About us

We are a tier 3, ISFM gold status, multidisciplinary veterinary hospital that prides itself on providing extremely high standards of care to our patients.

Eastcott Veterinary Referrals is situated in Swindon. Swindon borders the Wiltshire countryside with vast areas of outstanding natural beauty and yet also benefits from excellent transport links to the South West, London and Midlands.

Eastcott Referrals recently underwent major extension and refurbishment, meaning it's a great time to join our dynamic and motivated team that has benefited from the support of the Linnaeus Group and Mars Petcare. This investment in our state‑of‑the‑art facilities has allowed us to provide the best care to our patients, and the opportunity to perform the most up‑to‑date and innovative procedures.
