Girling and Bowditch Veterinary Surgery was established in 1998. We moved to our purpose built premises in 2002, nestled in the West Dorset countryside. Matthew Bowditch and Terry Girling lead a dedicated team of veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and support staff offering friendly and high quality care including a 24 hour service.

We are a Tier 2 RCVS Accredited Practice and Nurse Training Centre who offer veterinary care to cats, dogs, exotic species including small furries, wildlife and birds.  We also have a farm animal department treating everything from the large dairy or beef farm and sheep units to the specific requirements of the small holder.

With our fully equipped facilities we are able to offer a wide range of veterinary services such as diagnostic imaging, in-house laboratory, nurse clinics, acupuncture, as well as rehabilitation services including hydrotherapy and physiotherapy.
