Company

Swadlincote Veterinary Centre is a first opinion veterinary surgery, whose primary aim is to provide the very best of veterinary care for your pets. Every client and patient matter to us.

Swadlincote Veterinary Centre (formally Waterloo House Vets) has been in its current location at the entrance to The Pipeworks Retail Park and Morrisons Supermarket since June 2013.

Our current premises started out life as the headquarters for the old Wraggs and Hepworth pipe makers. After laying derelict for many years, the property was purchased along with acres of land which is now the Pipeworks Retail Park. The building has undergone a full renovation into a modern and highly functional veterinary surgery while maintaining the original character and features.

We have an experienced veterinary team to look after your pets from their younger years right through to their senior years. Our vets are experienced in a comprehensive range of diagnostics.
