Here’s what the team have to say

“I joined Crown House Vets following a locum stint almost 8years ago. I knew before my contract ended that I wanted to work here permanently – and luckily I was given that opportunity! We have a fabulous team, who work well together, and a lovely client base. The benefits IVC provide excel any other company I have worked for and I look forward to coming to work each day.” – Louise Farricker, RVN Practice Director
