Our entire team is dedicated to providing outstanding care and we liaise closely with our referring vets before, during and after treatment.
Our history
Eastcott Vets has been part of the Swindon community for more than 50 years. We started as a small animal practice with three employees on Eastcott Hill in the 1960’s, hence the name.
In 1997 we moved from Eastcott Hill to Bath Road. This coincided with the practice being accredited with the status of Veterinary Hospital – the highest accreditation for a small animal veterinary practice.
In 2001 we were the winner of the national Petplan Veterinary Practice of the Year award which was recognition of how far the practice had come. In 2011 the practice moved into our new hospital building here at Edison Park, where we continue to invest in our state-of-the-art facilities.
In 2012 we again won the UK Veterinary Practice of the Year award and the Petplan Veterinary Practice of the Year award. We are the only practice in the country to have won this prestigious award twice!
2014 saw us being recognised as an ISFM Cat Friendly Practice and in 2018 we became part of Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd.
Most recently, in September 2020, we completed a £3m extension and refurbishment of our hospital making it one of the top facilities in the UK. We now employ more than 150 associates and continue to expand our team, providing strength-in-depth across all our services.
