Tomorrow marks the closure of John Knott’s Veterinary Practise at Upper Hookpit Farmhouse, Kings Worthy. After 37 years at the present location and 40 years in the village we are closing our doors as a licensed premises. John and the team have been overwhelmed with the messages we have received from clients, many who have become firm friends, wishing him a long and happy retirement.
Many thanks to you all for trusting John and the team to care for your pets needs over the years. We will miss the banter but not the phone calls. 😊
