Alfreton vets is only 5 minutes away – all emergencies go there. If at all possible we do try to use your own vets as they have your pet’s medical history – always leave details of your vet on the booking in form.
We do! For injuries sustained or illnesses that start at Birchwood Kennels our insurance will settle any vets charges incurred.

In all cases where Birchwood Kennels have settled an invoice on your behalf these charges will be added to your final bill, payable on collection of your pet.
