Say hello to Peggy! 💕🐾❤️🩹
She recently visited our Willow Grove branch for her post-op checkup following her spay surgery. We’re thrilled to report that she’s recovering wonderfully and already showing signs of her playful, spirited self again.

❓What is a Dog Friendly clinic❓
The aim of the Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme, a collaboration between Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association, is for veterinary professionals to apply dog behavioural principles to make the provision of veterinary care the most comfortable experience possible for dogs, owners, and veterinary teams alike.

Meet Bernard💙
This cheeky Border Terrier made an out-of-hours visit to our Salisbury Road branch after swallowing a small toggle (see pic two!).
One quick injection later, he brought it back up safely. We’re hoping he won’t be doing that again anytime soon! 💉😅🐾

Meet Molly!
This adorable 3-month-old Springer Spaniel came in for her puppy check and flea & worm treatment. After lots of cuddles and play, she napped on our reception desk! 🐾💤

🍉 Watermelon wonder!
A sweet, juicy way to help your dog cool down this summer – watermelon (served seedless and rind-free!) is a refreshing treat packed with water and goodness.
❄️ Try serving chilled or frozen into bite-sized chunks for an extra cooling effect!
💡 Always serve in moderation – it’s a treat, not a meal.
What other fruity faves do your pets love when the sun's out? ☀️

🥒 Cool as a Cucumber – and pet-friendly too!
☀️On a warm summer day, cooled cucumber slices make a great hydrating snack for dogs (and some cats too!)
✅ Low in calories✅ High in water✅ Crunchy and satisfying
Always serve in small, manageable pieces – and never seasoned or pickled!
❗ Not every pet is a fan, and that’s okay – every treat should suit their tummy and taste.
What’s your pet’s favourite summer snack?
Let us know below! 🐾

Baby Squabs 🐥

Our Story
The Minster Veterinary Practice has been providing veterinary care to the pets of York for more than 100 years. Originally based in a converted townhouse in The Crescent, The Minster Veterinary Practice has expanded into one of York’s largest small animal practices.
The Minster Veterinary Practice has five branches at Crockey Hill, Willow Grove, Copmanthorpe and Haxby, and its main small animal hospital at Salisbury Road.
The Minster Veterinary Practice moved the main hospital to its current site at Salisbury Road in 1985. Originally poultry and equine were both treated at this site, but since 1998 Salisbury Road has been a dedicated small animal practice. In 2015, the Salisbury Road practice gained hospital status, the highest level of accreditation, from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
The Minster Veterinary Practice has steadily grown and now has 21 vets, 18 veterinary nurses and 19 reception and admin staff, operating across its five branches and at its main hospital at Salisbury Road.
