Birkdale Veterinary Clinic has proudly been operating in the Birkdale area since 2003.

The clinic is owned by John Allerton who has lived most of his life in the Redlands. John's wife Kerri, is the clinic's practice manager. Birkdale Veterinary Clinic was originally established at 112 Birkdale Road, Birkdale, before moving to brand new, purpose-built premises at 106 Birkdale Road, Birkdale (near Dominos) in January 2013.

It has enjoyed steady growth since its inception, which John attributes to the team of dedicated staff who always strive to offer a personalised, caring service clients and their animals, with many loyal clients who have supported the clinic over the years.

The clinic has grown from a small vet practice to a well established family-owned business that now employs 8 staff, all from the Redlands.
