We are open for essential care only

In line with government guidelines, we are only offering medically essential appointments, so please contact the practice team before travelling. Our opening hours may also vary, so please monitor our webpage to keep up to date with the latest information.

We are taking steps to help keep you and our colleagues safe:

If you do need to visit, we ask that only one person per pet comes along, to help reduce the number of people in the waiting area at any one time.
Social distancing is crucial at this time. When arriving, you may be required to call ahead and wait to be invited in by a member of our team. You will be informed if this is necessary when you call us to make your appointment.
Once inside the practice, we ask that you please respect a two metre distance from our colleagues and other clients.
We are only accepting card payments to help minimise contact between you and our colleagues.
If you can’t visit the practice and are concerned about your pet’s health, please contact us to discuss available options.

We will continue to share regular updates here and on our Facebook page. We thank you for your patience at this time.

Elaine has been with the practice since 2007, and was a welcome addition to the team with 17 years previously spent at an orthopaedic referral practice. Elaine loves all animals and is particularly interested in pet behavioral problems. She’s looking forward to moving house and then being able to get a dog! In the meantime she keeps herself busy with horse riding, socialising and walking in the Peak District.

Read Linda Barton bio

My name is Linda. I have been a member of the Ashton team for the past seven and a half years. My favourite part of the job is meeting new people and their pets but I can confess puppies are my favourite. I own a little Ihasa Apso dog called Lucy who will be five in February and a tortoise called Toady, she will be twelve soon. Working here at the Ashton clinic with the team is a pleasure and a rewarding job, so nice to see happy smiling faces from our clients.
