About Hird & Partners

Hird and Partners is conveniently located in central Halifax, which has recently moved to a purpose built site on King Street. Whilst our surroundings may be historic, we have a modern range of diagnostic and surgical facilities and a friendly and experienced team.

Ripponden Surgery

The Hird and Partners Ripponden branch surgery first opened its doors in December 2003. The surgery is conveniently located within the Centre of Ripponden village on Oldham Road, with ample on-road parking provision.

The surgery is staffed by our team of small animal Veterinary Surgeons and Nurses, based at our main King Street surgery.

The old site at Blackwall was home to a veterinary surgery for over 200 years with Mr and Mrs Abbott opening here in 1980. In 1977 John Hird took over the practice with the addition of Eddie Burt and Peter Schofield in 1997. In 1997 Sally Strachan and Chris Lockett joined the partnership, with Tim Booth later joining in 2015, forming Hird & Partners LLP. The Hird & Partners logo resembles the arachway over the original Blackwall site.

The Ripponden surgery offers a full medicine service, and has an operating theatre for routine procedures, including castrations, speys, lump removals and dental procedures. Cases requiring hospitalisation or more advanced diagnostic procedures may be referred to our main King Street surgery.

Our Ripponden branch offers free nurse clinics; including weight management clinics, dental checks and flea and worm consults. These are carried out by our team of qualified Veterinary Nurses.

Our out of hours service is provided by our own team of experienced veterinary surgeons. Should you require attention outside normal surgery hours, then please telephone 01422 354999 for assistance.

Walsden Surgery

Our Walsden branch opened for business in January 2012, allowing our existing farm and equine clients residing in the outskirts of Halifax to access a more local practice’s services and facilities in their own area. The surgery is located within a former Industrial unit in the village of Walsden, just outside of Todmorden.

The Walsden surgery has gone from strength to strength since opening and we have been pleased to welcome new clients as well as existing clients through our door. The surgery offers daily consultations and surgical appointments. The services we offer at Walsden are constantly evolving and we can now offer access to  MRI and CT scanning facilities. We can now also offer nurse appointments at Walsden.

Our out of hours service is covered by our own team of experienced veterinary surgeons. Should you require attention outside normal surgery hours, then please telephone 01422 354999 for assistance.
