For a behind the scenes look at your family vet.

Willows Veterinary Centre & Referral Service is inviting residents to attend its family open day taking place on Sunday, October 9th.

From 11am to 4pm, the animal hospital will open its doors to the public, offering a behind-the-scenes tour of the amazing hospital and first-opinion centre facilities, and giving pet owners the chance to meet the expert team.

Lynne Hill, chief executive officer at Willows, said: “Whether you have a budding vet at home who is interested in learning more about the profession or are simply curious about the services we offer, we’d be thrilled to welcome you to our open day. We have complimentary refreshments and ice-creams for all as well as face painting for the children, so please come along and bring the whole family.

“Due to health and safety, we’re unable to welcome your pets to the event but we do have a great selection of animal goodie bags which you can take home to them.”

Visitors will also be encouraged to vote for one of Willow’s three nominated charities, with the winner receiving a £1,000 donation following the event, which takes place at Willows, Highlands Road, Shirley, Solihull B90 4NH.
