Your Trusted Veterinary Clinic in Rushden
Established in 2014, Higham Vets was founded by Charly Taylor following the passing of her mentor, David Beiny. Our practice is built on a commitment to compassionate care, continuity, and community support. With a team of experienced veterinarians and nurses, we provide modern diagnostic and surgical facilities, including separate cat and dog waiting areas, advanced imaging equipment, and a dedicated Pet Spa for grooming and skincare. Our unique 'Same Vet Promise' ensures clients develop long-term relationships with their chosen vet, enhancing trust and diagnostic accuracy.We prioritise client communication, offering extended 15-minute consultations, direct vet access via phone/email, and a welcoming environment featuring wheelchair access, air conditioning, and client amenities. Over the years, we've expanded our facilities, including a 2022 acquisition of an upper flat for future practice enhancements.
