Harrison Family Vets

Harrison Family Vets is a growing group of independently owned practices, with an aim to provide care that pets themselves would choose. We have 3 generations of the Harrison Family working within our business and are run by people who still have a passion for veterinary practice with years of clinical and managerial experience under our belts. We have modern clinics designed to be pet and client centric and have taken the time to consider details which make a real difference to our pets, our clients, and our teams.

We truly believe in our purpose in providing quality, affordable veterinary care, delivered by team members who care. We want to do what is best for pets, not our pockets. Our principles of Quality, Integrity, Passion and Growth ensure that we are continually reminded of our goal to be the employer of choice, and the veterinary care provider of choice to our clients. Above all that, we are just people, and we like to think that we know people as well as we do pets.

We know that we can’t succeed in our goal without attracting the best people out there. We offer a great ethos, benefits package and salary, plus always try to add in as much fun along the way as we can. To date, this has meant swimming with Manatees in Florida’s Crystal River, visits to Disney’s magic Kingdom, sunset dinners on the French Riviera, summer BBQs with cocktail makers and silent discos, fairground rides and dodgy dancing at Xmas extravaganzas. Next stop Vegas for another slightly more exciting location for CPD.

To help succeed in our goal to make our clinics as pet centric as possible, all our team members are accredited, or working toward becoming ‘Fear Free’ accredited professionals. Fear Free is a recognised educational programme widely used in the USA used to train those who care for pets to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in our patients. Our clinics are filled with team members who truly want what is best for the pets, in the most accessible and affordable way, with no compromise in quality or care, and we are proud to say that our Reading and Kingswinford clinics are the only outside of North America to have practice Fear Free accreditation.

We have designed our reception spaces to be modern, spacious, and welcoming for both clients and pets, with individual waiting pods to provide privacy, and reduce stress which can come from pets being able to see each other in traditional waiting rooms. Each pod is fitted with a digital screen filled with interesting pet facts, and this design has meant that we have removed archaic reception desks, and our clinics really do feel different.

In a nutshell, our vision is to be the best 1^st opinion veterinary clinic we can be, with the best people on board, delivering quality and affordable care to our clients and their pets. (Whilst having as much fun along the way as possible)
