About us

Highgate Veterinary Clinic is a seven vet practice with the work split equally between farm and companion animals.

We believe in giving the best service we can and our highly motivated, friendly and specialised team deliver a modern and progressive service to our clients.

Dairy farms form the majority of our farm work, but we also work closely with our beef and sheep clients.

Vets in the practice take part in all aspects of our work; however we all have special clinical interests.

All vets and nurses attend regular training courses, enabling us to give the best treatment and latest advice. Click here for our veterinary team profiles.

Farm Services

We offer a range of services to our farm clients, and in recognition of the fact that all farms are different we offer a choice of ways to pay for services and medicines to suit individual requirements, see farm contracts for details.

Disease diagnosis and treatment

An obvious service but we pride ourselves in doing this well and giving the best treatment and advice based on financial and welfare considerations.

Herd & flock health planning

Not just an exercise in paperwork! We regularly review issues on farm and advise on solutions e.g. mastitis control. We use DairyCo Mastitis Control Plan, Sainsbury's herd health planning, and Mark is registered to use RDPE North West Livestock Programme which is a prerequisite for gaining certain grant funding.

Lameness

All our farm vets are interested in treating and preventing lameness in livestock.

Nutrition

We work closely with farm nutritionists and other advisors to keep cow health at an optimum.

Routine fertility visits

Charged at hourly rate, if fortnightly the visit charge is waived.

Semen testing

Bull and ram semen testing using electro-ejaculators

Professional Semex AI courses

Comprehensive 4-day training courses, scheduled to fit in around milking
