Braveheart

Braveheart

Every month, we honour an animal for extreme bravery with our Brave Heart Award.

RCVS Accredited Practice

Braveheart

At Market Veterinary Centre we have a large variety of cases come through the door on a daily basis, some are routine, others are emergencies. Although all our patients are treated with equal importance, each month we like to nominate an animal for our ‘Brave Heart’ award. This is awarded in recognition of animals who have shown exceptional bravery, battled against the odds or whose story captured the imagination and hearts of staff members!
