Your Trusted Rochford Vets
Rochford Vets has been the main veterinary practice in Rochford, Essex since the 1930s. Originally established as a farm and equine practice, we transitioned to focus exclusively on domestic pets in Rochford and the surrounding Southend-on-Sea area. As a family-owned business since 1991, we pride ourselves on maintaining continuity of care through our team of four veterinary surgeons and eight support staff. Our practice operates with 15-minute appointment slots to ensure thorough consultations, and we have consciously remained a smaller practice to provide personalized attention to each pet throughout their lifetime.We offer modern veterinary facilities while preserving the compassionate care that has earned us 303 positive reviews from our clients. Our office is open from 8:30am Monday to Saturday, and we maintain a dedicated car park for client convenience.

Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programme protects pets against common infectious diseases. We follow Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons guidelines to ensure proper scheduling and administration. Vaccinations form part of our preventative healthcare approach, helping pets maintain long-term immunity.
Microchipping
We implant microchips to permanently identify pets in accordance with UK legislation. This service includes registration on national databases and updating contact details. Microchipping significantly increases chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
Parasite Treatments
Our parasite control programmes protect against fleas, ticks, and internal worms. We provide prescription treatments following clinical examinations. Regular parasite treatments are essential for maintaining pet health and preventing zoonotic disease transmission.
Health Checks
We conduct thorough physical examinations to assess pet wellbeing. Health checks include weight monitoring, dental assessments, and early disease detection. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal health across all life stages from puppies to senior pets.
Emergency Services
Our 24-hour emergency service handles urgent pet medical needs through Medivet Eastwood. We provide continuity of care by transferring patients back to our practice after out-of-hours treatment. Emergency care includes trauma management and critical condition stabilisation.
