Johnny Kriek and Paula Kitchener with a Labrador and chicken
Santa Paws and Mrs Claws made an appearance at a new veterinary surgery in Banstead on Sunday.
Hundreds of people attended the open day which featured tours and a raffle in aid of the Children’s Trust in Tadworth.
Johnny Kriek and his wife Gillian Gibson opened Kriek and Gibson Veterinary Surgery in Brighton Road last month.
Mrs Gibson said: "Our goal is to be part of the community. We live in Banstead which is one of the reasons why we decided to locate our practice here."
