We are a small, friendly, independent veterinary practice providing equine and small animal care, based in Flawith, near Easingwold,
North Yorkshire. We cover a large area around our practice for visits and have excellent inpatient facilities at the surgery.
Our services include consultations and visits, including equine zone visits, equine and small animal health schemes, full surgical and inpatient facilities including stables, radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, gastroscopy, dentistry, surgery, vettings (pre-purchase examinations) and second opinions.
We have 13 staff in total, including 7 vets, and we also provide 24-hour emergency cover, so we are here for you
when you need us the most. The Practice is owned by experienced vets, Malcolm and Joyce Whitehead.

We are excited to announce we are expanding the surgery! We have plans to extend the building to add another consultation room, increase the size of our waiting room, make more office space for our expanding staff numbers, and give the whole space a re-vamp. We hope the new improvements will mean we can offer more appointments with a wider range of times available, and improve facilities for our clients and patients.
This does, however, mean there will be some disruption over the next few months. We will be moving our small animal consultations into our barn space behind the main building from mid-October onwards. Don’t worry - we have a dedicated room available and will make this area fully serviceable with all our usual equipment, computers and of course heating, as well as free tea and coffee to help keep you warm!
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate routine equine work at the practice (such as lameness work ups, scopes, etc.) from October onwards. We will, however, have arrangements in place to carry out more of our routine work on yard, making more staff and time available to do this.
Parking will not be available at the front of the practice from October onwards, and we kindly ask that clients park on the road in the village, being considerate of other properties and driveways. If you have any concerns regards accessibility, please do contact the practice in advance of your appointment and we will be happy to assist. Please note toilet facilities will also be unavailable from mid-October onwards.
We ask that you help us by allowing more time to order routine prescriptions (48 hours minimum). Please be aware you may have to ring for attention as our temporary reception may not be manned all day. If requested, medications can be left safe in our collection box (near the bottom of the drive) for pick-up at your convenience. We may ask that payments are made via online transfer or over the phone, although we will have card payment facilities available.
Whenever possible, please book any routine appointments or operations in plenty of time.
We’re pleased to say our out of hours provision will be unaffected, and we continue to be available to our clients 24/7, 365 days a year.
Please bear with us throughout these next few months. We promise when it is all done it will be better than ever!
