Kin Vet Extends Its Community With Aspen Veterinary Surgery, Ewell Veterinary Centre And The Vet Whetstone

We’re pleased to announced we’ve acquired three carefully chosen practices: Aspen Veterinary Surgery in Tolworth, Surrey, along with its nearby partner practice, Ewell Veterinary Centre, and The Vet Whetstone, in Whetstone, North London. This strategic development reaffirms our commitment to sustainably delivering the highest standards of trusted veterinary care and enhancing services for the local community.

Aspen Veterinary Surgery was acquired by Peter Melville BSc BVMS MRCVS and his partner, John Ball, in 1991, and in 1996 they added Ewell Veterinary Centre, building on its 60-year history of serving the local community. The two first opinion practices take pride in offering the highest standards of care with a family feel, which complements Kin Vet Community’s mission to ensure their communities receive the best veterinary services available.

Peter Melville will stay on as a leader of Aspen and Ewell practices, which will retain their full complement of staff, and said,” The transition to Kin Vet Community was incredibly smooth and thoughtfully managed. Their team was respectful, professional and genuinely committed to preserving the culture and care standards we built. I’m confident that both practices are in excellent hands for the future. Their approach was collaborative and transparent throughout, and I always felt supported and heard. It’s clear that Kin Vet Community truly cares about people, both clients and team, and I’m reassured knowing the practice is being led with such integrity and care.”

Trusted for providing a high standard of care to its community’s pets, The Vet Whetstone was established in 2002 by Albert Moussafir DrMedVet MRCVS. The practice is an Approved Nurse Training Practice with a strong nursing team and can also provide advanced orthopaedic and surgical procedures through its experienced vets. Albert Moussafir is looking forward to The Vet Whetstone becoming part of the Kin Vet Community and commented, “After meeting the Kin Vet Community team and especially their leadership, we felt a real sense of alignment and shared values. Our team is excited to be joining a wider community that puts people and pets first.”

“Joining Kin Vet Community feels like a natural next step for our clinic. Their approach, culture, and care for people and their pets resonate strongly with us, and we’re thrilled to be part of this growing community.”

Ciara Mc Cormack MVB MRCVS, CEO of Kin Vet Community, said, “Welcoming Aspen Veterinary Surgery, Ewell Veterinary Centre and The Vet Whetstone into Kin Vet Community reflects our shared vision of nurturing veterinary professionals and delivering excellence in care. The strengths of these three practices, combined with the collaborative approach of our group, will further enhance our integrated care model. Together, we are strengthening our commitment to building a network of community-focused veterinary practices that prioritise the needs of both clients and their animals.”
