We’d love you to join our family

About Us

We are a two vet team (Katy and Jim) who worked together way back in 2011. We started off as colleagues but soon became good friends.

Since then we have worked in various practices within the area but wanted to deliver a higher quality, more personal service than we were able to. In 2021 we decided to see whether we might be able to do better!

Dumbledore Vets opened its doors in November 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 vets with varied clinical backgrounds. This independence allows us freedom to make decisions about what matters most to us in terms of the quality of service that we feel you deserve.

  • Empathy

    We are human and understand that taking your pet to the vet can be stressful for both of you. We welcome you to our Dumbledore Vets family and promise to treat both yourself and your pet with empathy.

  • Personal

    We want to build strong, long-lasting relationships and will always do our best to greet you personally. We promise to deliver the service and treatment that you and your pet need.
