Friendly, experienced care for pets across Ringmer and Horam, with time for every consultation and a team who get to know you and your pet by name.
At Downwood, we believe good veterinary care starts with a proper conversation. We are a long-established independent practice with two surgeries in Ringmer and Horam, and a team many of our clients have known for years.
Our consultations are unhurried, our advice is honest, and our approach is practical. We make recommendations we would make for our own pets, and we explain the why behind them so you can make the right choice for yours.
About Downwood
Whichever location works best for you, you will see the same warm welcome and the same familiar faces.
From a first puppy visit to advice on a senior pet, we look after your animal at every life stage. Our team handles routine consultations, nurse clinics, vaccinations, dental work, diagnostics and surgery, all under one roof.
We are also a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, with separate waiting and consulting space so cats feel calmer from the moment they arrive.
The loss of a beloved animal can be one of the hardest things to face. Pets are not just animals, they are family, friends and constant companions. Grief does not have a timetable, and you do not have to walk through it alone.
Our By Your Side service offers gentle, one-to-one support for anyone navigating the loss of a pet, whether that loss is recent, expected, or many years past.
Our monthly care plans bundle the preventive care your pet needs into one straightforward payment, with built-in savings on the things you would book in for anyway.
Separate cat waiting areas, calm handling, and a team trained to make every visit as low-stress as possible. One of only five practices in Sussex accredited to Gold standard by International Cat Care.
Our reviews tell the personal experience of an owner who has trusted us with the care of their pet, something we never take for granted.
Register your pet, book an appointment, or message us on WhatsApp. Whatever works best for you, we will look after the rest.
