Swindon, Wiltshire
The Drove Veterinary Hospital has dedicated
small animal, farm and equine teams
serving Swindon and the surrounding area.
We provide all aspects of first opinion
and emergency healthcare, aided by
mobile ultrasound, endoscopy and digital
radiography facilities. Our in-house
laboratory allows us to offer a same day
results service for many tests.
The equine team, though small, prides itself
on giving a friendly and efficient service with
emphasis on client continuity. We look after
a mixture of hunters, competition and pleasure
horses and ponies from Shires to Shetlands
with a few donkeys as well.
We are happy to perform castrations and
other minor surgical procedures either under
standing sedation or in-field anaesthesia.
Client evenings and newsletters are part of
our continuing client education programme.

D.S. McGregor and Partners is an eleven vet mixed
practice covering Caithness and North Sutherland in
Scotland, working from centres in Thurso and Wick.
We offer a range of first opinion services to our
equine clients, consisting mainly of pleasure horses
and ponies. This includes routine work such as
vaccination, dentistry, passports, microchips and colt
castration, as well as providing 24 hour emergency
care. Most of our work is ambulatory and carried
out at clients' premises but we can use our mobile
x-ray and ultrasound units at the practice buildings
should this prove easier.
Several of our vets are enthusiastic horse owners
and are familiar faces in the local equine
community. We pride ourselves in providing a
locally based, professional veterinary service that
seeks to safeguard animal health and welfare
within our community.
