Maison Dieu Vets in Dover relocates into former Carpetright in £1 million move

A veterinary practice has undergone a £1 million move into a former Carpetright showroom.

Maison Dieu Vets in Dover relocated into its new, expanded home in Granville Street on Saturday.

The site, next to Pure Gym, was previously home to Carpetright before the store was shut several years ago.

Now it has been transformed into a £1 million modern practice, which bosses say will allow them to treat more pets and offer more services.

A spokesman for CVS Group, which manages the practice, said: “The limitations of our existing surgery has made it difficult to offer the level of service we want to.

“The new site gives us the opportunity to develop a spacious new practice with additional facilities and services.

“It is in a central location, easily accessible with the added benefit of ample on-site parking including disabled access.

“It is a modern veterinary environment whilst maintaining a warm and friendly feel.”

Features of the new practice include four consulting rooms, allowing for more appointments, and a bigger reception with separate waiting and kennel areas for cats and dogs.

There are also walk-in kennels for large breeds, an isolation ward for very sick pets, two operating theatres and an in-house lab.

The 3,800 sq ft facility is 500 metres away from its old home in Maison Dieu Road.
