Nantwich Farm Vets

What Nantwich Farm Vets does

Nantwich Farm Vets, trading as Nantwich Pet Vets, is a multi-disciplinary small animal veterinary referral hospital headquartered in Nantwich, Cheshire, in the North West of England. The practice operates three physical sites: a purpose-built referral hospital in Nantwich and branch surgeries in Crewe and Market Drayton. The hospital is equipped with on-site diagnostic infrastructure including a CT scanner, an in-house laboratory, endoscopy and arthroscopy capability, and a mobile MRI scanner that visits weekly. It also operates a Cat Friendly Clinic with separate cat and dog floors, dedicated kennels, consult rooms, theatres, and waiting areas. A 24-hour emergency and inpatient care service is staffed by the practice's own team 365 days a year, and the practice offers extended appointment hours including late evenings and weekends.

The clinical team comprises RCVS-recognised Veterinary Surgeons holding certificates or diplomas in Small Animal Surgery, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Orthopaedics, Small Animal Medicine, and Soft Tissue Surgery. The service portfolio spans general practice (consultations, dentistry, imaging, vaccinations, surgery, nurse clinics, second opinions) and specialist referral services (orthopaedic and spinal surgery, ophthalmology, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, cardiorespiratory). Revenue is generated through per-consultation and per-procedure professional fees, referral fees from other veterinary practices, diagnostic imaging, and a subscription-based Pet Healthcare Plan for preventative care. The primary customer segment is individual pet owners across Cheshire, the Midlands, Wales, and Northern England; a secondary segment comprises other veterinary practices referring complex cases.

In 2021 Medivet joined the existing Nantwich Pet Vets partnership as a strategic partner and parent entity, while the original partners and management team retained operational autonomy. The practice has no disclosed funding rounds, no patents, no application, and no publicly available pricing.
