Nice to meet you!
Welcome to Vermuyden Vets, a trailblazing small animal practice located in the heart of Goole. We've recently undergone a breath-taking transformation, expanding our small animal services, and setting the stage for even greater achievements. Our practice boasts cutting-edge facilities, including a digital X-ray system, ultrasound, and a full internal lab. But that's not all! We've also formed a powerful partnership with Portland House Veterinary Group in Retford, granting us access to additional facilities and a team of experienced professionals.
Our tight-knit team currently consists of a part time exceptional small animal vet, who is supported by an outstanding group of ACAs and receptionists. We're not just colleagues; we're a family of passionate and friendly individuals who live and breathe veterinary care. Delivering first-class service to our clients and their beloved pets is our top priority. To ensure your well-being, we have a dedicated mental health first aider on hand. We know how to have a blast outside of work too! From lively pub quizzes to our legendary annual summer BBQ and even participating in adrenaline-pumping events like Tough Mudder, we know how to create unforgettable memories. Join us on this extraordinary journey where exceptional service and care are the norm!
Here's what our team has to say:
“Portland house has been a great start to my career, I started in September 2022 as a vet after graduating that summer. The team have been very supportive as I have found my feet as a new grad and are always happy to help. I enjoy the variety of work that a truly mixed practice brings from scanning a blocked goat’s bladder to performing pyometra surgery. It has been great to be part of a social team with regular pub trips and quizzes, which bring the whole team together!”– Juliet, Vet
