Dog Friendly Accredited Vets
Beacon View is proud to have been accredited by the Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme, an initiative run by Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association (BVBA), to ensure the most comfortable veterinary care experience possible for dogs and their owners. We felt the scheme sat perfectly along side our Fear Free approach to veterinary care.
Many dogs find vet visits stressful, which can result in them being unwilling to enter clinics, being difficult to examine, and worried during treatment. The Dog Friendly Clinic scheme helps practice staff develop dog behaviour knowledge and skills so they can recognise and address early signs of anxiety and improve the welfare of dogs whilst in the clinic.
Through the scheme created by Dogs Trust and the BVBA, canine experts provide the tools for our team to learn more about dog behaviour, including how pain and health conditions can be contributing factors to behaviour, and how to reduce the impact of visiting the vet for dogs.
Our Dog Friendly Facilities include:
- Reception and consulting rooms
-
- Spacious off street parking for a stress-free transfer to the reception area
- A warm welcome at reception in our cat only area, including pheromone diffusers and non-slip floors
- Our team have undergone additional Fear Free® training to help reduce the stress of veterinary visits for you and your pets
- Longer than average appointments (20 minutes) as standard
- Climate control in kennels, consulting rooms and reception
- If you listen carefully you will hear classical music playing in the background which is show to reduce stress in dogs
- Treatment and diagnostics
-
- The latest digital x-ray and ultrasound machines
- Specialist endoscopic equipment
- In house laboratory and blood analysis machines
- State of the art surgical suite including anaesthetic monitoring equipment and patient temperature control
- Dental suite including dental x-ray
Not all vets are created equal. Be part of a practice where your pet is treated as a member of the family, and you are considered a partner in your pet’s care.

Excellent service from pre date of appointment where contact is second to none, on the day where I, as the client is felt at ease by the vets and nurses, to the update phone calls saying how my pet was doing to pickup where you know that they've been very well looked after, to the post op follow up appointment a few days later. Consumate professionals, caring, loving and extremely good value. It's not about the cost, it's about how we'll their looked after, the treatment they receive and post op treatment and advice they provide. Couldn't ask for better.

I can’t thank Claire enough.... after a long walk with Cookie the cocker spaniel he came home with a grass dart in his ear.... we rang the vets and too out surprise Claire picked up the phone .... we explained what had happened and she told us she had just got home, to give her half an hour and she would be back with us..... she examined Cookie and told us that he would have to be sedated to remove it.... pain killers were given and he’s due for the procedure today ...... Cookie is more than just a dog to me.... he’s helped me through loosing my dad and is more like a friend than a pet .... i just wanted to say Thank you soooo much for what you have done to make sure Cookie was comfortable and for turning out when you had only just got home .... I cannot recommend enough

Three weeks ago, Snoopy, our 10 ten year old Jack Russell, had a growth removed from under an eyelid. From initial consultation through to the op. itself and aftercare, Claire and everyone at the practice looked after him superbly well. Snoopy is now back to his handsome self and actually enjoys visiting the practice. That has never happened before

We are very confident that our cats health is in expert and caring hands. The practice was recommended to us by a family member because of the excellent and prompt treatment her pet received. Claire and team always seem to have time to listen and speak to us and know our, and our cats foibles. It's reassuring that we can get blood test results quickly, Our cat had to have several teeth extracted which is a tricky operation but it went exceptionally well, and the cat made a full recovery,. We have already recommended to friends. Thank you Beacon View. You're a great team

Herbert waiting on Friday for his appointment for his vaccinations at Beacon View Vets. They are all so friendly and helpful there. Herbert wasn’t as scared as he was at the previous vets. In fact he was quite calm. Thanks to all the staff there. Highly recommend this vet practice!

Claire helped me take care of my elderly Golden Doodle at a different practice. I really liked her manner with him and her encouragement and advice to me when I was falling apart. I was delighted to find her again at Beacon View and have seen quite a bit of her and the team in the 9 weeks I’ve had my new dog! They are all so nice and Bertie is more than happy to go in with them. He’s had 2 procedures and the staff kept me informed every step of the way. The check ups are either done by email with photos, telephone or in person. Their aftercare is excellent too. It’s good to know that the whole team work in the same way as Claire and I would definitely recommend them.

Always happy with the efficient and professional service we receive at Beacon View vets. All staff work exceptionally hard and are friendly and approachable, we always know our pooch Lola is in safe hands when she visits. Big thanks to Claire and your exceptional team for providing such a great veterinary service to the village of Eastry.

I cannot recommend Claire and her team enough. One day after registering we needed her help for our dog. The skill, efficiency, dog. The skill, efficiency, friendliness and support were truly exceptional. Within 48 hours our dog was also seen by the ophthalmologist specialist who is part of the team. They were all truly brilliant; we have never been so well looked after before.
