Why join us

Our practices in Hungerford and Pewsey have long been known for their exceptional quality and dedicated professionals. The first of our branches in Hungerford was established in 1976 by original owner Pip Pocock, whose commitment to excellence has been maintained to this day. This strength in our services can be reflected by our status as one of the first veterinary hospitals in the country to receive RCVS accreditation, a seal of quality which we’ve maintained for over 20 years.

Joining our team means becoming part of a supportive and collaborative environment where your dedication to animal care is truly valued.
