About Spring Lodge Vets
We are a RCVS accredited small animal hospital in Witham, Essex with 5 other accredited branches all a short drive from the hospital. 3 of these branches are ‘stand-alone’ branches with facilities to image and operate. The other two branches are ‘consulting only’ branches which feed into the main hospital.
The hospital has a full in-house lab, separate isolation, cat and dog wards and a separate orthopaedic theatre. We host a digital x-ray, ultrasound, various endoscopes and laparoscopic kit. We are also proud to be a ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic, a RWAF Rabbit Friendly Clinic, and a fear free clinic.
The main hospital in Witham is in walkable distance to a main line train station for easy access to London and is within driving distance to the East coast. We have a good mixture of surrounding countryside and town, and we are only half an hour to Stanstead airport.

Many of the clinical staff hold or are working towards further qualifications.
