Bay Vets is a place where animals' needs are prioritised. Every individual within the Bay Vets team thrives to ensure every animal presented to us receives all the care it needs. Strays and injured wildlife are as important to us as cats with broken legs, dogs who have eaten things they shouldn't, rabbits with overgrown teeth and guinea pigs who are under the weather.

Staff at Bay Vets don't turn up every day because "it's their job", they turn up to make a difference in animals' and owners' lives.
Being a team of like-minded individuals means we naturally bond and therefore are friends as well as colleagues. The veterinary profession is not easy, but with such a supportive team around you, you'll always have shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen to you, a hand to pass you a brew... and a tail to wag at you.

Bay Vets believe our best asset is our workforce, and so we encourage discussions and suggestions when a need for adjustment is identified. Within recent months for example, changes to how we organise our diaries, perform our in-patient rounds, facilitate written prescriptions and store equipment have been made as a result of team members highlighting an issue and potential solution.

Bay Vets was established after existing practices were bought and merged. Today's Bay Vets has evolved from 1970s small surgeries, retaining historical influences and Victorian buildings that have grown and been adapted over the decades.

Dr Colin Houston BVM&S CertSAS MRCVS and Dr Katie Kyle BVetMed MRCVS bought the practice when the previous owner retired, and since then have implemented positive change to ensure the historic business remains up-to-date and a provider of the highest-quality care. Bay Vets is synonymous with personable, reliable veterinary services amongst residents of Lancaster and surrounding areas.
