Why choose Animal Trust?

Why choose Animal Trust?

At Animal Trust, we’re not just another veterinary group — we’re a vet-led, not-for-profit Community Interest Company with a clear purpose: making veterinary care easy to access. We believe every pet deserves access to high-quality, trusted veterinary care, regardless of their owner’s financial circumstances. That’s why we offer affordable pricing without sales targets — the right care, at the right cost.

  • No Sales Targets: Our focus is on care, not upselling.
  • Varied Caseloads: From routine checks to complex cases, with a strong bias towards sick pets.
  • Career Choice: Work in general practice, emergency A&E, or referral care, the choice is yours.
  • Modern Facilities: Digital and dental imaging, CT scanning, in-house labs, and fully equipped surgical theatres.
  • Collaborative Culture: Your voice matters. We value your clinical expertise and foster a supportive team environment.
  • Wellbeing First: A benefits package designed to support your health and wellbeing.
  • Grow With Us: CPD support and opportunities to specialise in areas that inspire you.
  • Locations to Suit You: Choose from practices across Northern England, Wales, and Scotland.
