We’re always here for you and your pets
We’re proud to care for the pets of Caithness and Sutherland.
Our practice has come a long way from the days when large animals were our focus, with pets seen in the evenings and surgery scheduled for one day a week.
While we still work hand in hand with local farms, we also provide comprehensive small animal veterinary care from our branches in Wick and Thurso.
We firmly believe in the value of preventative healthcare, diagnosing and treating problems as early as possible to ensure better outcomes.
That’s why we’re so happy with our Highland Health Plan. It includes unlimited vet and nurse consults for your beloved cats and dogs, meaning you can bring them to see us whenever you feel concerned, without worrying about the price of an appointment.
We also provide our own out of hours, meaning we’re here for you and your pet whenever you need us – 24/7, 365 days a year, in our normal premises. Just phone the usual number for your branch if you need us out of office hours.
Explore our website to book an appointment, request a repeat prescription or sign up to our Highland Health Plan – and we look forward to seeing you soon.


Experienced Mixed Veterinary Surgeon Opportunity (Wick)
Our independent and employee-owned practice is looking for an experienced mixed vet to join our team.
We’re idyllically located on the north east coast of the Highlands and offer a genuine mixed service, working for the people of our community to provide the very best care we can to pets, horses and farms.
Although the role can be flexible and individual interests pursued, a vet with an enthusiasm for farm animal work would be particularly suitable. We are a friendly and supportive team, share OOH (currently 1:5 with days off in lieu) and offer a competitive salary package.
For details of what we can offer you please visit our careers page: dsmcg.co.uk/careers/veterinary-surgeon-wick/
For an informal chat about the role or to talk about next steps, please contact Pete, either via phone on 01955 602088 or via email at jobs@dsmcg.co.uk. ... See MoreSee Less

January is nearly out of the way, which means our latest farmer’s meeting is coming up fast.
We invite our local farmers to an evening of friendly chat and farming insights on Thursday February 6th in the Park Hotel (Thurso), with the focus this month on calf health.
We see this as a perfect opportunity for a catch up with local farmers on a dark winter night – and there’ll be plenty of tea and coffee to keep us going!
This will be followed by talks from Boehringer and one of our vets.
It’s totally free and we’d love to see you there. RSVP now via dsmcg-calf-health-farmers-update.eventbrite.co.uk/ or email us at thurso@dsmcg.co.uk.

Whether you want to book an appointment, order repeat prescriptions, find out more about our services or sign up to our relaunched Highland Health Plan, our website is now the place to go.
We’d love to hear what you think, and if there’s anything else we could introduce to our website to make us easier to reach, please do let us know.
We hope you enjoy our new look!

looks good. was testing it and repeat prescriptions would not let you past 1st page. Sure only teething problems. Site will be very useful.
I just had a quick look, your Services for Sheep page is coming up with a 404 error. the cattle one looks good though.
Hi equine highland health plan on horse page and employee owned business on careers page links need attention. But looks great ⭐
