Our History

Since our establishment in 1930, Mr Hey and Mr Greenwood were the local vets for local people.

"James Herriot" characters, in the days when the surrounding community all knew and trusted their vet with their companions and livelihood.

During the past 40 years, the business has been passed on to vets who grew up with this community feel and who now bring this attitude to their staff and the practice.

Veterinary Medicine and technology has advanced immeasurably during this time, the quality of care Rufford Veterinary Group has not only remained constant but is now at the forefront of its profession.
