Nurture Vets Proudly Independent for more than 50 years

March 7, 2026

Nurture Vet GP & Dentist and 24/7 Hospital Care, Wells and Weston — Proudly Independent for Over 50 Years.

At a time when many veterinary practices are being bought by large corporate groups, Nurture remains proudly independent. The practice has been caring for pets in Wells for over 50 years and, for the past 19, has been developed under the guidance of local vet Charlie Moore.

Since becoming a partner in Westfield Vets in 2012, Charlie’s focus has been on continually improving and expanding the facilities to deliver outstanding, personal veterinary care.

What does ‘independent’ really mean?

It means decisions are made in the best interest of our patients and team — driven by our staff and not dictated by external investors.

In 2021, the practice expanded by acquiring a second site in Weston-super-Mare, formerly Summer Lane Vets. With this expansion, both sites came together under a new name and shared vision: Nurture. Our name reflects both our upgraded facilities and, more importantly, our ethos — to nurture and care for the pets and people in our communities.

We actively support local events, hosting Open Days with fun dog shows each September, in partnership with local charities. We also take part in initiatives like the Macmillan Coffee Morning, and our team regularly fundraises through charity runs and community events.

First-opinion vets with hospital-level care

As your local  independent vets, Nurture Wells is proud to be an RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital — offering the full range of services you’d expect from a true hospital setting, including:

  • 24/7 emergency care
  • On-site overnight nursing
  • Advanced diagnostics and treatment options

The same friendly staff you see during the day are the same qualified professionals providing care out of hours. We are the only on-site, on-call veterinary team in Wells.

Whether you’re at Nurture Vet Hospital in Wells or visiting our Weston site, you’ll have access to hospital-level care, including referral to Langford Vets Hospital when needed — ensuring continuity and top-tier service.

Modern facilities for kinder, quicker recoveries

We offer a wide range of advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures, including:

  • Ultrasound
  • Endoscopy
  • Digital and dental X-rays
  • Keyhole (laparoscopic) spays and surgery

These techniques mean shorter procedures, less discomfort, reduced risk, and faster recovery times for your pets.

Our consulting rooms are spacious and comfortable, each featuring a desk and chairs so we can sit down with you during your visit. With longer 20-minute appointments, our vets take the time to listen to your concerns and work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to you and your pet.

We also offer ambulatory home visits — ideal for clients who may struggle with transport, allowing pets to be seen in the comfort of their own homes.

If you value continuity, compassion, and true independence, choose Nurture in Wells and Weston.
