New veterinary group invests six figures into Doncaster expansion

En-suite cat kennels and an affordable total wellness plan are just two of the benefits pet owners from Doncaster can benefit from, following the opening of a new veterinary practice in Armthorpe, Doncaster.

Harrison Family Vets has invested £350,000 in the state-of-the-art practice and initially created six new jobs. Clinic director, Ximo Huertas, who lives locally, said: “We have been blown away with the response to our new practice, with over 300 registrations before we even opened our doors!

“We take an innovative approach to everything we do, and our new cat kennels are a great example of this. They have a partition shelf which allows cats to use their litter trays in one area and sleep in another. This design will also allow pets who live together to stay together when they are treated with us.

“The separate cat and dog wards have also all been designed with mood lighting, pet-friendly aromas, and music to create a calming atmosphere. There are four consulting rooms, a digital X-ray suite that includes dental X-ray facilities, an operating theatre and ultrasonography, so the equipment is first-class.”

Independent and family-owned, Harrison Family Vets launched in the UK in 2021 with a practice in Woodley, near Reading, and then opened a practice in Kingswinford in the West Midlands, Didsbury near Manchester and Stockton near Middlesborough.

Operations director, Kristie Faulkner, from Harrison Family Vets, said: “The cost of veterinary treatments has been in the news a lot recently, but as an independently owned business, our clients can be confident that we will do the right thing by them and price as affordably as possible. “

Ximo added: “The level of detail that has gone into every aspect of the design of this practice is phenomenal and it means we can offer a superb level of customer service and pet care in an unrivalled setting. In recent years pet ownership in the UK has skyrocketed and many vets in the local area are closed to new clients, so we are really pleased to be helping address the needs of local pet owners here in Doncaster.”
