We are RCVS Accredited!

We are excited to announce that Highgate Vet is an approved member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme.

This is a voluntary scheme aiming to promote and maintain the highest standards of veterinary care regulated by the governing body of the veterinary profession.

As an accredited practice, we have passed an inspection focusing on a range of areas, including clinical governance, hygiene, staff training, customer services and the facilities and equipment we provide plus many more.

The practice will be re-inspected every four years and will be subject to spot-checks in the meantime to ensure we are keeping up with our high standards.

RCVS accreditation means that as a client you can rest assured that our practice is committed to offering the highest quality of care both directly to our clients and behind the scenes too.

Rex, Chris and Veronica moved to Highgate as they were walking distance and Rex (12 years old Golden retriever) had a terminal prognosis due to Laryngeal Paralysis. Bridget and team has comforted us, done some palliative surgery and treatment to keep Rex as comfortable as possible so we could all enjoy his last days as best possible. Apart from the necessary surgery costs, Bridget and team has taken an almost daily interest in Rex and never charged for additional consultation, phone calls, advice. We will never forget the kindness shown. Rex is still hanging on and sometimes makes a b-line to Highgate if at all possible. Lots of love and gratitude. 😍🐕

I registered my spaniel at Highgate vets a few months ago. She has a fear of going to the vets so started taking her for social visits. The staff are kind and caring, they have done their best to try and help my dog overcome her fears. When she went in to be spayed I was confident she would be well looked after, which she was. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came down to visit my mum in Swavesey and unfortunately, it very quickly became obvious that my fifteen year old border terrier cross was very poorly. He was struggling to bear any weight on his back legs, was very shakey and generally weak. He wasn’t eating and barely drinking either. I honestly feared the worst. A friend of my mum’s said she had heard good things about Highgate, so I phoned them first thing in the morning. They offered an appointment within the hour and I took him along. From start to finish they treated our dog with so much love and care. He stayed there for the full day, undergoing various tests and receiving treatment. I was kept updated throughout from Bridget (vet) herself, which really helped lessen my worry. She explained everything in detail, including the cost involved at each stage. Thankfully, our lovely boy responded to treatment and is now almost back to his old self again. I really cannot thank the team at Highgate enough, as I honestly thought he wasn’t going to make it. Bridget has given lots of advice about his general health and how we can best look after him in his senior years. I would thoroughly recommend bringing your pet here - they are lovely people and are incredibly skilled at what they do.

Fantastic caring service from Highgate Veterinary Clinic. Our elderly Westie Lottie was terrified of vet visits throughout her life until she attended Highgate, from the first time she visited she remained calm. Huge thanks to Bridget and the whole team for your excellent and compassionate care looking after Lottie, accommodating emergency appointments when she was unwell and for looking after us when it was time to say goodbye. I highly recommend Highgate Veterinary Clinic.

The saddest decision for any caring animal owner is to have their pet put to sleep - which is exactly what we had to do last week with our beloved G S x mountain dog Rosco of thirteen years. We are so grateful and would like to thank Bridget for coming to the house, along with Eloise and putting our beautiful Rosco to sleep. We were devastated, but your kind and caring manner helped us through a sad time and Rosco crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge so peacefully and dignified on the lawn in the sunshine after a very long, happy and healthy life. Thankyou so very much. Richard and Pat
