About MW Vets
A mixed large-animal veterinary practice, rooted in Wellesley and Milverton since 1941.
Comprehensive Veterinary Care. Wherever Your Herd Calls Home.
Our mobile veterinarians travel throughout the region, providing comprehensive preventative and emergency veterinary services to horse stables, hobby farms, and commercial livestock operations.
At Milverton-Wellesley Veterinary Services, we are passionate about supporting the health, productivity, and long-term success of our clients’ herds. We offer a full range of bovine and small ruminant veterinary services for dairy and beef cows, sheep, and goats, tailored to meet the unique needs of each farm and its animals.
Caring for Your Herd’s Health. Supporting Your Farm’s Success.
We believe every client and every animal deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and care. Our commitment is to promote animal health, restore wellness whenever possible, and relieve pain and suffering through humane, timely, and compassionate veterinary care.
Who We Are
At MW Vets, we believe great veterinary care is built on relationships, practical medicine, and a genuine commitment to our agricultural community.
Mixed Animal Expertise
Our veterinarians are comfortable treating cows, horses, sheep, and goats, providing knowledgeable care to farms of every size, from small hobby farms to large production operations.
Care Built on Relationships
We believe great emergency care starts long before an emergency. Through routine and preventative veterinary care, we get to know you, your farm, and your animals, allowing us to provide more informed and effective care when you need us most.
Partners In Your Farm’s Success
We understand that animal health and farm profitability go hand in hand. We work alongside our clients to provide practical, cost-conscious veterinary solutions that support healthy animals, successful farms, and sustainable businesses.
Rooted In Our Community
Proud to serve our agricultural community since 1941, we believe being a good veterinary practice means being a good neighbour. Through volunteering, donations, and community involvement, we are committed to giving back to the people and communities that support us.

Rooted in Community
We believe being part of a community means more than simply working in it. It means showing up, lending a hand and giving back. Whether volunteering our time, supporting local organizations, or contributing to causes close to our hearts, our team is proud to make a difference. From our local communities to communities around the world, giving back is simply part of who we are.
