Both branches have dedicated operating theatres, separate dog and cat ward areas, digital x-ray facilities, dental x-ray, ultrasound. Sale is a newly built practice opened in 2019, nice and spacious and modern. It is smaller, but growing practice with a nice client base. Walkden is a well-established practice with an interesting case load and most of the team have been at the practice a while and are experienced. The two teams have recently merged and are friendly, welcoming and hard working.

Practices that truly look after their team members are hard to come by. That's where White Cross Vets stand out. We have featured in the Sunday Times Top 100 Company to Work for 6 years running and offer exclusive benefits across all our branches. Wellbeing and charity work are also a priority for us.
