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.

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.

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!
