Your pets couldn’t be in better hands than at Claygate Vets. We are very much a proactive team and we love nothing more than being able to give advice and treatment to improve the lives of animals. As an independent veterinary practice, we run every part of our service and are able to always put the needs of our patients first.

There is an enormous and varied wealth of knowledge and capability within our wider team of Vets and Nurses, who have more than 250 years of clinical experience between them. We have people who have been providing veterinary care for over 30 years, as well as several certificate holders in a variety of disciplines.
