161 Kew Road first became a Veterinary Surgery at the beginning of the 1970s. The surgery changed hands a couple of times before arguably the most significant period in it’s history began, when Pierre Andre moved to Richmond. Having trained at The Royal Veterinary College and first working in North London, Pierre joined the surgery to work with the then owner, Mr Davis, before eventually buying, and putting his name to, the business.

Pierre Andre hence spent the majority of his professional career providing the animals of Richmond and their owners with outstanding Veterinary care. He decided to take his much deserved retirement early in 2009, and it was at this time that the current owner, Tim Richardson, took over as the surgery PrincipaL.

IN EARLY 2011 TIM ORGANISED RENOVATION WORK TO IMPROVE THE FACILTIES IN THE SURGERY, AND IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT THE NAME CHANGED TO RICHMOND VETS, WHICH MARKED THE START OF A NEW CHAPTER.
