[H1] Why Us?

[IMG: RCVS Accreditation Logo]
Ferring Street Veterinary Surgery opened on 14th March 2011 with a vision of providing a welcoming and relaxing practice; an environment where we can provide the highest level of care to our patients and our clients.

With our great team and fantastic clients, we outgrew our Ferring surgery and in 2018 we opened a sister surgery in East Preston for our clients coming from East Preston, Angmering, Rustington, Littlehampton and Arundel.

We expanded into our modern premises in Ferring in 2021. It was a challenge to build the surgery during the pandemic but well worth it and we are delighted to show off our new premises to you.

All of our surgeries are fully equipped to perform a high standard of surgery, dentistry, ultrasonography, digital x-ray and ophthalmology so we do not need to refer your pet elsewhere. We have a friendly team of vets with diverse interests and we aim for you to be able to see the same vet- someone who knows your pet. As a result we like to see our clients as friends and we’ll give you the support and advice you need for your pet’s wellbeing.

Our nurses are highly trained and skilled and offer compassionate care for your pets and advice in their clinics.

Our reception team love getting to know you and your pets (who all seem to know exactly where to find the treat jar). They work hard to keep both surgeries running smoothly.

Ferring Street Vets offer a uniquely friendly and approachable service and are fully committed to providing the following:

Experienced lead veterinary surgeons at each surgery
We encourage you to see the same vet every visit
Genuinely caring vets with a “down to earth” attitude
Modern practices, traditional values
Experienced RCVS qualified nurses
State of the art equipment and premises
Relaxing, air conditioned surgeries
Open 7 days a week
20 minute consultations
Private parking directly in front of practice

[H1] Nurse Clinics
At Ferring Street we offer a range of appointments with a Veterinary Nurse. Our Veterinary Nurses are here to give you advice and support whenever you need it.

Listed below are some of the consultations available:

Nail clips
Anal gland emptying
Flea and worming advice
Post operative checks and suture removal
Diabetic clinics
Senior health clinics
Dental clinics
Puppy and kitten advice
Cuddle and care clinics
Post op check and wound care
Weight clinics

[H4] Diabetic clinics

For those pets that are newly diagnosed with the condition and would like further guidance and support. During these clinics the Veterinary Nurse can help owners to understand what diabetes means and how it will affect their pet. The Veterinary Nurse can also help to demonstrate how to inject insulin safely and most importantly show owners how to come up with a daily routine. This clinic may also be useful for owners that wish to be shown how to do glucose curves at home.

[H4] Senior health clinics

As our pets age their body will change in different ways and sometimes these changes can happen without us even realising. It is important with any condition to diagnose it early but also with regular checks we can often help prevent them developing. Our senior health clinics will offer clients a chance to have their pets examined and to help owners recognise the symptoms of common diseases that can be a worry when our pets age. They can include urinalysis and measurement of blood pressure.

[H4] Dental clinics

Over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats aged over 3 years have dental disease of some kind. This is a big percentage of pets that are at risk of requiring dental care. Not only can this be costly for an owner, but it also means your pet will require an anaesthetic for something that could be prevented. The Veterinary Nurse can check your pets’ teeth to assess their condition whilst also helping owners to get involved with dental care.

[H4] Puppy and kitten advice

These clinics are aimed at owners who are soon to be picking up their new member of the family or have brought their puppy or kitten home recently. This clinic can be beneficial for owners that have never had a pet before or even experienced owners that want to make sure they are covering all areas. The Veterinary Nurse can go through diet, behaviour, training, growth and much more.

[H4] Cuddle and care clinics

These clinics are aimed at anxious and nervous pets. We know that visiting the Veterinary Practice can be a very scary time for your pets. Cuddle and care clinics give owners and pets the opportunity to come in for a visit without the dreaded examinations or injections! Expect treats, love, patience and time from our Veterinary Nurses.

[H4] Weight clinics

If you have concerns that your pet is overweight then this clinic can really help you as an owner to know what overweight means to your individual animal and how it can be managed. Weight loss doesn’t have to be scary as our Veterinary Nurses will work alongside you to make changes be it big or small.

[H4] Flea and worming advice

As the market of flea and worming products is forever growing it can become very daunting for pet owners to know what the most effective treatment for their beloved friend is. Here at Ferring Street Vets we want to make sure that owners understand exactly what it is they are giving their pet throughout the year. We can also demonstrate to owners how to give these treatments correctly and when. By doing this we can help keep those nasty parasites at bay!

Jess completed her training at the RVC, graduating with a BSc Honors degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2007 and has been nursing since 2003. Jess has been with Ferring Street since the beginning in 2011 and keeps us all on our toes. Jess has a special talent. She has an amazing ability to remember every animal she has met and its name. We invite you to test her out! Jess has a gentle way with animals and she can win over the most nervous of patients. Jess was torn whether to be a nurse or a teacher so she satisfied that wish as a Clinical coach and trains the nurses of the future. Jess literally can’t help but bring her work home with her so her cats Barley and Arabella came with problems but at least they couldn’t have come to a better home. Jess also has an energetic labrador, Mortimer, who she runs and enjoys scent-work with. Having said she'd never have a labrador, this is her second!

[H4] Emily Caldwell – RVN

Emily has always loved being around animals and had many pets while growing up so the idea of being a veterinary nurse always appealed.

Emily brings a wealth of experience which she shares with the younger members of the team. She is a clinical coach to our student nurses. Emily really enjoys getting to know the Ferring Street patients and their humans.

I joined the team at Ferring Street in May 2022. I have worked in small animal practice for the past 15 years, starting as a kennel assistant and then going on to qualify as a RVN in 2015.

My favourite part of the job is the variety of patients and conditions that we get to see every day, ensuring that no two days are the same! I enjoy monitoring anaesthetics and nursing inpatients. My background in volunteering at a local wildlife hospital lead me to rehabilitate and nurse many injured and ill wildlife over the years.

I completed a C&G Certificate in Nursing of Exotic Species in 2017 and Vets Now Certificate in Veterinary Nursing in Emergency & Critical Care in 2022.
