General Info
Birch Veterinary Centre Ltd is a friendly practice offering compassionate care to Wirral animals for over 100 years!
We are one of the largest small animal practices on Wirral and have surgeries at Oxton, Moreton and Thingwall.
At Birch Veterinary Centre we look after animals as if they were our own and enjoy a varied caseload and the challenges that come with a busy practice. We encourage work up and treatment all under one roof to offer speedy and impressive same-day care to sick pets.
We offer digital xray and ultrasound to aid diagnostics. We also have a state of the art dental machine, endoscopy and fully stocked laboratory facilities to aid diagnoses. Local cover for out-of-hours work means 24-hour dedication to your pet's well being. Our vets are LVI-trained and able to offer your pets continental travel via the PETS passport scheme.

This vet practice has very knowledgable, friendly staff who care deeply about your pets. They go that extra mile for you, with reasonable rates even for weekend hours services. They also treat exotics, unlike some others, including reptiles, rodents, birds and even huge tortoises. Many operations can be done on site and they monitor your pet really well while they recover. They have never cancelled an appointment with me, or been late returning my pet after surgery. Myself and my family have been going to this practice for over twenty years with various pets and their standards have always remained high. Every time we go there and talk to other customers they all agree that they love the staff and service, and would not change practices unless it closed. Reception is always staffed and getting through to them by phone is easy. Payment processes are quick with a contactless card reader, or cash. There are never hidden charges. You are presented with a treatment plan before any major treatment, or tests, to be signed, so you know what you are paying for. If the bill is sizeable you can arrange a payment plan. I have seen staff many times stay on late to help an emergency case, like a dog hit by a car. If the practice is not open, they refer to Chester Gates Animal Hospital. In the situation that you lose your pet, or have to put it to sleep they are genuinely concerned for you, and take care of you. You can call any time in surgery hours to ask for advice, and the reception staff are usually assistants or nurses, so they can answer well. Alternatively, you can ask for your vet to call you back when they are free if they can't come to the phone. Read Less

Last September my perfectly healthy collie Codie collapsed on our morning walk. I rushed her to Birch vet's and Mr Shepherd diagnosed her problem immediately (ruptured spleen) and rushed her into surgery. It was a big shock. She was in a bad way but his fast actions meant she was able to enjoy another two months with us pain free and happy. It also meant she could join us on a family holiday in Scotland where she never stopped smiling and had the time of her life. She as like a puppy again. Sadly the cancer had spread though and Codie collapsed again at the end of November. Again Mr Shepherd rushed her to surgery but sadly there was nothing that could be done. Through the most difficult time Birch were caring and couldn't do enough. I have another five dogs and six rabbits and always ask for Mr Shepherd now and wouldn't go anywhere elseRead Less
