For all of us at The Strand Veterinarian, our ambition is to create a care environment acceptable to the most discerning of clientele, our own precious four-legged familiars. A place to be nurtured and healed – a place where intuitively they feel the heart behind our service, trusting us to look after their best interests when it comes to their health.
When we talk about ‘heart’, for us that means a high standard of customer care, a commitment to increasing the skills and knowledge of our extraordinary team, and the creation of a space where love, respect and understanding of our client’s special relationship with their animal companion takes place.

Sustainable business
Reducing our impact on the environment is something we continually strive for at The Strand Veterinarian.
We limit our plastic use by swapping to compostable alternatives where we can, utilising the soft plastic recycling scheme, as well as compostable courier bags and dog waste bags. We use recycled paper when printing is needed, although all our invoices and clinical notes are emailed as we aim to lead our clients towards paperless information transfer.
We prioritise products such as compostable treat packaging, eco-friendly cleaning products, and bamboo toothbrushes. We use rechargeable batteries and are driving a Terracycle initiative to recycle our used PPE and used pet food packaging.
We are a team of like-minded, eco-friendly individuals who are always looking for ways to improve veterinary practice sustainability.
