfields Court,Welcome to our St Helens vet practice. Our friendly and professional team is ready to help take care of your dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets.
Closed now
Mon-Fri: 8.30am – 7pm
Sat: 8.30am – 12.30pm
At our St Helens vet practice you’ll find facilities include an operating theatre, digital x-ray, in-house laboratory (so we only need to wait minutes for results rather than days) and a blood pressure monitor.
Our clinic is designed to make your pet feel as safe and calm as possible which includes a dedicated cat-only waiting area and stress-relieving music. Ann-Marie is our dedicated Cat Clinic ambassador and we have been credited with a silver standard as an International Cat Care (iCatCare) Cat Friendly Clinic.
When it comes to our team, you’ll find they have a wide variety of specialisms, such as vet Ginnie who specialises in soft tissue surgery and orthopaedics and has an interest in exotic pets. Clinic director and vet Michelle has a particular interest in medicine, especially dermatology, ophthalmology and ultrasonography.
If you have any concerns about your pet, please give us a call for a chat.
We take our responsibility as a community vet very seriously and are always looking for ways to support local pets – and their owners. For example, we help our team members to make a difference to our community by giving them five ‘donation days’ each year so that they can spend time volunteering for a charitable cause of their choice.
The charities we support include our local Dog’s Trust shelter, the local branch of Cat’s Protection, Guide Dogs UK and Warrington Animal Welfare.
We’re proud to be able to say that we always treat all school pets for free. We love looking after the rabbits and guinea pigs belonging to nearby Cowley International College in St Helens, and the rabbits of Newton Pre-School.
We enjoy welcoming future vets and pet owners into the practice and our team has given local brownie groups a talk and shown them around the practice.
And, because we care for those who care, we offer a 10% discount to all employees of the NHS, emergency services and armed forces to say thank you for all that they do.
Our St Helens practice is located on the west side of St Helens, on Millfields Court, Eccleston, just off Millfields/Knowsley Road. We’re proud to look after the pets belonging to the nearby communities of Eccleston, Rainford, Billinge, Crank, St Helens, Rainhill, Whiston, Prescot, Huyton, Wigan and Haydock.
We have plenty of free parking right outside for practice for all our clients and it’s easy to find us – we’re right opposite the Eccleston Community Fire Station and next door to Sainsbury’s Local. Nearby you’ll find the Crispy Cod fish and chip shop and the Eccleston Court Care Home.
Our practice backs on to the much-loved Taylor Park, a popular area for local dog walkers and many of our clients walk their pets here before or after their appointments at White Cross Vets. There’s also some excellent children’s playground facilities and a good café. Locals know to bring any injured or sick wildlife that they find in the park to us – we treat all sick and injured wildlife for free.
Caring for pets is an around-the-clock commitment. That’s why we provide care 24 hours per day, seven days a week, 365 days a year through our trusted out-of-hours service partner.

"Thank you for today , amazing service thank you x"
"The staff are so friendly in here. They always can't to you and come and ask about your pet. Brought my dog in for his annual boosters. The vet took time to get to know him and was so gentle and caring with him, and even kept my baby entertained, as she came along for the trip, too. Dog got biscuits at the end, we all left happy and cared for."
"I have delt with many vets and struggled to find one suitable for my dog riley since becoming a member of the pet plan with white cross vets i can not fault it at all, always there to help your pet and not trying to make money out of you would highly recommend this vet."

He's now fast asleep feeling sorry for himself!
Xx"
"I would like to Thank all the staff at the surgery for the care the gave to Buster Skelland. I had to make the terrible decision on Monday to have him put to sleep after 14 lovely years with him. They were very sympathetic and made the process as painless for us as possible. Buster fell asleep in my arms peacefully.
Would highly recommend White Cross.
Once again Thank You x"
"Excellent vets , always help me with the bats I have in care and recently looked after my two ferrets for their implant , great staff and would trust them with any of my pets !"
"Love this vets and thank you too Kelly for sorting my dog Scooby out after he had been too numerous other places to be told he had a skin conditions and just use a medicated shampoo, Kelly examined him and gave him steroids and it cleared up and it was like he had a new lease of life. Staff are fantastic and very polite and friendly. Highly recommend too anyone."
"Our lively and loud collie cross was looked after
wonderfully.
He had a small lump removal and was released to us
alert and well following this.
Due to his vocal nature I was expecting a 'come and
get him call but this didn't happen. He was cared for
perfectly till fit and well enough to come home -
albeit in 'the cone' which is causing us great
amusement and bruises.
Cant recommend this practice highly enough."
"The vet was very nice to my cat Trixie, my cat did relax in the end."
"I can not fault this vets at all, the receptionists are fantastic and are always there to help and make you feel so welcome, kelly is my number one vet she helped my baby boy riley overcome his server illness and is really professional in everything she does so pleased with this vets thanks for everything you do for me and my dog riley"
"Can't thank the staff enough at White Cross. Made our visit with our sick cat Jack a lot easier. Had to take him earlier than our booked appointment due to me panicking. They accommodated us no problem. Didnt feel rushed whilst in there and again they accommodated when I needed to take him back urgently a few days later. Im glad I registered with them. Thankyou White Cross."

"Very sadly I had to agree to put a 6 month old kitten / cat to sleep this time last week. White Cross in St Helens had been there for him through his vaccinations, his chip and his snip. I was a mess but was allowed to sit with my kitten in my arms for as long as I wanted / needed to pull myself together.
My Mrs received a call later in the day to make sure I had arrived home safely. Clearly my upset state was a concern for the staff and the care and consideration to call my Mrs speaks volumes for these guys.
A lovely sympathy card with the little man's paw print inside arrived in the post a few days later and I cannot speak highly enough about the staff and the care given to pets and soppy owners like me. Thank you very much indeed."
