About Us
We’re immensely proud to be an independent veterinary practice on the Isle of Wight. We take pride in providing a personal, caring service in a relaxed and friendly environment. We strive to provide the highest possible care and offer everything from routine to urgent veterinary care and provide our own out of hours emergency service.
Our staff are always available to help and provide advice. We believe that seeing the same vet, nurse and receptionists allows us to develop a better relationship with our clients and patients, allowing us to provide a higher standard of care for healthier, happier pets.
Dr Peter Dommett MRCVS - Veterinary Surgeon
Pete has many years experience working in the veterinary field. He has worked with all kinds of animals across the world, from small animals in South Africa to horses in Mongolia. He has worked on horse safaris in Botswana to mixed practices in Scotland. His adventures have led him to the Isle of Wight where he became aware of a dire need for additional veterinary care, prompting the opening of The People's Vet.
Paul Rolfe - Practice Manager (CVLM)
Paul managed The Mobile Vet for several years before moving down to the west country to take up a new role at a veterinary hospital in Tavistock. A change in family circumstances prompted a return to the Island. Luckily he'd kept in touch with Pete and when the vacancy arose, he was eager to help Pete and the team grow the practice. When not at work, Paul enjoys kayaking around the Island, gardening and steam railways!
