A glimpse into our Gold Cat-Friendly Clinic
 
We are a first-opinion small animal practice with a branch in Bournemouth and a branch in Poole. Our sites are fully equipped with digital X-rays and ultrasounds. Our Bournemouth site has in-house lab machines, therapeutic laser, and dental radiography. We are also a Gold Cat-Friendly Clinic. 
 
Our Poole site is home to all our endoscopy equipment including rigid and flexible scopes and all our laparoscopic spays are performed here. We are located on the south coast close to great beaches and a short drive to the new forest. We are situated close to Bournemouth and Poole town centre with great transport links.
 
Find a team that cares
 
What is our unique selling point? It could be the buildings, possibly the equipment or the location, but in reality, it is our people, made up of vets, nurses, receptionists, and admin team that makes Aniwell such a great practice.
 
We are well-staffed with a high ratio of qualified Veterinary nurses, student nurses, receptionists, and support staff. We have an RVN studying for her anaesthesia certificate and a nurse who holds a certificate in ECC.
