Your Trusted Veterinarians in Loughborough
Meadow Lane Vets was founded in the 1870s, establishing itself as one of the oldest veterinary practices in Leicestershire. Originally serving large animals and equine clients, the practice transitioned to small animal and exotic medicine over the decades. Our modern facilities include diagnostic tools like x-ray and ultrasound, surgical areas, and kennels, supported by qualified veterinary surgeons and nurses. We prioritise professional, friendly care for pets and exotic animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles. Our loyalty discount scheme helps clients manage routine care costs, while special offers on flea, tick, and worming control provide added value.The practice has evolved continuously, embracing modernisation while retaining historic architectural features from its stable-block origins. Emergency services operate 24/7, with dedicated out-of-hours support through MiNightVet East Midlands. Our team combines decades of experience with ongoing investment in education and equipment to meet modern veterinary expectations. Located in Loughborough town centre with free on-site parking, we serve local pet owners and exotic animal caretakers. This blend of heritage, expertise, and contemporary care defines our commitment to veterinary excellence in the 21st century.

Medication markup is soooo high. I don't mind paying a professional for their expertise but they should be more reasonable on their markup. Very reluctant to write a prescription so that I can buy online.
