Vets for Pets Farnham is a well-established and profitable first-opinion practice. Purpose built 10 years ago, it has been well maintained and developed over the years and has a great reputation locally, with a large and loyal client base, many of whom have been with the practice from day one, and new clients are joining based on recommendations. Currently attracting over 350 visits per week, and with consistent growth of approximately 20 new client registrations (NCR) per week, there is scope to increase and further develop the practice and its offering.

Vets for Pets Farnham is a modern, spacious (4,009 sq. ft.) in-store practice that has expanded from three consult rooms to a large practice, positioned over two floors. There is also further potential to adapt the space downstairs to accommodate the specific interests of a new partner(s).

The first floor houses seven consult rooms, two operating theatres, one prep area with two workstations, one of which is a dental workspace, a large pharmacy, cat and dog wards and a generous reception area, with designated cat and dog waiting areas.

The ground floor has an exceptionally large consult room, isolation ward, a colleague room/kitchen, a dedicated office, a second laundry/prep area and toilet and shower facilities for practice colleagues. There is an abundance of storage across both floors and additional polyvalent space on the ground floor, that could be used for a range of additional clinical services, allowing the opportunity to grow the business further and tailor to specific interests.
