REPEAT MEDICATION

Based in Penryn, Cornish Paws is a new family run independent veterinary practice. We offer complete health care to all domestic animals to an exceptionally high standard. As vets with over 12 years of experience we are here for you and your pets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Practice Facilities 

Parking 
Situated off the large car park for Penryn Rugby Club, we offer a huge amount of free parking directly outside the practice for all of our routine opening hours. When required, out of hours, there are 3 dedicated spaces directly outside the vets practice which will always be available for our clients.

Courtyard
With a large contained courtyard outside the practice we encourage any patients who might prefer to wait for appointments outside the practice to use this facility. We find it really helpful for any nervous dogs and we are even happy to offer outside consultations where appropriate.

Waiting room
We have a large waiting room and we ask all owners to respect the separate canine and feline waiting areas, in order to minimise stress for feline patients who generally don’t like to wait next to the more bouncy dogs.

Disabled access 
Our practice has full disabled access including a disabled toilet.

More Information

Old fashioned values with modern medicine, dedicated to happy and healthy pets.
“We simply can’t praise Matt and his team enough for the loving care they gave to our dog, who meant the world to us.

I researched all the vets in our local area when we moved here two years ago. I couldn’t find one I was happy with in the immediate vicinity and had to look further afield in order to find one to meet our high expectations. We wanted the very best for our dog. He deserved it for all the unconditional love he gave us.

We knew we didn’t want to use a corporately owned veterinary practice. We not only wanted a veterinary practice where the vets have all the experience, knowledge and skills expected of them, but just as importantly, we wanted a place where everyone employed has an obvious genuine love for the animals they care for.

Matt had such a special way of calming my elderly, nervous dog without the use of restraints and always provided the support and reassurance I needed as an anxious and sometimes emotional owner.

We will forever be grateful to Matt’s veterinary colleague Bill, who went the extra mile to accommodate our wish to be at home at the end. We will never forget, and will always be grateful for the patience, professionalism and compassion shown by both Bill and Leanne and for all the love and care given by Cornish Paws.”

About me

“In 2007 I graduated from Liverpool University as a veterinary surgeon and moved to Cornwall, where I have lived and worked ever since. On my first day in my new job, I re-homed Timber, a very nervous border collie. Many pets followed, but it was Timber who first taught me how best to care for nervous patients, a topic that I will always be passionate about. Now with the support of my vet nurse wife, and our young family, we are very excited to open our own small animal veterinary practice. So, with our total focus on the highest standard of care and happy patients, we welcome you to Cornish Paws.”
