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.
