Portland Vets Crawley

21/07/2025

You’ve all been so patient with us, trusting the process so we could let the build team focus on the work, without us stumbling around trying to take pictures and videos for socials.

We hope it will be worth the wait, and we’re excited to finally be able to start sharing the inside of your new practice with you all.

Automated doors were at the top of our list during the design of the practice. Trying to negotiate doors with a cat carrier (or two, in many of our clients’ cases), an energetic dog, children, pushchairs, and often all three together - we knew this was something that would help make everyone’s lives just that little bit easier, especially for those with disabilities.

We are still accepting pre-registrations and we will soon be inviting clients to pre-book routine appointments.

To ensure you get the chance to book in early sign up today, link in the comments and in our bio.

Our June update is here!

It’s been a tense but exciting month as we hit a major construction milestone and prepare to welcome a new chapter in Portland Vets history.

The lift is now installed and internal fit-out is well underway. But what we’re most excited to share is this month’s big reveal: your new Crawley veterinary team.

From advanced surgery and exotic medicine to friendly, familiar faces from our East Grinstead practice, this is a team built to offer Crawley pet owners the very highest standard of care.

👥 Want to meet your new vets?

Our April update is here and it's a special one!

This month, our Marketing Manager Lucy finally set foot on the Portland Vets Crawley site for the very first time. From peaceful views to clever design touches, her tour of Crawley’s only independent veterinary practice was full of exciting first impressions.

We’d love it if you shared this with family, friends, and your local community. As Crawley’s only independent veterinary practice, we don’t have big advertising budgets, we’d rather invest in top-quality care and facilities for you and your pets.

That’s why your support and word of mouth mean the world to us 🙂

Unearthing the past, one fossil at a time - when construction meets prehistoric discovery! 🦕 A little secret from the foundation building days of Portland Vets Crawley, we found and excavated this "little" guy. He's now living quite a happy polished life up in the natural history museum in London after being transported from the building last year. 🦖

It’s all starting to feel real and our dream of opening a much needed independent veterinary practice in Crawley is taking shape!
