We’d love you to join our family

About Us

We are a vet (Katy) and vet nurse (Leanne) team, who worked together way back in 2011. We started off as colleagues but soon became great friends, in fact, we were both expecting our first daughters at the same time, who ended up being born just three days apart!

Since then we have worked in various practices within the area but always wanted to deliver a higher quality, more personal service than we were able to. In 2021 over a cuppa whilst watching our six combined children play we decided to see whether we might be able to do better!

Dumbledore Vets opened its doors in 2022 with the aim of building a community of likeminded pet owners who are looking for a personal service with a strong focus on patient experience and continuity of care for you and your pet.

Our Values

  • Independence

    Dumbledore Vets is completely independent, owned by two families. This independence allows us to spend more time with each client and deliver the quality of service we feel you deserve.

  • Empathy

    We are human and understand that taking your pet to the vet can be stressful for both of you. At Dumbledore Vets we would like to become an extension of your family and promise to treat both yourself and your furry family member with empathy.

  • Personal

    We want relationships and will do our best to greet you personally. We promise to deliver the service and treatment that you and your furry family member need.
