Company

We are a thriving and progressive 100% small animal practice based in Weymouth (2012 Olympic sailing venue!) with a branch surgery 8 miles away in the  beautiful county town of Dorchester.  We are a true family business with Dave & Kate Cumber as owner/directors and Malcolm Cumber as Practice Manager.  We are local and independent and have been vets in Weymouth and Dorchester for over 50 years.

In November 2016 we made the move into our new, purpose built, hospital standard surgery in Weymouth.  This surgery is the culmination of years of wishing and planning on Dave’s part and we are hugely proud  to say that it is now one of the best facilities in the county.

We are a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Practice.
