About Bowbridge Vets
People who love animals, caring for yours
Your pet deserves care that’s tailored to them.
That’s why we never settle for anything less.
Since we first opened our doors to our Stroud practice in 1967, Bowbridge Vets has been defined by one simple rule: delivering care that meets the unique needs of every pet that comes through our doors. We know that your pet is a cherished member of your family, and we believe they should be treated with the same kindness, honesty, and respect we’d want for our own pets.
Our Story: Nearly 60 Years of Honest Advice
As an independent practice, we’ve spent over half a century building a reputation for being transparent and compassionate. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all veterinary care. Instead, we get to know you and your pet so we can provide options that truly fit your circumstances and your pet's needs.
Whether it’s a routine check-up or a difficult conversation, you can rely on us for straightforward, expert guidance without any corporate shortcuts.
Why Independent Vetcare Matters for Your Pet
Being independent means we have the freedom to do what’s right, every single time.
We Listen:
We take the time to hear your concerns and understand your pet’s unique personality.
We Make Decisions Together:
We offer honest, straightforward advice that reflects your values, your circumstances and your pet’s comfort.
No Corporate Pressure:
Without targets or shortcuts, we focus entirely on the wellbeing of the animal in front of us.
Meet the Team
Together with our dedicated nurses and welcoming reception team, our practice owners veterinary surgeons Philip Birch, Lourens Brand, and Naomi Eaton work hard to create a calm, supportive environment where both you and your pet can feel at ease. We treat every patient with the same compassion we’d want for a member of our own family. Because we understand that great care is about more than just medicine, it’s about building trust.
