Published on: Sep 23, 2018

Shepton Vets open their first new branch practice in Wells this autumn, after 5 years of planning.  

The companion animal side of the practice has been growing steadily and increased from 3 to 8 vets in the last 10 years; they see the new branch as an opportunity to meet the growing needs of Wells, Shepton Mallet and surrounding villages.  

Wells Vets located at Cathedral Park behind Premier Inn, already has strong ties to the community, as the main team members have grown up in or around Wells and all attended the local Wells Blue School. The team have been involved at each stage of the design of the new purpose built site and are looking forward to building on their community links.  

Director and small animal vet Martin Law says ‘The whole team are really excited about opening the Wells branch. I grew up in Wells and it’s always been an ambition of mine to run my own practice in the City.  It’s fantastic to have such talented colleagues that have also grown up in  the area and feel as passionately about working in the community as I do’. 

Vet Josh White says ‘Having the opportunity to help run such a new practice where I grew up is something I’m extremely looking forward to. I’m sure there will be many familiar faces, and probably some I haven’t seen since school!’ 

The new practice will be the first purpose build vets surgery in Wells. With 96 years of experience in providing veterinary care in Mendip, the team are committed to providing the highest clinical standards and continuity of care to all clients. The out of hour’s emergency service will be shared with the team at Shepton, providing a comprehensive first opinion service for small animals clients. The practices has developed services such as key hole spays, health plans to spread the cost of routine healthcare and feline friendly status to meet the needs of it’s clients and will continue to invest in new services for the benefit of it’s patients.  The team across both practices have expertise in all areas of feline, canine and exotics work, with two team members currently studying for their advanced certificates in Medicine and Surgery. 

The new practice is undergoing its final fixtures and fittings, with a planned opening date for early October. The practice will be announcing a date for their open day shortly and look forward to welcoming the community to have a look inside the new practice.
