More from Moorgate Vets
If your pet is on prescription medicines, please give us plenty of notice when ordering a repeat supply. We have been informed today that we will no longer be able to receive our daily wholesale delivery (medicine delivery). We have been told that at a minimum we will receive an order every other working day, but at turbulent times we may only be receiving a weekly delivery. We also order our companion animal food, farm medicines, consumables and many other items through our wholesaler so this need to be taken into consideration. Thank you for your understanding.
