Pioneering the future of advanced vetcare in South London

The culmination of 20 years

Advanced Vetcare London is the result of two decades of dedication, innovation and compassion. As part of the award-winning DNA Vetcare Group—founded by independent vets Dane Walker and Alan van Heerden—our story begins in the heart of South London. Both founders have deep roots in the community, with Dane living in Streatham, home to the group’s flagship hospital, Streatham Hill Vets.

For Dane, establishing an advanced veterinary centre in the area was a long-held dream: to bring the highest standards of clinical excellence and the most advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment directly to the local community he calls home.

A home for veterinary expertise

DNA Vetcare has long been recognised for exceptional standards, including being named London’s Best Vets for five consecutive years. Advanced Vetcare London builds on that reputation by assembling a team of high-level, veterinary experts across multiple disciplines.

Their collective expertise creates a true centre of excellence, offering advanced veterinary medicine previously accessible only at major teaching hospitals or distant referral centres.

Collaboration at its core

Advanced Vetcare London is a dedicated referral centre, partnering with veterinary practices across South London and beyond. We welcome vets seeking advanced support, second opinions or full specialist case management.

Collaboration is central to our mission: by working hand-in-hand with local vets, we ensure every pet receives the most informed, comprehensive and compassionate care possible.
