Supporting Our Local Community

Inspiring kindness, care, and curiosity in the next generation

We’re proud to be an active part of our local community and believe it’s important to help educate and inspire future generations. Over the past two and a half years, our team has regularly visited local primary schools, where children have enjoyed bandaging their teddies, dressing up as vets, and learning how to care for their pets. These visits help children understand the importance of kindness, responsibility, and the many roles within a veterinary practice.

We also offer work experience and work placement opportunities and have attended local secondary school careers events to encourage students considering a future in the veterinary profession. If you’d like to learn more about school visits, work experience, or placements, please contact admin@rackheathvets.co.uk, and your enquiry will be passed to the appropriate member of the team.

Finance

Spread the Cost of Your Treatment

We are in partnership with Carefree Credit. We are able to offer interest free finance to our clients. If you are thinking about a dental which isn’t covered by insurance, or any other large outlay with us and would like to spread the costs to make this more affordable, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly reception staff who will be able to give you more details.
