About us
Kingston Vets has always strived for the highest in client and animal care.
The Kingston Veterinary Group has a wide client base of small animal, farm, and equine clients in both Somerset and Dorset. Over the years, the practice has expanded with a small animal surgery in Yeovil and equine branches located in Longburton and Buckhorn Weston.
We pride our culture on being open and honest, we listen and share ideas and suggestions within the team, we celebrate successes inside and outside of work, and most importantly we are committed to offering development and training to each individual within our team to encourage self-development and future opportunity within the business.
In October 2018 the practice started its daily running under the management of IVC Evidensia.
Lovely vets. My dog has, unfortunately, needed a lot of various treatments over the last few years and I have been completely happy each and every time. All the staff are very friendly, helpful, kind, considerate and knowledgeable. I feel confident that the care they give my dog is as good as I could ever hope for – Jan E – Google Review
