We are delighted to be preparing for the launch of a brand-new veterinary hospital in Hull, further expanding our services across Yorkshire.

Our new Hull hospital will enable us to provide affordable, high-quality veterinary care to even more pets and their owners across East Yorkshire.

Hull will be set to open its doors in January 2027.

Animal Trust is an independently owned, not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) providing accessible, affordable, high-quality veterinary care.

Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our hospital will offer continuous patient care and emergency services, supporting both our clients and the wider veterinary community.

Our commitment to affordability sets us apart.
