Puppy School

Middle Brighton Vet Centre promotes responsible pet ownership & encourages good behaviour in all pets. We conduct Puppy School on a regular basis, and have had the absolute pleasure of hosting Puppy School over the many years where we aim to teach puppies good manners in a safe and relaxed environment.
