I have been a client for the last 27years with paragon vets Dalston. Through all of this time, the care, kindness, support and understanding by vets and nurses are impeccable. Having had some very trying times. I would recommend them and have done so many times.

Outstanding care has always been shown to all my animals past and present. They are the most dedicated, compassionate vets and nurses. Nothing is ever to much trouble. There aftercare alone is second to non. I would never go anywhere else. The best vets in Carlisle. If you want the best care for your animals them paragon is the place to take them. I can't thank them enough.

I can always get an appointment at short notice for my older puss cat at Dalston practice. The staff are friendly, caring, knowledgeable & helpful. The interior and exterior of the practice are beautiful and well-kept, plus there is free parking on site.
