About

The Practice

Arc Vets is an independent veterinary practice established by Rich in 2011.  We are not part of a corporate group or franchise and this provides us the freedom to operate the practice with our patients as top priority.  We strongly believe that by placing the patient as top prioritiy, making a living will inevitably follow.

 

The premises have been converted to the highest standards with digital radiography, ultrasound, keyhole laparoscopy. Hygienic safety flooring, separate (walk-in) dog & cat kennels and dedicated sterile operating theatre.

Situated 50 yards from the steps to the Muswell Hill Parkland Walk - it's less like going to the vets and more like going for a nice walk! Plus we have free of charge private parking right in front of the practice door.

Arc Vets work closely with the charities All Dogs Matter & Cats Protection, providing them with veterinary care including neuterings and non-routine surgical operations.
