Maison Dieu moves to new practice in Dover

CVS’ Maison Dieu Vets has moved to a brand new 3,800 square foot purpose-built building in the centre of the town.

The new modern building, in which £1 million has been invested, is all on one level and houses the latest veterinary facilities and equipment.

The new property will enable the practice to significantly expand the range of clinical services it offers to pets, and increase the number of clients it sees.

Four consulting rooms are being installed to offer a greater number of appointments, along with two spacious operating theatres with the latest veterinary equipment. The site will also house a dental suite, digital x-ray and ultrasound facilities, in-house laboratory, and isolation ward for very sick animals.

To keep stress to a minimum for patients, the practice will have a spacious reception area with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, in addition to separate dog and cat hospital wards. New walk-in kennels are also being built for larger dog breeds. There will also be a dog exercise area.

Carol Eales, Practice Director at Maison Dieu Vets, said: “This is an exciting move for us. We needed a larger practice - and Granville Street is a fantastic new site with a superb range of facilities. It’ll enable us to look after many patients right here. And it’ll mean that we can to grow the number of patients we see.”

To staff the practice, two experienced vets will collectively offer a wide range of veterinary services. Four veterinary nurses, two patient care advisors and three receptionists are also part of the 12-strong team, who will look after the practice’s clients and their pets.

The new practice is prominently located on Granville Street which is on multiple public transport routes. It has its own separate entrance to provide easy access, ample parking and full disabled access for clients and animal patients.
