Pet Doctors Woking is the first clinic to be fitted with a free wifi hotspot for its customers. Any customer with a suitably equipped laptop, PDA or 'SmartPhone' can now check email or surf the 'net while waiting for their appointment.

To use the service, just ask reception for a valid user name and password - each 'ticket' provides one hour of access - not that you will have to wait that long for your appointment, unless you turn up very early!
