About Us

We have two lovely surgeries, one in the middle of Shenley Park, opposite a beautiful apple orchard, with fabulous tea rooms just a minute’s walk away! Our Edgware surgery is more urban, both have friendly clients, with a large uptake of insured pets. Both surgeries are well equipped, with our main work done at the Shenley premises (xrays, scans etc). We have a great local reputation and enjoy being very much part of the local community.

About the Team and Culture

We have 4 Vets, a Practice Manager, 7 Nurses and 2 Receptionists. You couldn't find a friendlier team! We have amazing staff retention; most have been here for many years. Everyone is super supportive, clinically, physically, and emotionally. We have great clients, almost all of who have come to us from a personal recommendation, and we are renowned for the personal attention we give to our patients and their owners. We are looking forward to getting involved again with community projects, such as local dog shows and school visits. Several of our staff bring their own dogs with them to work and we can always find a peaceful place for them to settle down!
