Situated in a prominent roadside position, the development is ideally located with easy access to all of the region's major road networks.

Vets4Pets has practices across the UK and delivers the very best in pet care through joint-venture partnerships with its veterinary surgeons.  The move to open a new practice is part of its strategy to delivers its services in key demographic areas.

Steve O'Toole, business development manager for Vets4Pets, said:  "We wanted a location close to the city centre, easily accessible for our customers and which complimented the practices we already had in the region.

"The unit will provide us with a modern, contemporary look and will help in developing greater customer focus for our services."

Richard Norgrove, property director at Hortons, added: "We are delighted to welcome Vets4Pets to the Hagley Road Retail Park.
