About us
At Cinque Ports we do things a little differently. We asked some of our fabulous nurse team what their favourite things are about working at Cinque Ports:
"We use multi-modal analgesia with pain scores. We even use local anaesthetic for our neutering's as standard."
"Our standard of care is on a referral centre level, but we are a close knit team with a family feel and no out of hours"
"We have the time to spend with those nervous patients, we use lots of social clinics, we use fear free handing and chemical restraint where necessary and we never, ever scruff cats! "
"It's the little things like having a calm, quiet, cat waiting area - cat ward. The cats are never anywhere near any dogs and there are plenty of cat castles, roomy kennels and lots of Pet Remedy"
