Your Trusted Pet Healthcare Partner in Swindon
Established in 1989, Shaw Village Centre has evolved from a single-vet practice to a comprehensive veterinary service in Swindon. Our journey began as a branch of Eastcott Veterinary Hospital, with David Warnes taking leadership in 1993. Under his stewardship, the practice expanded significantly, acquiring adjacent premises to enhance facilities, including dedicated kennel areas, an isolation unit, and a state-of-the-art operating theatre. In 2006, David and Caroline Warnes acquired the practice, further driving growth until their retirement in 2020. Today, we pride ourselves on being RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accredited at the highest level, reflecting our commitment to excellence.Our team of experienced veterinarians, nurses, and support staff utilise advanced diagnostic equipment, including digital radiography and ultrasound, to deliver precise care. We prioritise preventative health through initiatives like the Pet Health Club, offering wellness screening and nutritional guidance. Our dedication to continuous improvement ensures pets receive compassionate, evidence-based treatment in a modern, welcoming environment.
