Highgate Veterinary Clinic is centred in Kendal on the edge of the Lake District, and offers a friendly, personal and professional service to the local area. In 1949, Mr John Geary established the clinic as a single vet practice but now we have six vets and six support staff.

Being in a rural location, we have a wide variety of patients. Fifty per cent of our time is spent treating peoples’ pet dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, pigs and alpacas and the rest on farm animals.

We have 140 farm clients who we help by constructing health plans to ensure animal health and welfare, treating sick animals, and running training courses for farmers.

Similarly, we help our equine clients to keep their horses and ponies healthy by advising them on disease prevention.

Although all the vets are involved in treating all species, they each have areas of special interest and expertise
