The Harrogate Vet is set to open a new 24-hour hospital.
The practice, which opened on Leeds Road in 2019, is owned by parent company and integrated veterinary services provider CVS UK Ltd.
It shared the news on social media this afternoon.
The post said building work on its new “state-of-the art veterinary hospital” on Ripon Way had begun and it was due to open this summer.
Veterinary surgeon Diane Cole told the Stray Ferret the new site will include five consult rooms, two surgery theatres, a dental suite, a CT machine and on-site parking.
