Companion Vets
Veterinary Clinic

Our Story

We are so excited to be launching Hamilton’s newest veterinary clinic! Dr Craig Brighouse, an experienced local vet who has over 15 years in Hamilton and his wife Margie never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to start their own business together. But when the opportunity arose, they seized on it!

When they started to work out what message they wanted to promote for their new business they considered a range of ideas but settled quickly on the name because they felt it characterised the animal and human relationship so beautifully. They are pets but they are more than that – they are your companion, thus Companion Vets was born! And we want you to know that we exist for them and their needs – Our Purpose is Pets – truly!

And adding to our story we are delighted to announce that Dr Juliet Matthews is now also a proud joint owner of Companion Vets!!!

Why Choose Us

At Companion Vets we understand that everyone has a special and unique bond with their pet. And we understand that different pets have different needs. And so, we want you to know that we will never take a “one size fits all” approach to pet healthcare.

We know that having a sick fur-family member can be a highly stressful time for everyone involved. We are working to make every visit as stress-free as possible by having our team undergo Fear Free training and are a Silver Cat Friendly accredited Clinic.

Our aim is to work with you to provide the best care and treatment for both you and your amazing pet.

Seperate cat & dog areas

We understand that cats and dogs are different, and that size “may” matter. So we have set up a separate cat waiting area and arranged the general reception area into smaller dog waiting and larger dog waiting zones.
