The main practice centre is in Grimsby on the North Lincolnshire coast. We also run two branch practices for consultations only at Immingham and Caistor. Our vet practice, which is small animal only, is based in a massive old Victorian house in the conservation area of the town, with extensive on-site parking for both clients and staff. The majority of our clients have been with us for many years and consider our family atmosphere and personal, friendly consulting style to be one which inspires their trust in the treatment of their pets.

The Abbey Veterinary Centre has a permanent team of nine veterinary surgeons.  Many of our vets either hold or are working towards advanced post-graduate qualifications which enable them to diagnose and treat patients with complex conditions, both medical and surgical.  We encourage our younger vets to achieve these qualifications at an early stage of their careers, and we pay all the costs of their courses.

The experience of our senior vets means that the practice provides excellent veterinary support for recent or relatively recent graduates.  All vets rotate equally through wards, consultations and theatre and we actively encourage all veterinary staff towards competence in all fields.

We have a long-established nursing team of around 15 qualified and student nurses.  We value veterinary nursing skills; our nurses perform all lab investigations (blood sampling, spectrophotometry, preparing blood smears, urinalysis including dry preparations), all radiography, electrocardiography and a variety of nurse consultations (e.g. puppy health checks, dietary and behavioural advice).

Our veterinary nurses maintain and monitor anaesthesia in the operating theatres and, where possible, we encourage them to perform Schedule 3 surgical procedures. This makes full use of nurse training and allows veterinary surgeons to concentrate on interpreting data rather than having to personally perform all the routine investigative procedures themselves.

We like to think that the practice has a happy and relaxed working atmosphere. We consider everyone to be part of the team and to be integral to our reputation and success.
