Paragon Veterinary Group

Caring for animals for over 80 years

Paragon Veterinary Group is a Cumbrian-based veterinary practice with over 80 years experience in caring for animals. The name 'par-a-gon' refers to a model of excellence or perfection, and over the years we have gone from strength-to-strength to build up our reputation to the highest possible standards in our field.
Furthermore, we are passionate about doing this sustainably, being advocates for animal health and a sustainable future

We combine high standards of companion animal clinical veterinary practice with a commitment to nursing and all-round patient care. We have branches for consultation at Dalston, Newbiggin and at Oak Tree Animals' Charity near Wetheral.

We offer a PetProtect Club to provide affordable preventative veterinary care with unlimited veterinary consultations as well as partnering with an Insurance provider called PetProactice to help clients.

Our busy equine team covers the full range from companion donkeys through to racehorses and top-flight competition animals.

Working out of centres in Dalston near Carlisle and Newbiggin near Penrith, Paragon employs highly experienced and dedicated farm animal vets

We offer embryo transfer services, sexing, IVF, semen collection and a residential unit to farmers here in the UK and Ireland.
