Where do members take their goats? Brown and Paddon is useless and apparently my next nearest is in Ely.

as I don't know where you live this might not be helpful but I use Pengally and Mizen from the middle of Peterborough. Have only had very routine stuff done but they seem to be good. Their number is 01733 554953.

Thanks for the reply. I have since found an excellent vet after Brown and Paddon nearly killed one of my goats. They are Norfolk farm vets and particularly Helen and her black labrador.
I can't use Pengelly and Mizzen because of their involvement in the puppy farm trade. Or should I say that I won't. I live by my ethics.

what involvement in the puppy farm trade? I ask in real ignorance what am I not aware of?

Have you heard of 'windrush lodge kennels' just outside Holbeach? They advertise in most local papers. They are puppy farmers and dog dealers who buy whole litters off the Welsh, Scottish and Irish puppy farmers. Pengelly and Mizen were (not sure if they still are) the vets who would inspect the puppies, pass them as fit for sale, and vaccinate them. I am involved in rescue and have taken many dogs which originated from these kennels and the innoculation cards all bear the stamp of 'pengelly and mizen'They make a nice living out of vaccinating the many hundreds of poor puppy farm bred pups which get sold through this kennels and probably other Peterborough based puppy farms too since not many vets want to be associated with the filthy trade.
