Equestrian Veterinary Advice

Chapelfield

Veterinary Partnership

Chapelfield is a 15 man practice covering Norfolk and north Suffolk. The practice covers all aspects of veterinary work - companion animals (horses, cats & dogs) and farm animals (cattle, sheep & pigs). In addition, the practice has its own veterinary laboratory which caters for its own requirements, as well as those of external practices and agencies.

Over the coming months members of the practice will provide articles, stories and information on equine topics and subjects. If you would like information on certain subjects to be considered for this site please forward your requests to vet@saddler.co.uk. Unfortunately we cannot provide individual responses, but we will try to incorporate your chosen subject in the near future. We do appreciate your input.
