Our Commitment to Sustainability at Young Veterinary Partnership

At Young Veterinary Partnership, we’re always mindful of our carbon footprint and continually strive to make environmentally responsible choices across all our practices.

Moving Towards Digital Solutions

In 2025, we will be introducing digital consent forms for pet procedures at our three locations, reducing paper and ink waste.

For flea, worming, and vaccination reminders, we offer notifications via text, email, or letter. To help us care for the planet, we kindly encourage you to choose digital options wherever possible.

Responsible Medicines Disposal

We provide a free disposal service for unwanted, unused, or expired medicines prescribed by our practice. This ensures safe, responsible disposal, keeping harmful substances out of the environment.

Sustainability in Our Operations

• Reusable Theatre Attire: Our team uses washable scrub suits and theatre shoes, minimising landfill waste.
• Virtual CPD Attendance: Our qualified team members attend continued professional development (CPD) virtually whenever possible.
• Responsible Veterinary Practices: Our vets practice responsible prescribing of antimicrobials and parasiticides to protect the environment and reduce drug resistance. 

Simple Steps You Can Take

As a valued client, here’s how you can help us reduce our carbon footprint:

• Check for Digital Claim Forms: Does your pet insurance provider offer an online portal?
• Opt for Eco-Friendly Visits: Could you visit the practice on foot?
• Share Your Email Address: Help us reduce paper by choosing digital communication.

Partnering with Eco-Friendly Companies

We work closely with NVS, our primary supplier, who shares our commitment to sustainability:

• Their new warehouse features rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and EV charging points and has an energy performance rating of “excellent.”
• Deliveries arrive in 100% recycled plastic tote boxes, reducing packaging waste.
• They follow the principles of Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink, continuously seeking sustainable solutions to minimise waste.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference for our planet while continuing to provide exceptional care for your pets. Thank you for supporting our efforts!
