Independent, family-run farm vet practice in the Isle of Man

Strand Vets have always believed prevention is better than cure and careful planning not only saves money but helps make it too. Modern vet practice is more involved in ensuring a farm is run profitably, minimising disease and has preventative medicine as high priority. Of course, even with the best planning, there will always be some emergencies and we can help with those too!

I have just enrolled my dog under the care strand. She was spayed laparoscopically recently and I can not recommend the team enough. Every aspect of the care both pre and post had been outstanding. Genuine care and focus on your needs and that of your beloved pet - Well done Strand 👏🏻

We would like to thank Strand Vets especially Fern for the compassion and care given over the recent loss of our lovely Little Lito.

Was seen tonight by Amy, who offered me advice on my overweight cat. Amy discussed the various options with me and was happy to answer any questions I had (and there were quite a few)! She explained the weight management programme to me in detail (size of rations, when to feed etc), and was just brilliant. I was worried about the cost of special diet food,but after she broke it down for me, it didnt seem too expensive after all. She is a credit to the Strand Vet Team, who are all just amazing anyway!!

Lovely vets, took my dog Sadie to be spayed by keyhole surgery not available at my usual vets in Douglas. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and gentle with Sadie. When we went back 2 days later for the post op review. Sadie was so excited to go back. That told me everything! Brilliant experience and would definitely recommend getting dogs spayed this way. She’s back doing Zoomies around the garden 48 hours after surgery. Thanks 😊

I have taken all my pets to Strand Vets who have been absolutely fabulous in sad and happy times so I had no hesitation in taking Ruby and Pearl, my two kittens, to be spayed. Just been for their final check up and everything is fine.

Faultless! I came in this morning at 9.10 thinking I'd see if they had space for my pups gunky eyes on Monday. I had a appointment in c/town at 10. They had me in 15 mins later and out in time for me to be early for my appointment. Was worried as it wasn't the "usual staff" I recognise. Stressing was pointless as the ladies on this morning were just as ace as the weekday staff I'm used to seeing 🙂

I would like to thank Strand vets for making a difficult time easier to bear. Today we got our cats ashes back and along side them was a small gift. They had taken a pawprint of our beautiful cat (Colby's) paw for us to keep forever. We are all so very touched by this and would like to say a massive thank you for their kindness. Fantastic vets and so very caring. X

Thank you to all the team at Strand Vets for looking after my springer spaniel Bella. She had a keyhole spay on Monday and has bounced back so quickly! Brilliant caring staff.

They are an extremely friendly vets with all staff going that extra mile. Whether it is a dog, starling with a broken leg, hen with an abscess on her bottom, Jackdaw with breathing problems, they treat & do their best for all animals & birds, wild or domesticated. They are also forward thinking & have keyhole surgery making operations. This makes the likes of speying so much better for the animals with them able to walk out of the surgery & able to bounce about normally within 2 days. It's amazing!

This is one disease that should not be dismissed. Our vet Ciara Tinkler holds her own Johne’s veterinary advisor certificate, having undertaken training and examination in control strategies for the disease.
Ciara can help a farmer understand the risks, current disease status and control strategies best suited to a farm. For more information on Johne’s disease and strategic planning, see here: www.actionjohnesuk.org.
