We are committed to ensuring that both you and your companions receive exceptional, individualised treatment and service. To maintain continuity of care, we will always endeavour to ensure you see the same veterinary surgeon and nurse at each visit.
As an independent clinic, we have complete autonomy in our clinical decision-making, allowing us to always put your pet first. We also truly value your feedback and have the freedom to act on it quickly to continuously improve our service.
For us, this is more than a veterinary practice — it is part of a lifelong mission to protect and care for animals.
How Dr Rav got here
Three decades of companion-animal practice
There are two fixed points in this: the date the register says Dr Rav qualified, and the two decades he spent in one practice in Hampshire.
Before 1996
Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry
Dr Rav graduated with distinction in both veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. He grew up surrounded by animals on his grandparents' farms, so it was never going to be anything else.

Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons

The years after
Assistant veterinary surgeon, then associate, then head vet and clinical director
Almost every job there is in a veterinary practice, in that order.
Two decades
Senior partner, owner
In a large, multi-vet companion-animal practice in Hampshire. The practice was sold by a joint partnership decision, which is what made this next part possible.
