About this company

Independent Vetcare Limited is registered at Companies House under number 07746795, with veterinary activities recorded as its nature of business. Companies House filing history shows the company now trades as Inspiring Vet Care Limited, indicating a change from its original registered name. The company remains active and has filed accounts and confirmation statements consistent with an operating business rather than a dormant or holding entity. Evidence from Companies House filings confirms multiple director appointments and terminations over recent years, alongside registered charges, but does not describe specific services offered beyond the stated veterinary activities classification. No further detail on operational scale, client base or group structure is provided in the available evidence.
