Sidmouth Veterinary Practice is hoping third time’s a charm as it looks to get its hands on an ‘Oscar of the trade’.

The practice, based at Sidmouth Garden Centre, is in the running to take home Vet of the Year and Practice of the Year accolades at the Petplan Veterinary Awards in Birmingham in April.

It has been nominated for the third year in a row.

Owner Richard Jones said: “We are very honoured to be nominated.

“We want to get our hands on the trophy and hopefully we will.

“Thank you very much for nominating us and we hope to continue providing the best care we can.”
