Your local independent small animal practice

Welcome to White Mill Veterinary Centre

With a history spanning more than 100 years, we are the only remaining independent mixed veterinary practice in East Kent. Our dedicated small animal team provides a comprehensive range of services, with a strong focus on tailoring care to the individual needs of each pet.

White Mill has made significant investment in state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, enabling us to offer an extensive range of diagnostic, surgical, medical and aftercare services on site. As a result, the majority of investigations and treatments can be carried out without the need to refer your pet elsewhere.

Our friendly, experienced and highly motivated small animal team offers:

  • Routine and preventative healthcare
  • Vaccinations and microchipping
  • Neutering and a wide range of general surgical procedures
