Richmond & Twickenham: export certification & home vet visits

From Twickenham it is about 25 minutes to Heathrow by the A3063 and A4 without traffic. Owners moving abroad and pet shippers on this side of London can ask for an Official Veterinarian to examine and certify animals before they fly.
For pets staying at home: check-ups, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment and microchipping, booked Monday to Friday.
