About Us

Blacks Vets is a proudly award-winning practice, independently voted twice as Best UK Vet, Practice of the Year, and winner of the RCVS Wellbeing and Client Service Award. We were also recognised as Best Place to Work and featured on Channel 4’s The Interview and BBC2’s Me and My Dog.

With over 50 years’ experience, we are family vets for family pets — big enough to offer exceptional facilities and expertise, yet small enough to care deeply for our clients and team members as individuals.

As part of Linnaeus, we are committed to supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of all associates, with trained Mental Health First Aiders and a confidential Employee Assistance Programme available to everyone.
