A BURY veterinary practice has conjured up its own brand of animal magic by registering more than 2,000 clients in less than a year of trading.

Bury Vets4Pets was established as a joint venture partnership 12 months ago by owners Darren Bentley and Sean Taylor who have been thrilled by the success of their popular Manchester Road business. Both are overwhelmed by the response from pet owners in the town.

Darren and Sean, who are supported by veterinary nurse Melissa Taylor, believe their success is due to the excellent client relationship they have worked hard to build since opening their busy practice last January.

Darren has worked as a vet since 1991 and Sean qualified three years later.

Explained Sean: "We work hard to provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in a professional environment.

"We aim to give peace of mind and take the mystery out of a visit to the vets by making it an enjoyable experience for pets and owners alike.

Bury Vets4Pets has full medical and surgical facilities including advanced operating theatres, a hi-tech X-ray machine, a waiting room with childrens play area, cat and dog wards and free parking.

Darren said: "People have been really impressed with the size and scope of the facilities.

"They are really pleased to have the opportunity to be shown round behind the scenes in the different areas where we care for the pets."
