About Us
Our Animal Trust teams are what make our practices and hospitals special. They are dedicated to our mission to provide access to affordable, compassionate, and quality care. Putting pets before profit.
Located across thirteen practices, including three hospitals, we offer pet owners an alternative if they are finding the cost of their veterinary care unaffordable. By reinvesting most of our profit back into the company, we can provide quality services and treatment for a fair price.
We are transparent with the cost of any procedure or treatment and display our prices on our website. We aim to provide affordable care when it matters most - when your pet is sick or injured.
Animal Trust is a not-for-profit veterinary company
Across our network of surgeries, we now care for nearly 100,000 pets a year whose owners want safe, honest and affordable vet care for their pets when they are unwell. We'll advise you on the suitable options for your pet, give you treatment choices that fit with your preferences, and respect your financial situation. We believe we can deliver care that works for everyone — whether a simple, pragmatic option or an advanced and involved treatment. While treatment at Animal Trust can help your budget, our care is far from basic. We have over a decade of experience providing full-service veterinary care, covering everything from day-to-day general practice care to Pet A&E hospital services and advanced complex care. Every year, we reinvest hundreds of thousands of pounds in equipment and advancing our team.
We are open to everyone; there are no eligibility criteria at all. We are not a charity but a community-interest company funded by the fair fees we charge our clients.
We believe in a pricing structure that removes barriers to owners giving their pets the veterinary care they need because we simply believe that every animal deserves access to safe veterinary care as soon as it becomes ill. That's why our pricing differs from that of many vets. From free consultations to fixed-cost treatment or help if your pet has a complication after surgery, we want to support you along your pet's journey to health. We hope you'll find our approach to veterinary care refreshing, and we look forward to you and your pets joining our community.
Quality of Care
At Animal Trust, high-quality care is central to our mission. We believe affordable veterinary care should never mean lower standards. In 2025, our work was recognised with a national award for responsible antibiotic prescribing. All our clinics are part of the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme, operating above general practice level, with several accredited as Hospitals or Emergency Service Care providers.
To ensure consistent, high standards across all our practices, we’ve developed a dedicated Quality and Compliance function. Our in-house team supports day-to-day compliance, drives improvements, and carries out regular audits. We’re also guided by a clinical board made up of vets and nurses from the front line, who provide valuable input and oversight. Alongside this, we invest in smart technology, such as online registration and check-in, to keep our services running smoothly, safely, and with added convenience for clients.
Mission Statement
Since we’re not a charity, but a self funding not for profit, everyone is welcome to register.
We are Animal Trust Vets. We believe in universal pet healthcare and work to help all the pets that need us. By offering sensible veterinary care options, we not only help clients who earn the real living wage to benefit from the joy of pet ownership, but we also help pets enjoy a life without the burden of treatable or preventable conditions.
