Vets in Greenwich
Premium, independent veterinary care for Greenwich pets — a calm 12-minute drive across the heath in Blackheath.
We’re not in the middle of Greenwich town centre — we’re just across the heath in Blackheath, a few minutes and a world away from the market crowds. Hundreds of Greenwich families already trust us with their dogs, cats and small pets, from dog and cat vaccinations to more complex care.
Independent, locally run, and unhurried — the way good neighbourhood care should feel.

What Greenwich owners say
“We looked at practices in Greenwich itself, but a neighbour swore by Whisker & Woof — and now so do we. The drive over the heath takes ten minutes and Otto trots in like he owns the place.”
“Same-day appointment when Pickle cut her paw on the Peninsula. Calm, thorough, and a follow-up call the next morning. That's not something we'd had from a vet before.”
“Our two cats hate travelling, so the separate cat waiting area is a godsend. Everyone remembers their names — it feels like a proper neighbourhood practice.”
