Your Pet In St Ives
St Ives is a fantastic suburb for pets and pet owners alike. There is so much to do and so much to see, not to mention that it flourishes with local wildlife.
My name is Chris Boulton, a veterinarian from Gordon Vet Hospital. I wanted to give the St Ives community a pet-friendly snapshot of St Ives – things you can do and see.
We need your help! Please email me if you have some helpful tips or places to add to this site.
