About - Sunnyside Veterinary Clinic

About

The practice moved to its current location in 1997 and was purchased by the current owner Justin Kirkland BVMS MRCVS in June 2001

We are a small friendly practice and we like to get to know our clients and help them to look after their pets as well as they possibly can. Because we understand that trust comes with familiarity we are a sole vet practice.

Justin is assisted by Christine Maunders RVN & Val Rylance our practice administrator.

Justin qualified in 1991 at Glasgow Vet School and has over 20 years experience as a vet. Both Christine and Katrina have many years of experience in small animal practice. In fact our team has a total of nearly 60 years experience in pet care.

Sunnyside Veterinary Clinic can be found just outside Kings Lynn, 2 miles northeast of the Knight’s Hill roundabout on the A148 Fakenham road. The practice occupies a quiet rural setting which has plenty of free parking, as well as public footpaths to walk your dog.

The practice won the Mayors Award for Business in 2004 and has been an accredited veterinary nurse training practice for many years.

    The only vets I would ever use. Professional, kind and caring. These people really love animals to them it isn’t just a job. Took very great care of Norman right to the end of his life. Thank you all so much.

    Reasonably Priced

    Have been registered at a few vets however not only are they reasonably priced the staff truly love animals. Although a bit of a trek from my house at 17 miles it’s worth it to know they will be looked after. Indigo and Diego have enjoyed their visits so far.

    Best Vet

    Absolutely the best vet I’ve been to. Josie starts barking at the top of the road from sheer joy at going to see them. We always get seen straight away and they always know the best answer for Josie’s injuries or allergies. Great warm place with good prices. Thanks for being there!

    Friendly and Approachable

    We visited Sunnyside with my cockapoo while on holiday in Norfolk. After a day at the beach, she was continually vomiting and after consulting with my home vet on the phone, I was told to visit a local vet to check for blockages. The receptionist on the phone was very friendly and helpful and they were able to see my dog straight away. The vet checked her over and was able to put my mind at ease. Very friendly and approachable. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
