  • I’d like to extend a very warm Vetsure welcome to new Platinum member Thomas Rees, director of Selworthy Vets in south Devon.

    Selworthy Vets is a well established mixed practice in the beautiful area of Kingsbridge. The practice has grown significantly over the last few years, helped by a move to brand new, purpose built, eco-friendly premises. I…[Read more]

  • Congratulations to Vetsure member Aidan Borrill, Director of Ferndown Family Vets in Dorset, and his team, for winning Veterinary Edge Magazine’s New Build Award 2022!

    Our next careers fair is at Bristol Vet School on Friday 6th May. Please email me, sarah@vetsure.com, if you are looking to recruit a new grad or offer EMS placements to 4th year students.

  • I am absolutely delighted to announce that Vetsure won two awards at the prestigious Customer Service Excellence Awards in London last night. We won in the categories of ‘Retention and Loyalty’ and ‘Above and Beyond’! So proud of the team after what has been a very challenging couple of years.…[Read more]

    It’s great to see so many new members joining this group. Please do post questions if you’re looking for guidance on any part of setting up your practice. If you’re already open, let us know how your new practice is going – any tips you think would help those just starting the process, I know would be gratefully received. Have a good weekend. Sarah

    • Hi we’re just starting out and are getting a lot of calls about pricing that tend to go nowhere. is this a thing you all get?

    • Morning Ian, great question. I’ll contact a few practices this morning to see if they are experiencing the same. We have a number of new mobile practices who have opened recently who I am sure will be happy to reply. I expect you’re already doing this, but when people are calling, are you asking when boosters etc. are due? Great to keep a note of…[Read more]

    • thanks Sarah !

    • Hi Ian,
      We’re a mobile practice in Witney, Oxfordshire. We’ve had a few similar calls but nothing out of the ordinary – we would see this amount of calls for prices etc in a normal practice in the area. I think a lot of people want to know if we’re going to be cheaper or more expensive than their own vets.
      We’ve been giving out prices only for…[Read more]

  • A very busy day at Bristol vet school today! Lots of final year student contact details to share with our graduate friendly practices!

  • Did anyone else know today is #nationalgoldenretrieverday – one I wasn’t aware of. A good one for your social media! Get those goldie photos on your news feeds!

  • Norway ban breeding of English bulldogs & cavalier King Charles spaniels because of health issues – what are your thoughts? Intereting debate I was listening to on radio 2, Norwegian version of KC vs UK based English Bulldog breeder!

  • Reducing our environmental impact following the COP 26 summit. We’ve received several emails from members over the last few weeks for information about creating more environmentally friendly and ‘greener’/more sustainable practices. It will be a focus for the Vetsure team over the coming months to collate ideas and information about how to make…[Read more]

    • Hi Sarah, we’ve changed all our kennel beds to Tuffies mattresses instead of vet beds. Not only are they more comfortable for the patients, but it has also vastly reduced our washing and tumble drying – saved on time for the team too so win win! Would love to hear what others are doing.

    • What a fantastic idea @diane-storer and thank you for being the first contributor to what I hope will come an extensive document of ideas we can all start to implement to make a positive impact! Thank you so much.

  • We know that many corporates have closed sites over the last 18 months. But does anybody have any experience of what is happening to these sites? Are they leased to new vet practices? Are they leased to other businesses? Any insights appreciated.
