Family Vets in Farnham
Where better care begins with genuine connection.
Family Vets was founded by Kevin Clayton, a dedicated vet with a core belief: that pets and their people deserve more than rushed appointments and corporate targets.
After years in busy, investor-led practices, Kevin and his wife Charlotte, also a veterinary surgeon, envisioned something different—a place where clinical excellence is matched by compassion, human connection, and where every decision is guided by what’s best for your pet.
Rooted in Farnham’s spirit of craftsmanship and community, Family Vets is a family-run practice offering veterinary care that’s personal, calm, and deeply reassuring. We look forward to getting to know you and your pets.
Our family is growing, so check back soon to meet more of us!
Our philosophy
At Family Vets in Farnham, Surrey, we believe great care starts with great relationships. We take the time to get to know you and your pet—not just their medical history, but their quirks, routines, and what makes them feel safe. Because when animals feel at ease, trust grows and that’s when great care begins.
We answer only to our patients and their people. That means flexible options, honest advice, and decisions made on your pet’s terms not anyone else’s. And guided by Clayton family motto: Probitatem quam divitias = Honesty over riches.
