Falkland Veterinary Clinic

What Falkland Veterinary Clinic does

Falkland Veterinary Centre is a single-site small animal veterinary practice located in Newbury, Berkshire, UK, established in 1989 and operated as a trading name of CVS (UK) Limited (company registration 03777473), a UK-registered private company that controls a network of over 500 veterinary practices. The practice delivers primary care services for companion animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, and exotic pets) including consultations, surgery, vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, parasite control, blood pressure checks, six-month health checks, grooming and nail clipping, nurse consultations, pet travel documentation, anal sac expression, and home visits. Specialist offerings include therapeutic laser therapy for pain management and rehabilitation, plus exotics care. Out-of-hours emergency cover is provided in-house until 7:00 pm at weekends and from 7:30 am mornings, with overnight cases transferred to partner sites (Mildmay Veterinary Hospital in Winchester and Vets Now in Reading).

The practice is staffed by 26 team members, comprising 11 MRCVS-qualified veterinary surgeons and 13 RVN-registered veterinary nurses alongside support staff. It operates as an approved training centre for veterinary nurses and a partner practice for Surrey University's final-year veterinary student programme. Falkland holds RCVS General Practice accreditation plus three species-specific certifications: Cat Friendly Clinic Silver (ISFM), Rabbit Friendly Clinic Silver (RWAF), and Dog Friendly Clinic (Dogs Trust).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model, accepting new patient registrations, walk-in emergencies, and appointments booked by phone or via the CVS Vets website. Revenue is generated through two streams: fee-for-service professional services (consultations, procedures, vaccinations, surgeries, and therapeutic treatments) and a recurring subscription programme called The Healthy Pet Club, which offers discounted preventive care (vaccinations, parasite control, health checks) in exchange for monthly membership fees. Marketing and distribution are conducted primarily through the CVS Vets corporate website, the membership programme, and the practice's local accessibility features (disabled access and on-site parking). Falkland does not disclose pricing publicly; price points are available on request via the practice's pricing page. The parent CVS (UK) Limited provides brand standards, regulatory backing, and network scale, while the practice retains local service delivery.
