Northvet Veterinary Group offers a high quality Veterinary healthcare service to the animals of Orkney. We have 8 Veterinary Surgeons, 3 Veterinary Nurses, an Animal Nursing Assistant, a Practice Manager and seven Reception / Administration staff. We all regularly under-go training and Continuing Professional Development to ensure we provide the best possible care and advice for our clients.

With 3 branch surgeries in Orkney, Northvet covers all areas including the outer Isles. Our Kirkwall surgery is where the majority of our staff are based. This surgery has excellent facilities for diagnosis and treatment. Following flood damage in 2006 our surgery at 33 Junction Road is due to re-open, fully refurbished, in July 2009. At the moment you can find us at our temporary premises slightly further along Junction Road, opposite the Royal British Legion and beside the SEERAD car park.

Our large animal surgery in Harray operates from large purpose built premises. At this surgery we have also installed stocks where horses can be safely secured for examination and treatment.

Our third surgery in Stromness is open for small animal consultations three times per week. We don’t like to keep you waiting so both our Kirkwall and Stromness surgeries see animals by appointment.

All three of our surgeries have free parking on site.
We provide a 24 hour emergency service 365 days of the year. Out of office hours please call us as normal and our dedicated emergency team will respond immediately.
