About us:

With more than 440 small animal practices across the country, of all shapes and sizes, Vets for Pets is one of the largest UK veterinary groups and offers Veterinary Surgeons a range of opportunities, including the opportunity to run your own practice. However, what really makes vets for pets a unique opportunity is that it is run locally, providing our local teams the time and opportunity to support their local community. This means you to join a team that can support your individual needs while offering you a bespoke introduction to the practice, local community and caring for our patients!

The practice is independently run, by Dan our Practice Owner, supported by a fantastic team, who are committed to delivering an outstanding level of service in the community and through this they have enabled a real "proud to be part of the team" work ethos. The team are supportive and really like to push each other to achieve their career goals, so as you would expect CPD, and certificates are highly encouraged.

In practice we carry out both routine and non-routine surgical procedures including orthopaedics and most soft tissue surgery; examples include thyroidectomy, reconstructive surgery, anal gland removal and cystotomy. We also have a dedicated in-house lab, digital x-ray machine, dental machine, and ultrasound machine.

Middleton is located on the North side of Manchester only 30 minutes outside of the city centre and is easily accessible via buses and trains to Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Manchester so is perfect for people wanting access to city living without the cost! However, if the countryside is your way of relaxing, then the nearby Heaton Park and Alkrington Nature Reserve are under 10 minutes from the practice. For commuting routes, the practice is also under 10 minutes from the M60 which provides the ideal commuting journey for those coming from further afield.
