About us

We are a long-established, Small Animal Veterinary Group based in Woking, Bagshot, and Addlestone. As a progressive practice, we recently relocated to our brand new, purpose-built practice in Woking, and continue to invest to refurbish and equip our other 2 practices to the same high standard.

We also have a purpose-built grooming salon at our main site. One of the most important things to us here at Lynton is our history and local "Village Vet" reputation for providing the highest level of service and value for all our clients. Therefore, we have a loyal client base and a gold standard reputation across the local community.

About the team and culture

We have 9 Veterinary Surgeons across the group who are supported by a great team of 10 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 2 Student Veterinary Nurses, ANA's and experienced Receptionists. We have a family-like culture in practice and have embedded true support amongst the team. Each practice has an essential SOS chocolate station and we are never short of cake with some excellent bakers across the group!

The mental and physical well-being of the team is paramount to us - we like to show our support both in-house and externally by taking part in charity events such as "Ride for Dementia" and "Relay for Life" in aid of cancer research.
