• Digital x-ray (including dental) in a dedicated x-ray suite
• Separate theatre and dental rooms
• Endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery

About Us

Copeland Vets is a family-run, small animal practice based in the lovely town of Ingleby Barwick, Stockton-on-Tees, North Yorkshire.

The area offers great local amenities, with shops and a supermarket nearby, and is well-connected with excellent transport links via road, rail, and nearby airports. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the beautiful Cleveland Hills are just a short drive away.

We pride ourselves on providing a warm, welcoming environment for both our team and our clients - and we’re looking for someone who shares our commitment to high-quality care and teamwork.
