SEPTEMBER 2025

Safe Haven Veterinary Clinic was born out of a desire to return veterinary medicine to the way it should be practiced; with the patients wellbeing at the very heart of the care, but also at a realistic cost. 

In the last decade, Vets in general have become synonymous with corporate medicine, where no matter what catchy tag line they present, profit will always come before the patient. 

​

Here at Safe Haven, as an experienced Veterinary Surgeon with over 20 years in practice, I firmly believe we need to get the profession as a whole back to the core ethos of a love of the job as a way of life, and a genuine love for the animals, with their care at the heart of everything we do. And that, I truly believe, starts in the home. 

 

Most of our pets feel the same way about the vets as I do about the dentist! Simply walking in the door peeks their stress from the sights, sounds and smells. 

It is well known in human medicine, that patients do better if you can, where possible, keep them out of hospital and in their homes - so long as they can receive the care they need of course! 

That's why at Safe Haven we want to bring as much of the practice to you as we can.

 

Yes that's right - we come to you!!

 

Whilst we can't perform surgery at your home, we can provide both the routine care of consultations and vaccinations, and also blood testing (for both health care checks and when disease is suspected),  diabetes and other endocrine disease management, titre testing, in-home ultrasound exams, lameness management, and post operative care to name just a few things. And should the need arise for your pet to undergo surgery - we have partnered with an independent clinic in Ringwood (just over the Hampshire border) in order to also provide this service ato all our patients. 

 

I truly believe in building relationships with my clients that last a lifetime, developing friendships, and sharing in your pets journey. So in order to do that, those relationships need to be founded on the basis of honesty, which in turn leads to trust. I genuinely believe that the care of our animals is a God given mandate that was set out from the very beginning of time, and I wish to do my best to uphold that mandate with the seriousness that it demands. 

SAFE HAVEN - for your pets, that's your home - and in times of illness it's our hands - together as a team.

YOUR PET - YOUR VET - YOUR HOME
