Rosemullion Veterinary Practice – Penryn

We care for your animals and we also care about animals.

We are located in Falmouth, Helston and Penryn. The Falmouth branch relocated in August 2021 to a purpose build state-of-the-art, fully equipped hospital, offering an extensive range of referral services. Rosemullion reconfigured their out of hours service at this time, which is now provided by MiNightVet Falmouth out of the same building. The Helston clinic is a large purpose-built branch surgery and our branch in Penryn is a dedicated small animal surgery.

We provide a complete care service for your animals, anything from a routine consultation to a diagnosis or complex operation. We treat all companion species – dogs, cats, rabbits and exotics (including birds, other small mammals, tortoises and other reptiles).

As well as our comprehensive first opinion service, we also assess and treat ophthalmology (eyes), orthopaedic (bone and joint), advance imaging (CT & MRI) and soft tissue surgery referrals  from other veterinary practices based all over the county.

We are regularly and comprehensively inspected by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and our Falmouth hospital has been awarded Small Animal Veterinary Hospital accreditation in the Practice Standards Scheme. Helston and Penryn have also been accredited against the General Practice Standards.

Rosemullion was first established as a mixed animal practice in 1885 on Beacon Street in Falmouth. We separated our small and large animal work in October 2014 with Rosemullion specialising in small/companion animals and Coast2Coast, our sister organisation, specialising in large animal work. We are delighted that from these modest beginning we have grown into a leading veterinary service provider in Cornwall.
