North Devon Vets

The Charter Veterinary Hospital Group has a team of highly experienced Equine vets. They are coordinated through the 24 hour Farm & Equine Call Centre at Mullacott Equine Hospital which can contacted on 01271 879 516

The foundations of the equine side of the practice were laid back in the 1960's and 70's, moving to Mullacott in 1986 and the only Equine Hospital in the southern half of the country at that time. It serves horse owners in Minehead, Tiverton, Okehampton, Bude and all areas in between. We are lucky to have certificate holders in Equine Stud Medicine and Equine Soft Tissue Surgery amongst our team.

First Opinion
The majority of the work done by the practice is 'First Opinion' (similar to seeing your own GP) but with the backup of the hospital, cases can be admitted as in-patients for further investigation as required.

Referral
We are pleased to accept referrals to our newly refurbished hospital including Colic and Lameness investigations.
