Facilities
We have full capability to deal with 99% of cases
McKinney Veterinary Practice is proud to remain an independent, family-run practice. This means that as a client and pet owner, the treatment and advice can be tailored to your needs. There is no pressure for our team to meet targets set by the distant owners like many corporate practices.
We are a 2-branch practice, first established in Broughton-in-Furness in the 1950s. We then opened a 2nd branch in Millom in 1988 to provide more accessible veterinary treatment in the area. Consultations take place at both practices, with our main branch at Broughton, where we have our theatre, kennels and diagnostic facilities.
Our Broughton branch is open Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm.
Our Millom branch is open 1:30pm – 3:30pm Monday – Friday and 10am-12pm on Wednesday.
Consultations are available by appointment and are offered at Millom and Broughton. In certain circumstances, if you feel your pet is unable to visit us at our practices, we may be able to provide a home call for you. We are often very limited to what we can offer at home but always strive to provide the best care given the circumstances.
If your pet needs overnight hospitalisation, they will stay at our Broughton branch and care will be provided by our dedicated team.
Out of Hours Emergencies
We are also proud to provide around the clock care to your pets and farm animals, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, provided by our wonderful dedicated team. If you require a vet in an emergency, you will always see one of our own vets at our own premises. We are passionate about maintaining this service as we know how comforting it can be to see a familiar face and practice at a scary time. This service is only available for our registered clients.
If you need us in an emergency please call 01229 716230. Out of hours, the phone will be answered in person and the receptionist will then contact the duty vet for you, this means there is you will have no worries about whether the message has been received or not. If you are asked to leave a number for the duty vet to contact you, please leave a number where you will be available to answer to make the experience as smooth as possible.
