Seadown Vets joins CVS group

Hampshire-based animal hospital Seadown Vets has decided to become part of the CVS Group.

Its four owners, clinical directors Anna Jennings, Gillies Moffatt and Laura Trigg, and veterinary surgeon Kate McMorris, decided to join the CVS family due to the added investment and support a larger veterinary group can provide.

The Seadown group employs a team of 78 staff. There are 21 vets, including multiple advanced practitioners, certificate holders and two veterinary ophthalmologists – who treat referrals for all species. There are also 21 veterinary nurses who conduct surgical cases, run nurse clinics, and care for patients.

It comprises two first opinion practices for small animals in Totton and Lymington with the latest equipment and facilities. They serve the New Forest and surrounding area from three well-equipped sites based in Hythe, Totton and Lymington.

The practice has been running for over 100 years and provides honorary veterinary services to the New Forest Pony Breeders.

Trigg said: “Seadown has thrived as a practice for almost 100 years, serving the animals of the New Forest and surrounding communities. We have always prided ourselves in providing the highest standards of clinical care, combined with an excellent working environment for our staff.

“Our move to become part of CVS ensures we can continue to provide our high quality services with the added investment and support a larger veterinary group can provide. CVS’ commitment to the profession and the wellbeing of their staff was a key factor in our decision to join the group.”

Ben Jacklin, COO at CVS, added: “Seadown Vets is an exceptional practice with some outstanding people at its heart. We are thrilled to welcome Anna, Kate, Laura and Gillies and their highly experienced team into our group. We look forward to doing everything we can to support them in their best-in-class work to provide care for animals.”
