About Us

Lynton Vets Addlestone, is situated in Surrey. One of the most important things to us here at Lynton is our history and local “Village Vet” reputa-tion for providing the highest level of service and value for all our clients.

Established over 60 years ago, we are a small animal practice and as part of our ongoing commitment to improving our facilities we are continuing to refurb and equip out all three of our practices to the same high standard.

We are also continually updating and growing our range of equipment.
As a practice we endeavour to set high standards and keep up with new developments to give the best possible patient care and excellent service to our clients, with this in mind we have also achieved our Silver Cat-Friendly status at our main branch.

About the Team and Culture

Our 7 Veterinary Surgeons are supported by a great team of 12 Regis-tered Veterinary Nurses, 2 Student Veterinary Nurses and experienced Receptionists across the Group. We have a family-like culture in practice and have embedded a true support and encourage ethos amongst the team.  Each practice has an essential SOS chocolate station and we are never short of cake with some excellent bakers across the group!

The mental and physical well-being of the team is paramount to us - we like to show our support both in-house and externally by taking part in charity events such as "Ride for Dementia" and "Relay for Life" in aid of cancer research.
