New independent veterinary practice set to deliver compassionate care in Salford Quays

Salford pet owners are set to see a new independent veterinary practice come to the Quays this Spring. 

MCR Vets will become the new space for pets at MediaCity Riverside from April 28.

The practice will be led by experienced vet Sinéad Bennett who – after registering the name in 2023 – is now finally building her dream independent practice with community at the heart.

After 17 years of veterinary experience, she said: “It’s just an incredible feeling, it really feels like a culmination of a lifetime worth of goals.

“I can finally pour everything that I want to be into my own clinic.”

After growing up in Salford, Sinéad is hugely dedicated to providing her community with a reliable and caring team of veterinary experts.

She continued: “I want them to come and have an unrivalled experience that they’re not going to have in a standard vet.”

Pet owners will be encouraged to “pop in” to the practice to get treats for their pets, simply to get them used to the idea of visiting the vet and make them less scared.

The practice, based behind the Harbour City tram stop, aims to making prices as reasonable as possible.

Sinéad is also promising no hidden costs, just “clear and fair pricing”.

MCR Vets is partnered with the RSPCA Salford Branch and will be  participating in the Cats Protection neutering voucher scheme.

Sinéad said: “It ties into that idea of community, not just the people community but also the animal community around Salford and Manchester.”

MCR Vets is also partnered with Pendleton Sixth Form College, providing a veterinary mentorship programme for aspiring veterinary students.

Alongside this, they will also fund an annual veterinary medicine scholarship, supporting those who may hit financial barriers.

To celebrate the launch, MCR Vets will be inviting the local community to a grand open day, with its date to be confirmed.

Pet owners, students, and veterinary professionals will be offered a tour of the practice and team and will be told more about the services on offer.
