Telephone: 01989 562115

Archenfield Veterinary Surgery is located close to the town centre of Ross-on-Wye and provides veterinary care for both small and large animals - from hamsters to cattle. The surgery's dedicated team of three vets, two nurses, a trainee veterinary nurse and receptionists are keen to provide help and assistance to you and your pet.

Staff at the surgery pride themselves on being able to offer their own twenty-four hour emergency service so that you can be certain to see one of the vets immediately.

Surgery times are from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, 2:00 pm to 3:00 PM and 5.30 PM to 6:30 PM on weekdays with a Saturday surgery from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. There is no appointment system so simply turn up with your pet during surgery hours to see a vet or nurse. We close between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM weekdays. Please feel free to call in at any other time to weigh your pet or just to socialize them! It is important for the animals to feel happy going to the vets so if they can visit and just receive treat or some fuss, they may be less likely to be stressed when they have to visit for any other reason.
