Company

The Powderham Veterinary Group is a long-established modern veterinary practice based at our two surgeries in Newton Abbot and Torquay.

All surgeries are by appointment with morning, afternoon and evening sessions at both branches.

Our Torquay Surgery is a purpose built premises and opened in January 2012, due to relocation from our old Torquay surgery on Newton Road. This has enabled us to offer a broader and better service to our clients and patients.

We treat all animal species including farm animals, horses and pets.

The practice covers a wide area surrounding Torquay and Newton Abbot including Buckfastleigh, Widdecombe-in-the Moor, Bovey Tracey, Christow, Dunsford and Teignmouth.
