"Hello Vet, which allows owners to stay with their pets as they go under and wake up from anaesthesia, plans to open at least 20 to 25 new clinics and hire around 200 vets and veterinary nurses over the next two years. The business says its growth will be paced carefully to ensure standards of care are maintained. James Lighton, co-founder and chief executive of Hello Vet, said the funding gives the company confidence to scale, but not at the expense of quality."
""We have the funding to open at least 20 or 25 more clinics," he said. "The pace is really about how quickly we can be confident that quality of care isn't declining as we grow. We'd rather do it well over four years than badly in a year and a half." The latest funding round was led by US venture capital firm Addition and UK-based investor Future Positive, alongside 15 veterinary professionals who previously backed the business with £6 million in 2023."
Hello Vet secured £15 million to accelerate UK expansion while maintaining care standards. The clinic model lets owners stay with pets during anaesthesia. The company plans to open at least 20–25 new clinics and recruit about 200 vets and veterinary nurses over the next two years, with growth paced to protect quality. The latest round was led by Addition and Future Positive alongside 15 veterinary professionals who previously invested £6 million in 2023. Hello Vet has around 7,500 registered patients and publishes estimated procedure costs, positioning prices in the middle of the market amid regulatory scrutiny of veterinary pricing.
