About Us

History of our practice here in Clifton

Our practice has been standing since approximately 1947, where initial vet, Mr. E Cummins-Summner MRCVS, set up the practice.

In 1984 the practice was acquired by Mr Anthony Kaye MRCVS who renovated the historic building, installing central heating systems and hot running water. Mr Kaye’s young family initially lived over the practice but then later moved out to the suburbs.

The current vet, James Pickering MRCVS, took over the practice in early 2009 and has since renovated the practice further. From basement to roof, James has refurbished the practice with modern equipment in order to ensure the practice is able to provide a full service to you and your pets. From a full operating surgery to X-ray suites and ultrasound imaging to examination facilities, the new equipment has brought the surgery completely up to date.

Our veterinary practice

Our practice can cater for all of your pet's needs, including comfortable hospitalisation wards, routine treatments and pet accessories.

The most important feature of our practice is our staff. Friendly, reliable and completely besotted with animals, our staff are on hand to cater to you and your pet's needs, whatever the request.

Our friendly veterinary staff

One of the key components in caring for your pets is love, but our pets do require a few other things in order to be well-cared for.

Proper nutrition, vaccinations, regular check-ups and dental treatments are just a few of these and here at Clifton Veterinary Practice our vets and veterinary staff are here to help you.

Home visits

As part of our ongoing commitment to the area we offer free home visits to registered disabled people within BS8.

We also provide discounts for senior citizens and resident students.
