Ashdale Veterinary Clinic

The team at VetHospital is dedicated to providing the best possible care for the pets you care for. The practice was founded in August 1988 by Bob Partridge who had fallen in love with Harrogate and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. Ashdale Veterinary Clinic was set-up in a converted Butcher's shop on Otley Road in Harrogate. At this time Bob was a single handed practitioner, which meant that he was on-call 24 hours a day 365 days per year, living in the small flat above the practice. Purchase of one of the very first mobile phones meant that he did get to see something of his wife and dogs in those first few years. In December 1992 the light industrial premises at OakBeck were converted into North Yorkshire's first Veterinary Hospital, which formally opened on the 28th January 1993. This milestone in the care provided for pets in the Harrogate area is a mark of our determination to provide the best possible care.
