The York-based group also owns practices across Europe.

VetPartners has announced the acquisition of a practice in the Republic of Ireland as part of its continued expansion.

The York-based group has purchased Westgate Veterinary Hospital in Drogheda, which cares for small and large animals in the counties of Louth and Meath. 

Established in the mid-'80s, Westgate has a team of 35 vets, vet nurses, receptionists and admin. In 2002, the practice opened a second site in Laytown.

The owners of Westgate, John Russell, Simon Rath and William Burgess, will remain as clinical directors.

VetPartners first expanded into mainland Europe in 2019 and currently owns practices in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany and Spain.
