Company

Our history in Ayrshire can be traced back to the 1930s. If you'd like to see how we've developed and expanded over the years.

Keri Cosby is our Practice Principal and can be found mainly working in our Saltcoats surgery. Working under their direction are a brilliant team of vets, nursing staff and receptionists.

With surgeries in Largs, Saltcoats, and Dundonald, the vets work across three sites. Some vets are more likely to be seen at certain branches than others, but we can arrange for any vet to be seen at any branch if specifically required.

Our nursing staff are based at the larger branches in Saltcoats and Largs where the majority of operations and procedures will take place. We can transfer patients from Dundonald for you and return them again after their operations.

To get to know more about us, feel free to explore our site or better still, come in and meet us in person!
