PORTLAND HOUSE EQUINE CLOSURE
It is with great sadness that we announce the permanent closure of Portland House Equine on the 14th of August 2024.
All registered clients should receive official communications relating to this either by letter, email or text, depending on the contact information we hold.
We would like to stress that this has been an incredibly difficult decision and has not been taken lightly, but reflects the current financial climate, and recruitment challenges within the wider veterinary industry amongst other factors.
We would like to send our huge thanks to the clients who have supported us over the last 11 years. We have genuinely loved looking after every single one of your horses, ponies and donkeys – even those who do not always feel the same about seeing the vet!
The letter you have received should have detailed arrangements for ongoing veterinary provision with Churchfield Equine. We highly recommend Churchfield, who will be able to provide an excellent level of service for all our clients. You are of course free to register with any practice you choose. We will be happy to forward your horses’ clinical histories to your new practice and have set up a form for your history requests. Please use this wherever possible rather than phoning the office. It can be accessed via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/YF9n5ciKxj
Please bear in mind that we are working from now until the 14th with reduced staff levels, and extremely limited appointment availability. Please be kind to our staff who will be doing their absolute best to provide a smooth transition through this difficult time.
We will continue to provide a 24/7 emergency service for registered clients only until the 14th of August. The small animal and farm departments of Portland House Vet Group remain unaffected.
With the kindest regards from the whole equine team.
