Welcome to Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care

Based in Northumberland and County Durham, we have equine vets and small animal vets providing a professional and caring service to you and your pets. Our dedicated and experienced team provide excellent care for all animals, both day and night; our patients are never left alone. We have a large veterinary surgery in Hexham with excellent facilities, offering a wide range of services and treatments, and a branch in Tow Law to serve north County Durham. We are here to support the entire lifecycle, with passionate staff who are always happy to help. ​

Covid-19 protocols

Currently our small animal vets may invite owners into the consult room with their pet, but this is up to the vet's discretion. This is similar for equine clients, however often you will speak with the vets and nurses outside in the stable area, which means clients don't normally need to enter the building.

When you arrive outside, please inform us by phone (01434 608999) and we will invite you into the building at the appropriate time. Please sanitise your hands in the lobby upon entry, and if entering the consult rooms we ask you to wear a mask. This is important for the following reasons:

1. While in the consultation rooms, we cannot effectively distance from each other while treating your pets
2. Our vets and nurses meet many owners in a day, resulting in substantial exposure
3. With a boom in pet ownership, our team is busier than ever – we must protect our staff from becoming ill

 
We’re maintaining some protective measures to protect you, your animals and ourselves. We ask that you please respect our restrictions for everyone’s safety and be kind and respectful to our staff, who are doing an amazing job in sometimes quite difficult circumstances.

​Thank you!

24 Hour Emergency Care

We are one of the only practices in the North East to have 24 hour staffing on the Small Animal and Equine wards. Our patients are ​never left alone, and we always have vets on call for when emergencies arise. With radiography, theatre and laboratory facilities on site, we can investigate and treat a wide range of issues. The emergency out of hours service is run from our Hexham branch, providing high quality care both day and night.
