"As specialists in exotic pets and being an owner of a bearded dragon, I have been going to the Emsworth surgery for the past nine years doing a 60 mile round trip each time. I have total confidence in the vets and the reception staff are excellent."

"Fantastic vets for both exotic and common animals. Caring, sympathetic and reasonable rates for consultations and procedures. I trust them with all of our animals."

Downland Veterinary Group started in Chichester in 1946. Initially concentrating on farm work, the practice expanded to Emsworth in the 1970s to open a small animal clinic and covered a whole range of farm, equine and companion animal work. As the veterinary profession changed, the practice has stayed at the forefront of medicine and surgery and over the last two decades, we have concentrated solely on small animal work. Today we have twelve vet practices covering Hampshire and West Sussex, offering the highest quality care for the region's pets.

What can you expect from us?

Delivering a first class service is our priority at Downland Veterinary Group. We take great pride in the investment in facilities that we have at our clinics, but appreciate that the most important thing we offer is the quality of our staff. Our vets, nurses and receptionists are here to care for both you and your pets and offer you the best possible service.

We ensure that our staff engage in regular training to keep up to date with the latest development in veterinary medicine and place a high emphasis on customer care. Many of our staff have been with the group for many years and we are fortunate to be able to offer you a consistent service with faces that you get to know and hopefully build trusting relationships with.

You can also expect to find a group of veterinary clinics that provide their own 24-hour emergency service. We recognise that the time you need us most is when you have an emergency situation. We do not pay other practices to do this work for us, instead we choose to make sure that we provide our own out-of-hours care so that when you need us, you know where to go.
