About us
Your farm vets in the South East and North Yorkshire
Based in Ashford, Chelmsford, Winchester and York, Westpoint Farm Vets has been providing a livestock-focused service to farm clients across North Yorkshire, Hampshire, Kent and Essex since 2000.
We’re a multidisciplinary team of vets and technicians, and work proactively with commercial livestock keepers to improve productivity of herds and flocks while maintaining health and welfare.
We also cater to the needs of smallholdings, open farms and owners of companion farm animals. In 2018, we joined VetPartners, expanding our network of experienced farm clinicians.
We maintain a regular presence in farming media, providing informative articles to publications as well as attending international veterinary conferences to deliver teaching, workshops and research findings.
As a successful trainer of future generations of farm vets, we also continue to instil enthusiasm for farm animal medicine to veterinary students.

Our vision
We collaborate to provide the highest standards of proactive care to support animal health, success and sustainability for the farming community.
Dedicated services
Our PRO: teams expand our reach across the country, with our vets dedicated to high-level health planning and proactive healthcare in dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and camelids.
Our PRO: services work with clients to perform in-depth investigation, and advise on husbandry and management, data capture and analysis and disease management and prevention strategies.
Our clients can save on labour costs and take the stress out of husbandry tasks through our tech services, which include freeze branding, faecal sampling, egg counting and parasite treatments, calf scoring, environmental and housing assessments.
How we work
Most routine work is arranged by appointment, while we also offer a 24-hour emergency service.
Our dispensing of medicines also offers value and convenience, as orders can be made online through Farmacy.co.uk or through our branches.
Existing clients can benefit from Farmacy.co.uk, as prescription requests are sent directly to the vets, who may approve remotely if appropriate.
Our clients also have access to Farm Supplies, which is based at our Ashford practice for all their non-medical farm equipment.
