New Knaresborough vets to open next week
A new veterinary practice is to open in Knaresborough next week.
Your Family Vets will have a soft launch from Monday (November 4) in the former Tower Vets unit on Wetherby Road.
Tower Vets closed suddenly in June after “recruitment struggles”.
Now the site will operate as the first Your Family Vets practice run by Philip Simon, 44.
Mr Simon, founder and clinical director, said:
Our motto is traditional values, modern approach. I hope to take it back to when Mr Lowe had Ashleigh Vets.
Being an independent, family-owned business means we can provide a personalised approach to pet health care rather than a faceless company. We can provide continuity of care like you’d want at a doctors surgery.
Every animal is an individual and every pet owner should have clear options available to them and help from their practice.

The practice has undergone an extensive renovation and an equipment upgrade.
This will enable it to offer small animal surgery and other more advanced treatments in-house.
The site now can now provide advanced X-rays, ultrasounds, blood diagnostics and keyhole surgery.
Mr Simon added:
We have gone over budget to get the latest technology. Everything is cutting edge to allow for that extra level of service.
The practice has created five jobs and will be accepting new patients from Monday. It will be open from 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Weekends are reserved for emergencies.
