Our practice

Chelvets is based at Dragon Vets on the Cheltenham Racecourse. We are

an air-conditioned practice with an in-house lab (including on-site blood gas analysis) and high-quality diagnostic and surgical facilities. We are fortunate to have access to on-site CT, DR and high-end ultrasonography, ECG, plus a selection of video-endoscopes. Our theatres are equipped with multiparameter monitoring (including capnography), ligasure and laparoscopic facilities. We have a staff room for relaxation on the quieter nights, plus two air-conditioned bedrooms.

Join our experienced and collaborative team

At night, you will have support from 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses and an additional 'twilight' Vet. Dragon Vets is the largest practice in Cheltenham, and we are fortunate to have around 20 vets working within the practice. Several vets are RCVS Advanced Practitioners in medicine, surgery, and cardiology, meaning that there is a wealth of experience available to team members both during the day and night. We hold clinical team meetings regularly, and there are several whole-practice social events held throughout the year.
