Welcome to Northvet

We’ve been keeping the animals of Orkney healthy since 1861 and we understand the role we play in life on our island.

Whether it’s regularly visiting the outer isles or investing in our facilities inhouse to reduce the chances our clients need to travel to mainland Scotland, we do what we can to make things easy for our community.

At the heart of everything we do is the concept of family – going the extra mile for our patients, clients and colleagues.

Proud to care for Orkney’s pets, farms and horses

We have three branch surgeries in Kirkwall, Stromness and Harray, and cover all of Orkney including the outer isles.

All of our surgeries have free parking on site and provide a 24 hour emergency service 365 days of the year.

If you need our help out of office hours please call us as normal and our dedicated emergency team will respond immediately.
