Husband and wife team, Chris and Sam Devlin are passionate about providing the best possible care not only for pets, but their owners too. They say it’s all about building those special relationships throughout the lifetime of your pet.

“We established Vetsmiths with our fantastic team to give our clients and their animals the best experience. We’ve lived in the area for many years, and wanted a vet that looks after the pets and supports the families of our local community,” says Chris Devlin BVSc MRCVS, director and vet at Vetsmiths.

Chris and Sam believe that being independent is the only way to meet the inevitably high standards that pet owners want. Clients will see the same vet, making sure you get the right amount of time with them on each and every visit.

The premises (previously the doctors’ surgery and then job centre) are undergoing a complete refurbishment and state of the art fit-out. There will be separate waiting areas for dogs and cats/rabbits, as well as separate kennelling facilities. Careful attention has been paid to provide the best kennels – no bars in sight. The units are made up using toughened glass instead of stainless steel, creating a warm and quiet environment to improve and speed recovery.

You can find Vetsmiths at 14 West Borough, Wimborne BH21 1NF with ample client parking and disabled access to the rear (entrance opposite The Olive Branch).
