About Us
Animal Trust Vets is a veterinary Community Interest Company with a clear purpose: to make trusted veterinary care easy to access – so pets and people live happier, healthier lives.
We provide Everyday Vet Care, emergency services, and advanced treatment and accept referrals through a growing network of practices and hospitals, now caring for almost 10,000 pets every week.
A Different Kind of Veterinary Organisation
Animal Trust was founded by veterinary surgeon Owen Monie to offer pet owners a different approach to veterinary care, guided by his belief that quality care should be accessible to all. As a Community Interest Company, we reinvest most of our income in our services, facilities and teams. We are not a charity, we are independent, self-funding and open to everyone. There are no eligibility criteria to register, and everyone is welcome.

Our People
Our vets, nurses and support teams are what make our practices special, they keep pets’ welfare central to everything we do, caring for pets throughout their lives, from preventive healthcare and routine treatment to emergencies, surgery and complex medical care.
Every year we invest hundreds of thousands of pounds in the development of our teams, clinical equipment and facilities so they can provide effective and compassionate care.
We also invest in technology and online services that make it easier for clients to access and manage their pet's care. Clients can book appointments and order repeat medication online, while check-in kiosks, help visits run more smoothly. By simplifying routine processes, these services improve convenience for clients, give our teams more time to focus on care and help us keep veterinary care affordable.
Quality of Care & Accreditations
High-quality care is fundamental to our purpose. Our established practices participate in the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme and are accredited at General Practice, Veterinary Hospital or Emergency Service level according to the services they provide. Our newer practices are working through the accreditation process.
Our dedicated Quality and Compliance team supports consistent standards across Animal Trust through regular audits, practical guidance and continuous improvement.
A clinical board made up of practising vets and nurses provides professional oversight and helps shape how care is delivered across our organisation. In 2025, our work was also recognised with a national award for responsible antibiotic prescribing.
Mission Statement
Since we’re not a charity, but a self funding not for profit, everyone is welcome to register.
We believe every pet should have access to safe, high-quality veterinary care when they need it. As a Community Interest Company, we continually invest in our people and services so we can offer pet owners clear treatment choices at fair prices, helping pets get the care they need.
