Welcome to our modern Widnes vet practice where our helpful and expert team are waiting to care for your dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets.
Visitors to our Widnes veterinary practice can rest assured that our practice is stocked with the latest equipment and that our team are well trained and passionate about helping your pets.
Our practice is purpose built so we were able to design it in a way that keeps your pets’ stress levels to a minimum. The state-of-the-art equipment we have onsite includes 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.
The team has a range of specialisms and expertise. Vet Louise, for example, has a special interest in medicine and as she has experienced losing a family pet firsthand, she is passionate about providing the best possible end of life care. Vet and clinic director Archie specialises in soft tissue surgery and nurse Chloe is known for running some of the best nurse consultations in the whole of Widnes and helping pets with osteoarthritis. Veterinary nurse Helen specialises in theatre and, when it comes to our human visitors, our wonderful client care team Tina and Rachel are on hand to look after you during your visit,
If you have any concerns about your pet, please call the team on 0151 305 7333.
White Cross Vets Widnes is committed to making a difference to our community and doing whatever we can to help all our friends – large and small, hairy and human!
We encourage our team to make a difference to our community by giving every team member five ‘donation days’ each year so that they can spend time volunteering for a charitable cause of their choice. Nurse Chloe and client care co-ordinator Rachel raise money for Derian House Children’s Hospice in Chorley and jumped out of a plane (thankfully with a parachute) to raise £2,500. Other charities we support include Cancer Research UK, Cats Protection in St Helens and the local Dog’s Trust centre in Whiston. Nurse Chloe and her dog Skye volunteer with Pets As Therapy attending local hospitals, hospices and nursing homes.
We’re proud to be able to say that we treat all school pets and wildlife for free and that 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 Widnes practice in Cheshire is proud to help care for pets in Widnes and the nearby communities of Runcorn, Huyton and Warrington.
It’s easy to find us – we’re located on Fir Park, Queensbury Way in the north of Widnes, just next to the Observatory Pub in Upton Rocks and there’s a Cooperative Food Store just around the corner. Nearby you’ll also find Widnes Golf Club and Birchfield Park Sports and Social Club. There is plenty of free parking right outside the practice for our clients.
If you’re looking for somewhere your dog can stretch its legs nearby, there are loads of lovely local parks. Our team recommends Victoria Park with a boating lake and pavilion serving tasty snacks and hot drinks; the beautiful woodland Pex Hill Nature Reserve; Pickerings Pasture Nature Reserve which is a perfect picnic spot; and Spike Island by the canal.
We know that looking after your 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.

"Our 6 month old kitten Gracie was spayed last week. She had a review yesterday. The staff are excellent kind friendly and informative. They look after your pets with such care, And are just as kind to the owners. The survey is pristine. Best vets ever. Gracie even got a get well card"
"We took Rosie, our mini poodle, to see Louise this afternoon and Louise was brilliant with her. Rosie suffers from fear anxiety and Louise handled her so gentle and she got down to Rosie's level on the floor and examined her back legs and spine thoroughly. She knew exactly how to cope with Rosie and Rosie responded to Louise and she came out of there without any fear anxiety at all. She is at home now and completely relaxed which is the complete opposite to the state she would come out of our former vets in. I can't thank Louise enough for making Rosie's vet visit a happy one. White Cross vets look after your pet with love and care, they do care so much and it's lovely to find such a caring vet practice. I would like to thank everyone at White Cross for making our visits a lot less stressful. Thank you Louise."

"Truly outstanding service and care. They listened to my situation and went beyond, what I could have expected at short notice, to help. My dog has been very well cared for by all the staff, I felt safe and confident leaving her for surgery and she was exceptionally well when I collected her. I came home with pain relief and a gorgeous, personally signed, get well soon card with post operative care instructions included. They've arranged follow up appointments at convenient times too. I can't thank them enough! Highly recommend."
"We took our old English mastiff as she was having problems with her legs , they were brill, unfortunately yesterday we had to take her back due to her having fits, unfortunately due to her age and other things we had to have her put to sleep, again we can not fault the vet and nurse , receptionist they stayed with us until the end and even give us time with poppy to say our goodbyes once she had gone xx"
"I came home today from an exhausting day at work and was so touched when I opened the post and in one envelope was a beautiful, handwritten, thoughtful card of condolence from the White Cross Vets. Included in the card was a packet a forget-me-not flower seeds to plant in my garden in memory of Annie. The sentiments expressed in the card were so touching and thoughtful and to know that somebody took the time out of their busy schedule to put pen to paper to make me feel better, really brightened my day. Thank you ever so much, it really means a lot. You asked also about Annie's sister Elsie too, she's a little sad at the moment without her sister, so I will be getting another bunny playmate for her and I will certainly be bringing him or her to be looked after by yourselves. Thank you once again, what an amazing bunch of professionals ? xxxx"
"My little Bichon Woody would not be here today if it wasn't for Lou & Archie, who have gone above & beyond the call of Duty, Thank you all, Gill Done"
"First visit with my new puppy recieved fantastic service and advice from all staff... Thankyou so much. ?"
"Brilliant took my little girls hamster on monday, lovely people and don't rip you off ?"
"Where to start really - we could not as a family or pet owner have asked for more - thank you so much for your kindness, care and obvious love of working with animals who are so dear to us all as pets.
Sadly we had to bring our Big Fella - Oscar - big white boxer - into find out why he was not himself last few weeks and got the news sadly no pet owner wants to hear - I know he was a big ole fella but sadly prognosis was not a good one.
But each and everyone from the Receptionist to nurses to vets - especially Louise really really helped us and of course Oscar. To make that final decision is heart wrenching, gutting and we are heart broken losing him but they all helped us make his final journey peaceful, dignified and so so so supportive. And for that there are no words to say how much appreciated and thankful we are to you all.
Louise you are a star and wonderful - thank you - Oscar meant so much to us and he has left a huge big gap but you helped us and supported us and we could ask for no more than that.
Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts - Jardine Family on Old Upton Lane."
"Fantastic vets!! Louise is a wonderful caring vet! Would definitely recommend ?"
"Took my very sick puppy Charlie to vets they suspected / treated him for lungworm....Louise and Stuart through their knowledge and expertise pulled him through this terrible illness....I cannot praise them enough....without their care and attention I don't think he would have pulled through....I'd like to thank you from the bottom of mine and Charlies hearts...Chloe and Helen were very friendly and showed honest concern for his welfare....I'd cannot recommend this vets highly enough...."

Thank you again and you will sure see me again eby said thank you also for her day our with teddy."
"We visited here on Thursday with my Jack Russel cross rescue dog. The vet (sorry can't remember his name) was fantastic. Lots of good advice and a lovely, friendly calming nature with my dog who is petrified and can be very aggressive when at the vets. Also a lovely touch was a sticker and colouring sheet for my little girl! Definitely pleased we have moved vet and will most certainly recommend!"
"Really supportive with lots of good advice for our new puppy. Douglas wasnt phased by his first visit and loved all the attention. We called back in later in the week for a toy and he was wagging his tail the whole time, you cant ask for more than that!!"
"I recently registered with White Cross and took my 4 cats for their health checks and boosters all together. Vet nurse at reception was really friendly and helpful helping us in with all the carriers and sorting health plans. Then vet was lovely and patient with all the cats. Our Tiggy is nearly 16 and very timid. The vet was really gentle and patient with her. She made all the cats feel at ease. Would really like to thank all involved. You made us all feel very welcome and I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a new vets."
