About Us

Our veterinary practice in Sturminster Newton, North Dorset, was originally founded in Church Street over fifty years ago.  The previous owner purchased it in 1967 and moved it to Rixon, at the corner of Station Road and Butts Pond Industrial Estate.   In 1972  a purpose-built surgery was constructed, enabling it to be moved from the house to where it is presently situated. We became the Blackmore Vale Veterinary Centre in October 2000 when Christine Fife BVM&S MRCVS purchased the practice.

The veterinary centre has since expanded becoming a nurse training practice in 2002.  In 2008 we were approved as a RCVS Tier 2 Small Animal and Tier 1 Equine accredited practice, one of the smallest practices to be  approved.  We have two veterinary surgeons, a qualified veterinary nurse, two animal nursing assistants and one kennel assistant.

Our main aim is to offer a high standard of personalised care for your pet.
