At Nightingale Vets, we're an independent practice born from a lifetime ambition to create a veterinary team at the beating heart of our community. This independence means we can focus on what truly matters: providing nose-to-tail support for our patients, our clients, and our incredible team.

"Our vision is to provide outstanding care for pets by empowering their owners and supporting our veterinary team. This can only be achieved in a setting which prioritises trust, communication, empathy and emotional support for everyone involved."
– Dr. Emily Nightingale, Founder

Why you'll love working with ws

Our ethos is simple: the happiness of our team is fundamental to everything we do. We believe that when our team is happy, supported, and fulfilled, we can provide the exceptional care our patients and clients deserve.

Kindness is our core qualification: The most important thing to us is that our team are kind and lovely people. If you have an A* qualification in being kind — to yourself, to your colleagues, and to our clients — then you are our kind of person.
A small practice with a big impact: In just 20 months, we've welcomed over 1400 patients and earned more than 260 5-star reviews. We have big plans for the future and want our team to grow with us.
Build relationships that matter: Our personal touch is why clients will happily travel over an hour to see us. We champion continuity of care, giving you the time and freedom to build lasting, trust-based relationships with the families you support.
We're invested in your perfect day: We genuinely want you to love working with us. From fun socials and staff goodies to a supportive environment that helps you achieve your professional goals, we do everything we can to make sure you feel valued, heard, and happy.
