Run by the vets who built it

Poppy and Bill opened the practice in 2011 and still work in it, alongside eleven vets and ten nurses. Independent and purpose built, in Kennett near Newmarket.

Independent since 2011

The practice is independent and purpose designed. It opened in the summer of 2011, and after rapid expansion the facilities were extended comprehensively in 2016 and again in 2022.

It was developed by, and continues to be run by, vets Poppy and Bill, both of whom have practised in East Anglia their entire careers. Eleven vets and ten nurses now work alongside them.

We recognise how important it is that a relationship exists between you and your vet, so our policy is continuity of care with the familiar friendly faces of our long standing team.

What our clients say

Reviews from our clients, collected through Virtual Recall.

We were greeted very warmly when we entered, the waiting room was very calming and the receptionists greeted and gave my dog attention, which she loved! The appointment was on time and Millie was well looked after throughout. A much better experience than I have ever had at my previous vets!

Hannah P. · March 2026

I have a nervous dog and the vets are always understanding and do not pressurise him into anything he is not comfortable with. It’s always a pleasure to go to Ash Tree Vets.

Clare J. · December 2025

We thought the vet was friendly and really helpful and thorough. By far the best vet we have seen anywhere and we have had dogs for 35 years.
