E C Straiton & Partners

E C Straiton & Partners describes itself as a long-running mixed veterinary practice (caring for pets, farm animals and horses since the 1940s) and states it offers 24-hour emergency services. No corporate group affiliation is stated in the available sources.

From the latest reviews, owners most often point to how the team handles nervous dogs and takes time during appointments—for example, a vet collecting an anxious elderly terrier from the car for treatment, and another owner noting the vet “spent time” with their retriever and gave detailed advice. Routine preventive care and common problems also come up in recent visits, including booster/annual vaccinations, nail care, and treatment for a suspected urinary tract infection in a puppy.
