CALWETON
VETERINARY GROUP
Callington, Cornwall
Calweton Veterinary Group is a progressive
mixed practice with dedicated equine, small
animal and farm teams covering East
Cornwall and West Devon.
As a first opinion practice we provide all
aspects of routine equine medical care
including examinations, vaccinations, worming
advice (and in-house Worm Egg Counts),
identichipping, lameness investigations, AI
and pre purchase examinations. We also run
a popular dental service with cases ranging
from routine dental care to dental radiography
and tooth extraction.
We regularly perform 'in field' surgical
anaesthesia for minor surgical procedures such
as colt castrations and in addition to our own
fully portable digital radiography unit we
offer a number of other services including
ultrasonography, heart monitoring and
endoscopy. Our vets also hold regular client
meetings and we provide quarterly newsletters.

The Alnorthumbria Veterinary Group equine
division has 5 dedicated equine vets and an
experienced nursing team providing 24 hour
diagnostic, surgical and hospital services out
of our new equine clinic at Fairmoor, Morpeth,
Northumberland, located close to the A1 with
easy access.
We are an RCVS tier 2 equine practice and a
nurses training practice. We strive to keep
improving our clinical standards by continued
education of our vets and nurses. This allows
us to provide the highest standard of veterinary
care for our patients.
We have regular clinics with specialised
surgeons and medicine specialists and liaise
closely with all farriers and physiotherapists in
the area. We provide veterinary cover at
Newcastle and Kelso racecourses, and are
also working as part of the veterinary team
at London 2012. We have a wealth of
experience in competition injuries, and pride
ourselves in the care of all horses, ponies
and donkeys.
