Chichester Vets

Chichester Vets has been formed from Elliott and Bulbeck Veterinary Practice with the addition of local vet Dr Francois du Plessis MRCVS, who has joined Dr Nicola Bulbeck MRCVS in early 2021 as Dr Mark Elliott MRCVS who set up the practice 10 years previously stepped back from general practice.

We are a local team, most of us having been brought up in and around Chichester, and we are committed to remaining an independent non-corporate practice owned and run by local vets and nurses. Our experienced team works together utilising decades worth of experience, skill and knowledge to deliver you with the best care and service.

At Chichester vets our mission is to provide a full range of high quality, affordable and modern veterinary care that is tailored to you and your pet’s needs; inside a personal, traditional and friendly practice. We recognise that each one of our patients are individual, and we enjoy spending the time to get to know them as the unique characters they are. Our vision is to build long term relationships with our patients and you, their owners; where healthcare is about knowing, understanding and enabling choice; recognising that the welfare of the three important elements (Patient, Client and Vet) is fundamental to achieving this. We are working to a new model, one that is not based around the usual business plan, and one that we feel is fit for the future. We want to ensure and maintain the joy, companionship and affordability of having a pet. To that end we intend to remain small, personal and approachable. Using the contacts we have made over the years to ensure the best healthcare possible for our patients, offering our specialist skills to our clients and to colleagues and referring what others do better to those others where necessary. In short we have evolved a practice offering truly integrated healthcare for animals.
