Welcome to Wick

Donald McGregor had been practicing from Thurso since 1965, when the opportunity came up to move into Wick, taking over the practice here from the retiring Mr Hamilton in 1983.

We were originally based in Robert Street and spent a spell in larger premises in Saltoun Street, before moving to our current purpose built premises on the Airport Industrial Estate in 2000.

From here we’re ideally placed to provide veterinary services to the eastern side of Caithness, and we have a dedicated team of vets, nurses and receptionists to provide services to both small and large animal clients.

We work closely with our colleagues in Thurso to provide the best service for our clients, with records available for access from both branches.

We’re proud to offer a family friendly service, with 15 minute consults for our small animal clients, dedicated large and small animal car parks, disabled access and a large stock of both large and small medicines available on site.

There’s also a well-equipped large animal assessment area allowing us to carry out consultations, lambing services, minor surgeries and hospitalisation of calves on site.

Putting the care
of your pet first

Proudly independent and locally managed, we’re free to take decisions in the best interests of our patients.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Highland Health Plan, which includes free vet and nurse consults for your beloved cats and dogs – just £24 a month for Unlimited members!

There’s also our Standard Highland Health Plan, which at £18 per month ensures annual routine preventative care as well as a range of further perks and offers.

Highland Healthcare Plan

Out and about in Wick

We’re proud to be based in the beautiful Highlands and passionate about the Wick community.

We work closely with local charities including providing care for the animals of KWK9 and Cats Protection, as well as sponsoring for local causes – such as Stormy and Steth and their “long row home” in 2024!

The next generation of vets and nurses is important to us, and we regularly take part in career events at Wick High School and local primary schools, as well as working closely with students completing their nursing qualifications at North Highland College.

You’ll often see us enjoying local agricultural shows such as Latheron, the Caithness Show and the Halkirk Highland Games, so give us a wave if you’re there this year!

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.

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.

Not only does it look great, inspired by our beautiful countryside and coastlines, but it makes it so much easier for you to engage with us as a practice.

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 ⭐
