One of the UK's largest veterinary groups, with 350+ branches concentrated in London and the South East. UK branches on this site 354 Head office Watford, Hertfordshire Median consult (sample) £59.00 from 328 branches with published prices ## Ownership Parent company Medivet Partnership LLP (majority-owned by CVC Capital Partners) Founded 1987 Head office Watford, Hertfordshire Website [www.medivet.co.uk](https://www.medivet.co.uk) Medivet started as a single practice in Kilburn in 1987 and grew through partnership-model acquisitions. Since a 2021 majority buy-out by private-equity firm CVC Capital Partners, the group has continued to consolidate independent surgeries under the Medivet brand while retaining a partner-led clinical structure at branch level. Originating in a single practice during the late 1980s, this veterinary corporate expanded significantly from its initial Kilburn roots into a major national network. Operating from a Watford headquarters, the group achieved scale primarily through a joint venture partnership model, allowing local clinicians to retain a stake in their clinics. Today, private equity firm CVC Capital Partners holds a majority interest. For pet owners visiting one of the more than three hundred and fifty sites, the local surgery often retains its original community name alongside overarching corporate branding. Because the portfolio is concentrated across London and the South East, clients here frequently encounter the familiar signage. The clinical offering largely focuses on routine first-opinion treatments, though the network also includes dedicated centres providing out-of-hours coverage and specialist referrals for surrounding smaller branches. When determining costs, pricing structures are typically guided by a central corporate framework rather than being entirely dictated by individual branch partners. This centralised approach to fee-setting and broader sector consolidation have recently drawn regulatory attention. The Competition and Markets Authority is currently conducting a formal market investigation into the veterinary industry, examining how corporate acquisitions and shared pricing models introduced by large operators impact consumer choice and billing transparency for domestic pet owners. ## Where Medivet operates in the UK Branch distribution across UK regions, based on the 354 Medivet sites indexed on this site.
