What is Rowan Vets and what does the website offer?
Updated
Rowan Vets is an independent veterinary practice in Lancashire, England, with two locations: a main surgery on Hillock Lane near Preston and a branch surgery on Whitegate Drive in Blackpool. Its website (rowanvets.co.uk) is the practice's own site, offering service information, pet registration, appointment booking, a price section, team and facility details, and contact information for both surgeries. It is aimed at pet owners in the Preston and Blackpool areas who want to register an animal, book a visit, or check what care the practice provides.
Where Rowan Vets is located
The practice describes its two sites as "prime locations in Lancashire":
| Location | Address | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Hillock Lane (main practice, near Preston) | Hillock Lane, Preston, Lancashire, PR4 1TP | 01772 639 800 |
| The Old Bank (branch, Blackpool) | 369 Whitegate Drive, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY3 9PH | 01253 766 352 |
Both sites share the email address [email protected]. The main Preston practice is described as being surrounded by a meadow, and the Blackpool site is referred to on the site as "The Old Bank."
What services the website lists
The site's services section covers:
- Preventative pet care — advice and treatment aimed at keeping pets healthy
- Referrals for specialist vet care — for cases needing a specialist
- Cat Friendly Clinic — the practice identifies itself this way
- Pet Health Club / Pet Health Plan — a plan option listed in the site navigation
- FREE pet care advice — listed as a service entry
The site also states the practice is an advocate of Fear Free pet care, and that its independence lets it tailor services to individual clients and pets.
What you can do on the site
The navigation and page content point to several practical actions:
- Register your pet — a dedicated registration route, including an orthopaedic referral form
- Book an appointment — a booking call-to-action for the Preston or Blackpool surgeries
- Check prices — a dedicated "Our Prices" page at rowanvets.co.uk/pricing/
- Read about the team and facilities — "Meet Our Team" and "Our Facilities" pages
- Find fact sheets and news — under a "News & Care" section
- Contact or find a surgery — addresses, phone numbers and email for both sites
- Emergencies — an emergencies entry point is listed in the site navigation
Who it is for
The site covers care for cats, dogs, rabbits and small mammals, based on the species listed in its navigation. It positions itself around customer experience ("feel like part of our family") and around being independent rather than part of a corporate group.
One thing the site does not state in the material available: whether the Pet Health Club or any service carries a specific fee, or whether booking or registration requires an account. Those details sit behind the linked pages rather than the homepage, so check the relevant page directly before relying on an assumption either way.
When this site is the right starting point
Use rowanvets.co.uk if you are in or near Preston or Blackpool and want to register a pet, book a routine or referral appointment, or read up on the practice before choosing a vet. If you need emergency care, the site lists an emergencies route — call the surgery numbers above rather than relying on the website alone.
