Want to learn more about Highgate?

Highgate Vets is a first opinion small animal practice based in Kendal, on the Southern edge of the beautiful Lake District. We are a two-branch clinic with poorly pets and in-depth work ups at our main surgery, and a bias towards preventative medicine at our branch. All of the clinical staff rotate between the two. We are a tight-knit team that takes excellent care of each other. We have a range of experience, and all contribute towards a learning culture, helping each other to thrive. We were delighted to reach top 3 in the Pet Plan Practice of the Year awards in 2021.

Our two Kendal sites host an Idexx lab, multiparameter monitors, new ultrasound, digital X-ray including dental X-ray, drip pumps and more! Both are Practice Standard accredited RVN Training Practices with just one SVN per Clinical Coach at a time.
