Dart Vale Veterinary Group

The practice started by servicing the farming community in the area around Totnes in the 1950’s. Derek Hair and Wilf Beaumont began their successful partnership with a practice in Castle Street, Totnes. The small animal work played a small part initially with operations taking place on Thursday evenings after the consults had finished. Michael Webster and Jim Goodwin joined the partnership as it expanded to five branches around South Devon. During the 1980’s the veterinary profession started to take small animal work seriously. In recent years we have seen rapid growth in all of our six practices and we have increased our vet numbers from six to fifteen. 2012 saw the opening of our new purpose built surgery in Totnes, including a large clinical care area with operating rooms, separate kennel rooms for cats and dogs, and even walk-in kennels for the bigger customers. The building houses our main offices, our control centre for our roving vets and a larger waiting room. Our Totnes site offers 24-hour nursing care for our inpatients.
