About Us

Launched by FIVP in 2017, IndependentVets.co.uk is an online, interactive database of independent veterinary practices across the United Kingdom. It is designed to make it easier than ever for pet owners to find a local independent practice and book their first appointment.

The independent practices listed are those where the owner regularly works within the practice and plays a significant role in its day-to-day activities.

Simply enter your location in the search bar and we will find the independent practices which are local to you.

About FIVP

The Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices (FIVP) is a not-for-profit organisation that represents the interests and promotes the values of independent veterinary practices.

It was founded in 2016 by a passionate team who wanted an association that would represent independent practices on a national scale. FIVP seeks to secure a future for independents and create a community where practices can network and develop together.

Membership is practice-based and open to all independent veterinary practices in the UK.
