Company

We are located in the historic town of Glastonbury, on the beautiful Somerset Levels in the South West of England. Our seven vets are supported by a dedicated team of nurses and office staff who keep things running smoothly and cheerfully. Our philosopy is simple - the animal comes first. Every pet which is treated here is treated with respect and consideration, just as if it were one of our own.

Our custom built, specialist premises are a bit of a local land mark, easily visible as they are just off the bypass on the edge of the town, roughly halfway between Street and Glastonbury. We have a wide catchment area with clients coming from the surrounding villages as well as other centres such as Bridgwater, Somerton and Shepton Mallet.
