From Friday 13th December, please expect some delays if you want next-day delivery.

Laboratory Opening Times and Testing
Please note that our external laboratories will also be closing during the Christmas period. We would therefore advise that you ring your local practice to discuss submissions ahead of posting any samples so as they can advise which lab this needs to be sent to.
During the Christmas period it is important to ensure that any routine testing, such as Salmonella, continues, so please do call the dispensary team to order any swabs or sample submission forms that are required during the festive period.
On behalf of all at The Chicken Vet, we wish you a
very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
