We cover horses, farms and Alpaca enterprises across Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and Durham.

Here at Intake Veterinary Services we focus on personal service with continuity of care. We are a streamlined practice with 3 experienced vets concentrating on equine, farm and alpaca work.  We encourage our clients to develop a working relationship with one main vet.  Over time this allows us to build up a real understanding of your animals' needs and problems.

Drug orders can be dealt with by Tracy at the office by phone, fax, email or via the drug order page on this website.

We have a personalized service to our clients and prefer to be contacted directly via our mobile phones.  Normal working hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday – Friday.  Outside those times, a message service on the mobiles will direct you to the duty vet’s number.  There is always a vet available on the mobile 24/7 for emergency calls.

We have developed a friendly and totally approachable practice, with vets available directly via mobile phones.  We try and tailor service levels to individual farmer requirements as some only want the ‘fire brigade’ emergency service whereas others have regular routine visits and / or preventative medicine programs in place.  All our clients are equally valued and are provided with a high level of care.
