A local vet for the pets of Sefton and Liverpool.

Rimrose Vets is an independent practice run by people who grew up in this community.

A local practice, run by people who grew up here.

Rimrose Vets is an independent veterinary practice on Bridge Road in Litherland, owned and led by Jonathon, the vet who cares for you and your pets, alongside his partner, Elin.

We are not and will not be part of a large corporate group or veterinary chain. Every decision about your pet's care is made, in consultation with you, here in the practice by the team who look after them every day.

We opened Rimrose Vets in June 2025 to bring independent, personal veterinary care back to the community in which we grew up. We named the practice after Rimrose Valley, the area destined to become a highway until community action saw it saved and transformed into a haven for an ever-increasing diversity of wildlife in the south of Sefton.

What we do.

Day-to-day care for your pet, plus the equipment and the visiting specialists to handle more when it is needed. We are an appointment-only practice, so every visit gets the time it needs.

Health checks & vaccinations

Routine appointments, puppy and kitten care, and the yearly checks that keep small problems small.

Dentistry & dental x-ray

Dental work with in-house dental x-ray, so we can see what is happening below the gumline before we treat it.

Surgery

Neutering and a range of soft tissue procedures, carried out in our own theatre with full monitoring.

Diagnostics & imaging

On-site testing and imaging to get to an answer quickly, rather than waiting on results from elsewhere.

Visiting specialists

We bring specialists in for areas like cardiology and orthopaedics so your pet can be seen by the right person without having to make long and stressful journeys.

Nurse clinics

Weight, diet, senior pet and post-op clinics with our nursing team, as part of looking after your pet.

What our clients tell us matters.

What our clients tell us shapes how we run the practice. We listen, we learn and we make changes where we can.

You see the same vet

The practice is built around it. You get to know your vet, and your vet gets to know your pet. That continuity is the whole point.

No judgement

We know that every family and every budget is different. Nobody here will talk down to you because of what you can or cannot afford. We'll help you understand your options and make the best decisions for your pet, whatever your budget.

Help when money is tight

We know cost is the thing people worry about most. We offer various credit options so the cost of treatment can be spread out when it needs to be.

The Rimrose Health Care Plan.

A simple way to spread the cost of your pet's routine care across the year, paid monthly instead of in lump sums.

  • Yearly vaccinations and health checks
