A HUSBAND and wife have opened a new veterinary practice in Tottington.

Owners Gillian and Ian Mostyn searched for two years for a suitable site before identifying premises in the Bury Road.

Pennine Vets will treat cats, dogs, rabbits and rodents but are also happy to see exotic pets such as parrots and reptiles.

Ian is one of only 30 vets in the UK who holds a certificate in zoological medicine, achieved after two years of written and practical exams.
