Highgate Vets is a small animal first-opinion practice located in Kendal, on the southern edge of the stunning Lake District. We operate across two branches, with our main surgery focusing on emergency cases and comprehensive workups, while our branch emphasises preventative medicine. Our clinical staff rotate between both locations. As a close-knit team, we prioritise supporting one another and fostering a collaborative learning environment where everyone can thrive. We were proud to be named one of the top three finalists in the 2021 Pet Plan Practice of the Year awards.
