Our Story

Pioneer Veterinary Products is an independently owned business dedicated to supporting veterinary professionals, with over 100 years of experience caring for animals.

Built from farming roots, medical pharmaceutical knowledge and a genuine understanding of animal care, we are a trusted partner for busy practices and hospitals that need more than a supplier.

 Our point of difference is simple: Reducing Pressure. Delivering Confidence. We understand the pace of practice life, where time is limited, reliability matters and every decision counts.

 That is why we focus on decisive speed where it matters, reliability you can plan around, customised solutions and personalised support that makes everyday operations simpler.

 Guided by agility, trust, integrity, passion and continuous improvement, our multi-skilled team delivers fast, tailored support through real people and lasting relationships.

 Based on our working farm, with our farm dogs always ready for a fuss, our roots keep us grounded while our standards drive us forward. 

Here To Support You

Pioneer’s unique culture is founded on our passion for ‘supporting the best in animal care’. With our team’s combined wealth of knowledge and experience, we offer guidance and support when you need it.

Our many long-standing customers can testify that our constant desire is to give back to the industry. We share educational tips on social media, create informative, analytical resources and support expertise within the veterinary profession. We also provide our own CPD sessions tailored to your practice when you want to explore a particular subject just that bit more.

As a comprehensive supplier, our quality product range is backed up by a reliable supply chain giving you peace of mind that you will receive the products you need, whether it be t-connectors and tea bags or forceps and fridges!

From independent practices to corporate groups, we support all customers with care and attention - whatever the size. We understand that the day-to-day in veterinary practice is full of highs and lows, but we also understand that above all, you love what you do and want to provide the best care possible for your patients. We’re here to help you do just that.
