This Month's Topics


At Paragon the highest standards of companion animal clinical veterinary practice are combined with a commitment to nursing and all-round patient care.
 

     
 

Small animal services are provided by a team of 7 vets and 6 nurses at our centres - Carlisle House in Dalston, Townhead Farm in Newbiggin and Paragon Pet Health Centre in Carlisle.

All our vets have areas of special interest which are pursued through professional courses and post-graduate qualifications. Gary Lewin holds Certificates in Veterinary Opthalmology and Small Animal Surgery and accepts referrals from all over the UK. Ann Noble is studying for a Certificate in Small Animal Medicine.

Carlisle House is located on Townhead Road in Dalston. Consultations are available by appointment throughout the day from Monday to Saturday. We offer 24 hour emergency cover.

Townhead Farm is in Newbiggin just West of Penrith. Consultations are available by appointment throughout the day from Monday to Friday. We offer 24 hour emergency cover.

Our small animal patients range from dogs and cats, through rabbits, chinchillas and ferrets, to hamsters, rats, guinea pigs and mice. Anne Abbs has a special interest in exotic species especially birds. Click here to see the exotics page.
