Graduate Development Programme

Be a part of our Linnaeus Graduate Development Programme!

Boundary Vets has been part of the local community for over 10 years. Our aim is to provide the highest standard of veterinary care for local pets, whilst offering a personal touch.

We are a single site, primary care practice with a friendly and approachable team ready to provide support and guidance to a new graduate. Our vets have a range of experience levels, from recent graduate to over 20 years. Working alongside the vet team, we have a compassionate and clinically excellent nursing team.

Boundary Vets is an RCVS-Accredited Small Animal Practice, with well-equipped facilities including ultrasound, dental radiography and endoscopy. There are small animal medicine certificate holders in the vet team and the practice also offers in-house orthopaedics and echocardiography services.

Our enthusiastic and dedicated team at Boundary Vets are ready to support a new graduate in their transition from university to clinical practice and welcome them into the Boundary Vet family network.
