Where expertise meets kindness

The Home Vet was founded in 2025 by Anna Preece, a highly experienced vet and true animal lover. We’re an independent, community-focused veterinary service built on compassion, integrity and modern medicine – all delivered in the comfort of your own home.

Our mission is simple: to provide expert, convenient and relaxed veterinary care, tailored to each pet and family. We believe in calm, unhurried consultations, clear communication and care that always puts pets’ wellbeing first.

We’re also deeply committed to palliative and end-of-life care, ensuring dignity, peace and comfort when you need it most. 


Meet Anna

Veterinary surgeon

(BVMS MRCVS)

Anna graduated from Glasgow University Vet School in 2005 and has since worked in both mixed and small animal practice – from Ross-on-Wye to Windsor to Australia. With two decades of experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge to every consultation, but what clients value most is her gentle bedside manner and the way she truly listens.

Anna loves building lasting relationships with pets and their families, supporting them through the joyful moments as well as the more difficult times.

At home, Anna is married with two children, a lively Labrador–cocker spaniel cross called Peggy and three cats – Rooster, Figgy and Sirius Black. Outside of work, you’ll often find her exploring the wilds of Herefordshire, planning her family’s next adventure or catching up with friends at the local pub.
