About Bell, Brown & Bentley


At our practice, you'll enjoy a balanced mix of consulting and surgery, where we handle both routine procedures like neutering, dentistry, and mass removals, as well as non-routine and emergency surgeries when needed. As a small animal practice, we primarily treat cats, dogs, and small furries. Our facilities include two consulting rooms, nurse-led clinics, a dispensary, separate cat and dog wards, and lab facilities.

We operate from two branches located in the heart of the East Midlands, both equipped with full operating facilities, including multi-parameters, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and we are currently trialling the new Imagyst microscope from Zoetis. Our team consists of 4 Veterinary Surgeons and 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses, supported by a wonderful group of Student Nurses, VCAs, and Receptionists. Our team is experienced, eager to teach, and creates a welcoming and supportive environment for both staff and clients.

At Bell, Brown & Bentley, we are passionate about career development and continuous professional development (CPD). We foster a positive, collaborative culture where everyone supports one another. Our vets are fully supported by our nursing staff, who play an integral role in ensuring smooth operations and providing the highest standard of care to our patients and clients.
