Our story

Our practice has evolved from humble beginnings.

The practice was initially started at Wyndham Hill in Yeovil and Station House in Sherborne. These two practices, then under the ownership of Graham Watson and Mark Newton-Clarke respectively, came together to form Newton Clarke and Watson and eventually Newton Clarke Veterinary Surgeons on Graham’s retirement.

Both practices outgrew themselves over time and we now find ourselves in Preston Road, Yeovil (since 2017) and more recently, our purpose-built practice in Sheeplands Lane, Sherborne (since 2024).

Along with our facilities evolving, our team has evolved too. We have added experience, new ideas, and embraced change along the way.

Meet Our Team

Our vision

We provide lifelong, compassionate care for pets and their owners, driven by clinical excellence and a commitment to sustainability in a progressive, independent practice.

As a Newton Clarke Vets team member, we can expect:

  • Honesty, always
  • To feel valued and supported
  • To be treated with respect and encouraged to grow — both professionally and personally

Independent

We are an independently owned practice. We sit uniquely amongst a sea of corporates and are now the only independent practice in the area. ​
This means we manage our practice ourselves, without requiring authorisation from a Head Office; allowing us to change quickly in response to feedback from both pet owners and team members alike. The people that you meet day to day, who treat and care for your pets, are the people responsible for making the decisions that keep our practice running smoothly and progressing. The decisions that we make in our practice are to improve pet care, owner experience and team wellbeing; they are not based on directions from Shareholders to achieve financial targets and goals. We reinvest in your pets care, in our facilities, in our equipment and extensively in team training. We are proudly independent.
