About Rogart Vets

We are rural based practice in Rogart and cover the entire county of Sutherland in the Highlands of Scotland. We are a mixed practice - 60% small animal and 40% farm (beef and sheep). Sutherland is a crofting county and as a result we have a lot of crofting clients. We also work with larger farms and sporting estates. Our small animal work varies from pets to working dogs and local wildlife, with quite a few holidaying pets during the summer months.

We have a small team of 5 vets and 4 nurses with a good support team and this position would suit someone who is possibly looking for a change of lifestyle. Life in the Highlands offers lots of recreational time to walk, bag a Munro, go wild swimming and paddle boarding as well as some amazing beaches and historic places to explore.
