BestUKVets Awards 2025
Returning to the Thames!
Get your glad rags, sunnies, and celebratory spirit ready - it’s nearly time for our favourite event of the year. The BestUKVets Awards 2025 are just around the corner, and we at Digital Practice are once again thrilled to be sponsoring this fabulous event. 🥂
Where’s the party this year?
The awards are returning to the Thames Rowing Club in Putney - yes, the same stunning venue as 2023. This place has it all: Georgian charm, glittering water views, and a sun-soaked veranda made for sipping fizz and toasting the best of the best in UK vet practice.
What are the Awards all about?
The BestUKVets Awards shine a spotlight on practices across the country who have racked up glowing reviews on VetHelpDirect.com - because nothing says “you’re doing an amazing job” quite like a chorus of happy clients and their equally happy pets.
We’re talking hundreds of practices, thousands of reviews, and a handful of sparkling trophies waiting to go home with the UK’s most loved clinics.
And the categories are...
It’s not just about one overall winner. Oh no. We’re celebrating excellence in all its glorious shapes and sizes - because veterinary medicine isn’t a ‘one-shoe-fits-all’ industry. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
🏆 Top 25 – Out of thousands of vet practices reviewed, this category accolades the top 25 within the UK.
🌍 Best in Country – From Scotland to Wales, England to Northern Ireland, we’ve got national pride covered.
📍 Best in County – The local heroes keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching from Devon to Dundee.
📣 Best in Category – Because your niche matters. Categories include: New Start-Up, Cat Clinic, Mobile Vet, Equine, Farm, Small Practice, Referrals and Elite.
🥉 Bronze, 🥈 Silver, and 🥇 Gold Awards – The most prestigious trio of them all, awarded to the highest-scoring practices in the UK.
How did they get here?
Simple(ish): by delivering fantastic care that clients can’t help but rave about, and by making sure those rave reviews found their way to VetHelpDirect.com. The deadline for reviews was 10th Feb 2025, and now the stage is set for a day of recognition, fizz, and lots of cheer. Read more about the awards.
Why we care (and you should too)
At Digital Practice, we believe vets deserve more than “just another day at the surgery.” You deserve applause, acknowledgement, and the kind of party where someone inevitably loses their bowtie. These Awards matter because they put pet owner satisfaction and animal welfare front and centre - a value we align with and deliver on through our client communication tool for modern veterinary teams. Seamlessly integrated with your PMS and powered by WhatsApp, Digital Practice helps you streamline client comms, reduce chaos, and reclaim team time - all while delivering an easy experience pet owners remember. So what better way to connect with our community, than lifting up those within it.
See you in June!
All shortlisted practices received an invite to join the celebration in London this June - on that gorgeous riverside terrace, bubbles in hand. If you made it to the shortlist (25+ reviews between 11th Feb 2024 and 10th Feb 2025), then you’re officially in the running for an award, baby!
If you managed to grab a ticket before they sold out, dust off your dancing shoes, book your train to Putney, and get ready for an afternoon of good vibes, good company, and a whole lot of love for UK Vets.
