Area Visit Days - Coming December 2025
Our new ‘Area Visit Days’ at Cambridge Equine Clinic (CEC) offer a cost-effective way to access routine veterinary care for your horse, pony or donkey.
By grouping visits in specific areas on set days, we reduce travel time and share travel costs between clients - and those savings are passed directly onto you. This approach helps keep routine care affordable while supporting our commitment to sustainability.
Fewer individual journeys mean fewer vehicle emissions, allowing us to lower our carbon footprint and deliver high-quality care with reduced environmental impact.
How it works?
- Our practice map is divided into 5 areas: Central, North, South, East and West. Each of the North, South, East and West areas has one scheduled Area Visit Day per week. The Central area is included three times weekly during any Area Visit Day.
- Area Visit Days allow for routine veterinary work to be done with a discounted visit fee of £20 per premises.
- As an introductory offer, until 6 months after launch, the Area Visit Day discounted visit fee of £20 per premises will be further discounted to be FREE.
When are our Area Visit Days?
- CENTRAL area – every TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
- NORTH area – every TUESDAY
- SOUTH area - every WEDNESDAY
- EAST & WEST areas – every THURSDAY
