About us
Blacks Vets are an award winning practice, independently voted twice as 'Best UK Vet', 'Practice of the Year' and winning the RCVS 'Wellbeing and Client Service' award 2018 and 'Best Place to Work' 2019. We were also featured on Channel 4's The Interview and BBC2 Me and My Dog.
We know we are only as good as the people we employ and that is why everyone who joins us has been carefully selected because of the special qualities they can bring to our team.
With over 50 years experience, we pride ourselves on being family vets for family pets. We have constantly pushed the boundaries on delivering the highest pet care through the calibre and qualifications of our Vets and Nurses and through the friendliness and professionalism of our Client Care teams.
Big enough to offer award-winning care, facilities and expertise for the Black Country's much-loved pets. Small enough to care for client and employees alike treating them as unique individuals - family matters to us.
At Linnaeus, we are committed to supporting the physical and mental health of all our Associates. We have an amazing team of Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) across our practices and central support office in addition to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme which is available for everyone.
