New veterinary practice opens in Moira with support from Ulster Bank

Founded by local veterinarian Rebecca Martin, the Moira based clinic will offer a range of services to small animals.

Rebecca, who graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2012, previously worked in corporate practices and found the care for animals to be very expensive which can lead to potential long-term concerns for animal welfare, with owners being unable to afford their pet’s treatment.

Having decided to specialise in small animal medicine, she subsequently attained a certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice. Her passion for animals from a young age combined with her desire to offer quality, affordable and accessible care for peoples’ pets, led her to the decision to open Affinity Vets in her hometown of Moira, recognising a gap in the market for a new, small animal only practice.

“Pets are one of the family and it is important they get the care they deserve,” said Rebecca. “I am fortunate to be joined by an experienced team, and

through our combined years of knowledge and experience, we aim to offer the best quality veterinary care possible.

“I am very thankful to have my vision supported by Ulster Bank. Without this, our new venture would simply not have been possible. They have helped make this process really smooth and easy, with a fantastic customer support team who are always readily available. With their support, our long-term vision for this practice is far more than I could ever have imagined.”
