Be part of a warm, supportive team that enjoys working together every day

Practise quality medicine in a welcoming, modern practice clients love

Make the most of Stratford-upon-Avon life, with countryside on your doorstep

Picture a veterinary practice where colleagues share a cuppa in the garden, every client and patient is made to feel welcome and quality veterinary care comes first. You'll join a friendly, supportive team that backs your clinical interests and gives you real room to grow, then step out into a historic market town where theatre, cafés and open countryside are part of everyday life.

About us

The Ark Veterinary Practice is a friendly, welcoming first opinion practice in Stratford-upon-Avon, with a strong local reputation for high-quality small animal care and the kind of client relationships that last. We're a proud member of the VetPartners family. Our recent refurbishment has created a modern, welcoming environment, including dedicated cat waiting space and a quiet cat ward.

Team culture matters a great deal to us. Our colleagues enjoy each other's company, whether that's over a cuppa in our landscaped gardens or tending our fruit and vegetable patch. We're proud supporters of our local community too, sponsoring local teams and events and working with local schools. We hold Silver ISFM Cat Friendly status, Dogs Trust Dog Friendly status and RCVS Practice Standards Accreditation.

Lovely clean waiting room with friendly and professional reception staff. We were seen on time by Zuzanna, supported by Emma. Both were very attentive, kind and gentle with our dogs, one of which is quite timid in the veterinary environment. We would highly recommend this veterinary practice. - Louise Hill - Google Review
