Camelids
Our camelid vets are highly experienced in dealing with alpacas and llamas having worked alongside large and small herds for many years working to improve herd health and productivity. The camelid vet team is headed up by Rebecca Edwards who has been awarded the RCVS Certificate in Camelid Practice. Meet our farm team.
Our farm team are all members of the British Veterinary Camelid Society, which ensures we remain up to date with current best practice and can offer the best service to our camelid clients.
We are passionate about preventative healthcare and reducing common problems. Periodically through winter months we offer client meetings on a range of camelid topics, helping to keep abreast of current healthcare. Find out more about our client meetings.
